A nice option for sure. Further cements how ridiculous the Pro pricing is though as it's one digital pro system for the price of two regular digital ones (even non-refurbished since it's often been discounted).
It is not far off 2025. You may as well wait for a PS6.
Yeah, I was considering getting a Pro before the announcement but now? I'd rather wait for the next console.
PS6 is still about 3-4 years away. Why even bring it up.
Yeah, not sure where people have got the mindset that the next gen (when we've had 7 year gens for the last 2 gens), is imminent when PS5 hasn't even been out for 4 years yet.
I suspect it's just another form of console warring. Saying "don't buy PS5 because of Xbox" has failed so now we have moved onto
-
Don't buy PS5 because PS6 is coming out soon
-Don't buy PS5 Pro because it's too expensive
Xbox wasn't even mentioned in the article. It also wasn't mentioned by anyone in the comments. You are the only console warrior here.
One of the rare times it actually makes sense now. There ha been a discussion/rumors that since Xbox isn't doing a "pro" version they will launch a new Xbox soon.
Which follows the belief that if Xbox launches soon than PlayStation would have to.
No they wouldn't. You think Sony will have to react to MS's severely underperforming Xbox sales? If the new Xbox follows the sales trend of the last two Xbox's, it will sell about 20 million. This is not the Xbox 360 days. MS have explicitly stated they are not trying to out console Sony anymore, and they are bringing their games to Playstation
PS6 wasn't mentioned in the article either but it's ok to use a non existent console to put down the PS5? No problems with that eh?
Why do you literally always bring up Xbox anytime someone criticizes or dislikes something Sony does? lol
Because why else would someone use a console that doesn't exist to discredit one that does? What could be the motive for that? We will never know for sure but we can suspect what the motive is.
Go on. Expand. Why do you think 2025 matters? Do you think they are going to release the PS6 in 2025?
As someone who is in the market for a second PS5... and someone that prefers the og PS5, I'm pretty happy about this
With that being said, this is mostly for a lower income family that is buying a console for a child...
It's funny how times change with regards to money. During the PS2 era, the demographic you mentioned were getting $99.99 dollar PS2s after year four. Now, it's $350.00 dollar consoles, which is fifty dollars more than PS2 was AT LAUNCH lol. It's crazy.
Man, I miss the days when slim consoles were actually SLIM and usually half the price with more efficient hardware lol
