Would line up with a small drop in adoption due to price, in comparison to the PS4 Pro's market share

What a ripoff!!! Take my advice, don't waste your hard earned money on this, Sony hasn't released a single game yet that utilises the full power of the base ps5 yet, what makes you think they will for the ps5 pro?. As we saw in the video, the games look pretty much same to me across both of the systems, not a chance in hell I'll be suckered into buying this thing, what a waste of money.

Lmao. Nope. 800 with a disk drive for this small upgrade. I'm out.

Okay... explain why the PS5 has gotten more expensive since then?
Also, who is being stupid if you aren't factoring in that Sony typ[ically sell consoles at a loss?
It doesn't matter how tech is advancing, what matters is how much it cost them to make the damn thing.
I have already addressed why its stupid to even bring apple into this conversation.

Meh, not interested in those as the PC does that already.

In the EU (Spain), a GPU far superior to the one PS5 has (7900 GRE) costs around €560.
A RIG with it might cost you around 1,200 - 1,300 €, which is not much more than €900...
And you'd save a lot of money because games are much cheaper, and there's no PS Plus subscription.
I'm sorry Sony, PC wins this time.

Have we gotten GoT2 already? Totally flew under my radar if so

And? The 100 price difference still doesn't add up.

Gonna be like 10K SEK in Sweden lol (a standard PS5 is almost 7000). And that's without a disc drive, which I will need. So I don't know man. Before the price reveal I was 90% sure I was getting one, now I'm at like 10%.

I'm not sure who they are marketing the PS5 Pro at.
People who are graphic whores will stick to expensive GPUs.
I would much rather waste £1000 on an RTX 5080 than buy a PS5 Pro for £700 which is already underpowered.

No stand
No premium controller
No pack in game
No new first party game announced to look forward too
Not surprised ..... I thought this would at least have a premium bluray player built in.

I'm of the opinion that anyone buying a console at these price points is a mug (the same will go for whatever Xbox hobble together for their next and final go of this, if the rumours are to be believed). This is insanity for a locked down (both from a hardware, and a software perspective) piece of hardware.
We are officially in the territory of encroaching PC price points, and to make matters worse the games are 99% the same across the platforms.
How do you do a reveal for a new piece of hardware and the headline games you show are a bunch of cross gen games that are also already available on PC with the exact same (if not better) settings?

Yeah, that price is retarded for a mid-gen refresh. I hope those that buy it enjoy it.

You actually believe it costs Sony more to produce a PS5 Slim DE in 2024 than it did for them to produce the PS5 DE in 2020?
Meanwhile they’re charging $50 more for it 4 years later lmao

My only concern with launching a $700 / £700 Pro console is that it may not sell enough numbers to justify most third-parties supporting it properly with PSSR and RT features over the base game. And with the way Sony treated the similarly expensive PS VR2, which they basically released and ignored, who is to say that first-party support will last beyond the first year or two? Also, if this Pro model is $700 / £700 now then how much is the PS6 going to cost? Sony haven't cut the price of the PS5 since it launched, both the console and the controllers have got more expensive!

The comparison with a smartphone remains interesting indeed.
Pro price Is too steep for me, i'll wait for a discount. Guess it is really for the professional...

You can build a substantially more powerful (ryzen 5800X + rx7800 xt w/ 32GB DDR4) PC in a smaller form factor (the beautiful Fractal Ridge) for under $1200. And you'll get major performance uplift in ALL games. No subscription to play online.

I think in this new world of tech pricing, it isn't appropriate to call people stupid due to the confusion this causes. This new reality hasn't sunken in for many people. Honestly, I want to lean towards the optimistic mindset that this is just hiccup, and market forces will claw prices back down.

Yep. I couldn't get the PS5 for the first two years, so I decided to wait for the Pro *pending price*. $699 is a NOPE for me so now I just want to grab a vanilla PS5, but that somehow doesn't feel worth it at $499( I need a drive).
This is a weird timeliness.

If they go any than this than they don't need to release ps6.
Totally! It's basically 100 bucks more in profit from europe. No one in europe should buy this.

Dows it come with a $700 rim job?.......

$800 to lose the disc drive and only sort of blend quality and performance on Sony first party games only.

You answered your question. I have a 4090. I can't play Final Fantasy Rebirth on the PC. I likely won't be able to play GTA6 on PC when its released due to console timed exclusives. As long as Sony is producing exclusives that aren't on PC day 1, there is a market for this.

Pretty steep. I think I'm going to hold off and spend twice that on a 5080 when they come out.

That's probably gonna be 800 too, or at least 700. People snapping up PS5 at double MSRP to start the gen told Sony they could have charged more out the gate.800 Euro? that's a hard pass from me
Meet me again at the ps6 Sony

The european price is absurd, like I though the people that were predicting 499 or 549 where huffing mad hopium, but I though 699 for a Pro with Disc Drive would be fair. 799 yuros with no disc drive is mental.
If it was a big jump ok, but if the sales pitch is some RT sprikled in and "fidelity-like graphics at performance framerates" is the sales pitch flys over me, like even Cerny himself said that 3/4 for the playerbase picks performance over fidelity, so they usually prefer better framerates yet this as next to no improvement in CPU performance so CPU bound titles will get barely any performance improvements.
Not for me, especially at that price, but waiting for the DF comparisons.

it was good, and in retrospect there was barely a reason for the PS5.

Well its a greedy price point for a console. No would should defend sony over this.
