标题党

微软怎么知道ps5卖不卖slim，文件是指内部有一些预测，原文也写的是指预计可能发售。

包括微软还expect了ps6会在2028上市，按照楼主的思路就是微软公布2028 ps6发售

要不先去查查assume和expect的区别？再查查  be expected to的意思？ 拿中文回来推敲英文没法聊啊
btw, the price and launch window are also specified.

Court documents have revealed that Microsoft expects the next console generation to begin no earlier than 2028.

The successors to the PS5 and the Xbox Series X's "expected starting period" is 2028 according to court documents revealed in the ongoing FTC legal battle. This means that a proposed PS6 and next-generation Xbox console will debut eight years after the launch of the current console systems


Where is your “assume“？

The verge的标题可比这个准确多了
https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/4/23783621/microsoft-playstation-5-slim-model-release-date-pricing


Microsoft seems to think we’re getting a PS5 Slim this year

而且预测ps5 slim的同一份文件还包括了对掌机设备的部分，并且并不完全准确

Microsoft’s prediction also has a footnote that says “Sony is also anticipated to release a handheld version of PlayStation 5 later this year for under $300,” which isn’t fully accurate. Sony is planning a handheld device later this year that can run PS5 games by streaming them over Wi-Fi from a PS5 console. Microsoft doesn’t cite any third-party sources for the PS5 slim timing or pricing in its findings of fact and conclusion of law document.

Your title used the word "announce"

Microsoft expects the next console generation to begin no earlier than 2028.

According to your logic it should be titled as "Microsoft announces that the release of PS6 will take place before 2028" which clearly is not true.

显然The Verge的英文母语编辑也只是5th grade的英语水平了，居然认为microsoft的expect只是prediction

Microsoft thinks we’re getting a PS5 Slim model later this year that might be priced at $399.99. The software giant is currently waiting a ruling in the FTC v. Microsoft hearing and as part of the case Microsoft has filed documents which reveal it thinks a PS5 Slim is on the way “later this year.” Here’s exactly what Microsoft says:

PlayStation likewise sells a less expensive Digital Edition for $399.99, and is expected to release a PlayStation 5 Slim later this year at the same reduced price point.

Insider Gaming reported last year that Sony was preparing for a PS5 with a detachable disc drive for September 2023. The console is rumored to be sold on its own without the disc drive or in a bundle, which suggests Sony could be considering making the slimmer version of the PS5 the default. This would allow people to pick with or without a bundled drive, with the option to add a drive later on if needed. Currently you have to either buy a $399 PS5 Digital Edition or the $499 PS5 with a disc drive, but there’s no option to connect an optional drive at a later date.

Microsoft’s prediction also has a footnote that says “Sony is also anticipated to release a handheld version of PlayStation 5 later this year for under $300,” which isn’t fully accurate. Sony is planning a handheld device later this year that can run PS5 games by streaming them over Wi-Fi from a PS5 console. Microsoft doesn’t cite any third-party sources for the PS5 slim timing or pricing in its findings of fact and conclusion of law document.

If Microsoft’s knowledge of Sony’s planned PlayStation hardware is accurate, it wouldn’t be the first time we’ve seen secrets spill in FTC v. Microsoft. Last week a confidential Sony document wasn’t properly redacted, leading to details spilling about the margins Sony shares with publishers, its Call of Duty revenues, and even the cost of developing some of its games.

Court documents are legal records that contain various assertions, arguments, and claims made by the involved parties. These documents are part of a legal process and may include opinions, beliefs, or predictions related to the case.

The term "expected" suggests a level of anticipation or belief about a future outcome, but it does not necessarily guarantee its certainty. The information about the handheld device in the same document has already been proved inaccurate, compromising the certainty of projection from Microsoft.

And you should clearly notice the reports you referenced never used the word "announce", but "leak" or "reveal". The court document was an unofficial disclosure of information that may not have been intended for public knowledge. It is not Microsoft's place to announce a product from a competitor like Sony. Microsoft's mention of Sony's potential release of a PS5 Slim in a court document does not constitute an official confirmation or announcement from Microsoft about Sony's plans.

Kotaku's title is clearly clickbait like yours, with a subtitle "Court documents show the Xbox creator not only revealing the PS5 Slim, but pricing it at $400", using a more appropriate term.
The term “reveal” was used throughout the text.
Again, it is not Microsoft's place to announce any product from a competitor like Sony.

And the anticipation from Microsoft is based on current-gen products and previous patterns, given that all PlayStation consoles have released a "slim" version. It is a reasonable prediction but apparently not a confirmation or an announcement.

I have said clearly from the very start that use of “announce” is clickbait and inaccurate.
And it is you who use this word in the first place.

The interpretation from verge shows for native speakers, considering the context, the quotes from the court document are predictions and anticipations. You can teach them whatever grammar you like…

Microsoft made a reasonable anticipation based on current gen products and patterns from previous generations. And you tried conceptual shift to mispresent my point by using betting or guessing.

Again brazenly try to shun your click-baiting by using “announce” (as I have said in the FIRST reply) Your reasoning and wording is a total mess

微软还expect了ps6会在2028上市，按照楼主的思路就是微软公布2028 ps6发售

Same logic, same absurdity
