Dexterryu Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 I think the big difference that Sony seems to be missing (and overestimating appeal) is that the majority of the games out there run great on PS5. So until there is a noticeable and tangible difference then why would most people upgrade. Load times are already fantastic, frame rate has rarely been a problem and games look great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because the cross-gen period was longer. Now that we're into the midgen, the cracks are definitely showing. FS2 just isn't good enough for console resolution targets. UE5 is still plenty heavy. etc. There's a reason for it to exist. The big difference between it and the PS4 Pro is that they couldn't make it the same price as the initial launch model's MSRP. And compared to PC, instead of beating Team Green to the punch again, they're 4 years late to the party with its AI upscaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DPCyric Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 I'm not even whelmed... there was rumors of playing non-VR PS5 games in VR on the Pro that would have me somewhat interested but damn this gen just is kinda lame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same reason why Nintendo charges full price for their family friendly games while the AAA industry can’t seem to make full price stick. This is why competition in the console business is needed.

Dre801 Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 MS is asking 600 for a Series X with an extra terabyte and a new color. If Sony were asking 600 for the PS5 Pro, they could poke fun at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Console has only really made ground eating arcades and have since ceded ground to everything else. Modern society has given up on physical third places, online makes the case. So the best environment would be one without a fucking monthly fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has very little bearing on the console war, whatever that even is anymore, with MS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spawn_of_Apathy Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 The only way this becomes a win for MS is, well I guess if Sony at the same time stopped shipping and selling non-pro PS5s. This looks dumb, but it is also purely optional to play games this generation that will still get a performance mode on PS5. not even a surprise Xbox Series XX with better specs than the PS5 Pro for $500 would be a win for MS. Gamers are either already committed to Sony’s ecosystem or are just convinced Sony is the way to go for games over MS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoberChef Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 Best tweet I read related to this news came from Destin Legarie: "It was very nice of Playstation to announce they won't have any games this year so we could all save that money & be ready for the PS5 pro, amirite?" I mean, he ain't wrong! Legit, the ONLY way I'd buy this is if either they had announced a new Syphon Filter made by Sony Bend and/or a new TLoU. Since neither of those things happened, I can focus on saving towards a new OLED instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since neither of those things happened, I can focus on saving towards a new OLED instead. This isn't just a PS5 Pro thing, but also a Series X at launch thing. It also was a PS4 Pro thing. And a Xbox One X thing. Sony and Microsoft have a fairly terrible track record as of late pairing new games with hardware. That's not surprising considering how long development time is now. Nintendo meanwhile is signaling they want to do better, opting not to launch Switch 2 until the software to sell it is ready, lest they have another Wii U. But back to Sony, PS5's launch is probably the best we could reasonably hope for from them. A generational one. Not the mid-cycle, which they seem okay to dial in. But who knows, maybe Sony gets some blowback here from this and PSVR2 that gets them to rethink things a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser_Soze Posted September 11 Author Share Posted September 11 I asked my mom to guess the price sight unseen and she guessed it would be $1000. So in that regard $700 is a bargain! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
