As Sony finally release the PS5 Pro, a reader explains why he hasn’t bought it and compares it to the folktale of the emperor’s new clothes. If Sony is upset about the constant stream of complaints that fans have sent its way over the last year and more they don’t show any sign of it. But that’s the problem.
They don’t show any sign of anything. It’s like an AI is running the company and it purposefully tries to communicate as little as possible or it’ll give the game away. I’d almost believe that was happening, except there’s no way computer logic could have lead to the PS5 Pro .
Christmas is coming soon and I was pondering what to get (in conjunction with my girlfriend) for my big present. A PS5 Pro is the obvious answer, as I did get a PS4 Pro . It didn’t make that much a difference but it was nice knowing you had the most powerful version and I’m pretty sure by the end of the generation a lot of games were designed with it in mind, because even then they only barely ran well enough.
But if there’s going to be a similar problem this generation, I’ll just put up with it because the PS5 Pro price is absolutely ridiculous. The standard PlayStation 5 is £480 (and can probably be bought a bit cheaper at this point) but the PS5 Pro is an incredible £700. That’s a shocking 45% increase in price for reasons that Sony has been completely unable to demonstrate.
That reveal trailer would be funny if it wasn’t so ridiculous, with two versions of what se.
