Reliable leaker billbil-kun has claimed Sony Interactive Entertainment has teased the PlayStation 5 Pro in the image for PlayStation's 30th anniversary.
The leaker recently claimed the PS5 Pro, a mid-generation upgrade to the PS5, will be announced in the first half of September and stated they have access to the packaging design for the PS5 Pro. They said they are not allowed to share copyright images and have instead drawn a sketch of the console, which can be seen below.
The design of the PS5 Pro in the sketch, if accurate, is similar to the PS5 Slim with the addition of three black stripes across the middle of the console and a slightly larger size. It will also be colored white.
If the sketch is accurate, it does match what can be seen in the image for PlayStation's 30th anniversary. Between the PlayStation logo and the text "30th" you can see a vertical rectangle with multiple stripes.
Thanks to those who bumped me,

So yes, we can say that Sony itself is confirming my design draft of the PS5 Pro 😉 pic.twitter.com/oqW8kF9K1q
The leaker isn't sure if the PS5 Pro will have a disc drive version or not, as the package design they have access to is for a digital version. The leaker does theorize the PS5 Pro will ship without a disc drive to keep the cost down.
The PS5 Pro will reportedly come with a standard white PS5 DualSense controller that comes with the PS5 Slim.

Of all the systems in that image... they left out the PS2, their most successful platform. Among the systems I found the PS One (not the PS1), PS3 (fat), PS3 (super slim), PS4 (fat), PS4 Pro, PS5 (slim), PSP, PSP Go, PS Vita and that PS5 Pro.
No PS1, PS3 (slim), PS4 (slim), PS5 (fat) or any reference to the PS2 (fat or slim).
I guess there are different arrangements... I found this one that shows the PS2 fat and PS5 fat

PS4 was FAR more successful than the PS2. Units sold doesn't always mean more successful. The MTX from games like fortnite and roblox brings in more money than you can imagine
Even if you discount PS2 being the all-time leading console ever (which it is), it was far more culturally relevant than the PS4. When that thing launched, it was like the Beatles had gotten back together. It was the game industry unto itself. The alpha AND omega.
I'm a believer.
Previous leaks and the leaked design made me think maybe 50-67% chance PS5 Pro is real. Now it's 99%.
