Sony unveils 2 updated PlayStations: Pro and slim versions

The new design will be lighter, slimmer and more powerful. Microsoft has yet to reveal much beyond the codename of its souped-up Xbox coming next year, called Project Scorpio, except that it will support virtual reality gaming. However, based on recent leaks, the PlayStation 4 Slim is a likely candidate. Come back to IGN on Wednesday (Thursday if you live in Australia!) to watch the conference streamed live on the site.

We may also see some new footage of games that are scheduled to release in 2017.

Uploaded by Youtuber Links-tech (via Kotaku), the 20-minute teardown takes the PS4 Slim apart piece by piece, carefully poking around the components of Sony's mysterious system.

The console will feature a 1TB hard drive, advanced graphics and a faster processor, but more detailed specs were not unveiled. The peripheral's launch lineup is already substantial and includes heavy hitters like Batman: Arkham VR, but pre-orders sold out at all major retailers and supplies aren't expected to be replenished until after it launches.

We also hear Rockstar Games could be attending the show to unveil a remastered version of Red Dead Redemption, although that's now just a rumor.

Netflix Inc NFLX.O will launch a new app when the console launches with 600 hours of 4k content, including its hit crime series "Narcos", House said.

Many expect the announcement of the PlayStation Neo to occur during the event.

No word yet on the price point or release date for PS4 Pro, but keep your peepers peeled on We Got This Covered as we'll be updating this post as this story develops. After Xbox One S was confirmed to be using a 16nm APU manufactured by TSMC, it was logical that Sony's console would follow the same route, since both of them use APU designed by AMD.
