[Tom Warren] The PS5 Pro still hasn’t sold out in the US or UK. Looks like the $700 price point will mean this console will be readily available this holiday

You're viewing a single thread.
- Negligible performance/visual increases.
- Expensive
- PS5 still has NO GAMES
If you buy this thing, congratulations! You are an idiot!
uh what are you even talking about?? It has block-buster console sellers like Concord
Astro Bot.
Bugsnax. mfs dont know what they're talking about smh my head.
We talkin’ ‘bout Bugsnax?
Best psychological horror game in years.
Not quite. You're forgetting about BattleToads
It’s not console exclusive, though
And no drive, so it's not like it only does movies
I can't wait to buy movies from Sony only to have them invalidated a few years from now.
Hey now there's like 2 games.
Not enough to make me buy a PS5 but still
C’mon, PS5 has great PS4 games, like Horizon, God of War, The Last of Us, …
Tap for spoiler

Sony is so out of touch it's actually insane.
I think everyone should ditch consoles too, but I don't understand the "no games" comment, I've played through Elden Ring, Returnal, Final Fantasy 16, Final Fantasy 7 Intergrade, Ratchet & Clank, Gran Turismo 7...
There are clearly games for it, what gives?
There are only like 2 or 3 games that can only be played on a PS5 and nowhere else. Exclusives are one of, if not the most important part of getting a console, IMO. Like, why would I get this specific console if I could get any console or a PC and play the same games? I'm either going to get what's cheapest or go full bells and whistles and build a beefy PC.
Most of the PS5's exclusive games are actually just PS4 games and don't even have the enhancement features offered by the PS5's hardware. If you have a PS4, there's really no reason to upgrade to a PS5 unless you really wanna play the Demon Souls remaster or Astro Bot. Out of all the games you mentioned, only GT7 (and Retrograde tho I don't know if that is timed or completely exclusive; they pulled some fucky-wucky with that one) is exclusive. All the others are multiplatform.
That's also why the PS5 Pro is just dumb. There's not much taking advantage of the current hardware, and they wanna sell you more hardware to go underutilized ?
All that stuff about exclusive games just sounds like sunk cost fallacy. I don't understand how a consumer benefits in any way from exclusive titles, or how a consumer is harmed from having access to multiplatform games.
If someone gets a PS5 for a PS5 exclusive game, why wouldn't they want the option to play other games on there as well?
I do ultimately agree with you though, the PS5 Pro is dumb - and neither the regular PS5 nor any Xbox seems worthwhile compared to PC gaming
It's gotta have some reason to buy it. If it's not the price, and it's not the power, it's the library. Sunk costs don't even come into play for someone who is looking to get a game machine trying to decide what to buy.
