The listed price doesn't SEEM too bad with the 2TB model. BUT you have to remember this requires another $200 and tax on top. And this is for USA. Other locations it will be higher priced for people with lower earnings. So yah.
All that and we were expecting a decent +50% uplift, but it seems more like a +40% uplift. And there aren't any great games this generation. The PS4 generation was quiet barren, but we haven't even hit that level yet. Just look back at the early-360 or late-PS3 era.
Because of future forecast, the PS5 Pro looks decent, since the PS6 is being delayed. But it is hard to recommend people to upgrade. Maybe if this was $600 with the Disc Slot and Taxes it would have been fine, even if it had a 1TB Drive. But no, I am not recommending this yet.
It is still actually MORE expensive to build a Gaming PC, you can thank AMD and Nvidia for that. Around double the price. But that gets you so much more, it is the wiser choice in the long run.

I have PS5 and don't want to get the Pro one with a specific reason that's the games will be exactly the same. Instead, I am upgrading my PC and wait for the PS6.
If you don't have a PS5 or gaming PC yet, the Pro one may be good for you.

They are either timed exclusives or multi-platform from the start. Xbox games are on PC day one and even Sony has started realising PlayStation exclusives on PC.

Wow, Sony really outdid themselves with this system. I almost wish I had a PlayStation, now.
*Almost.* I don't really need it, since I have two Nintendo Switches and a Steam Deck, but it's kinda cool sounding. Better than that green console... 🙄

DomtheCuber, 11 Sep 2024Still has less games than a $200 Switch LiteYou mean the same Nintendo Switch that has been re-releasing old games from Nintendo Wii, Wii U and Nintendo DS for the past 6 years? And then on its 7th year, they finally started to release ACTUAL NEW games? THAT Nintendo? Nintendo fans are ok with it but somehow Sony fans are not ok with it?

As you can see difference between performance setting vs PS5 pro is very low and that too when zoom and not in motion , in motion spotting differences would be very low , but still it you don't have PS5 than i recommend to buy PS5 because difference in graphics is very minimal

namzap, 11 Sep 2024$700 for a pc with 3080??? what??Or at least 3070
Like i deem wrote but you still need to pick on the post without reading to the end just to pick on
And it's at least 850 euro for the PS5 Pro with CD drive.
Something like 3070ti you can get for 500 already and then go with something Ryzon 5 and cheap motherboard. Comes to around 900 euro.

GAMIR3DH, 11 Sep 2024Many casual gamers will buy this rather than the PC for one... moreThis is why I moved my gaming from PC to console. I was an avid PC gamer, tweaking drivers and settings just to get an extra fps all thetime. After a while, getting tired of that as I just want to play the game at reasonable performance without having to worry about upgrading my GPU or updating my drivers everytime a new game is released.

Consoles used to make sense when you couldn’t get the same power from a PC for cheaper. At this very high price, plus even more if you want the disk drive you could actually get a decent gaming PC. Plus most games are no longer console exclusive!

What ... moreMany casual gamers will buy this rather than the PC for one simple reason:
"Plug-n-Play"
I mean, they still have to download updates and buy games digitally like in PC but at least they don't need to be a "nerd" to use it 🤣

DomtheCuber, 11 Sep 2024Still has less games than a $200 Switch LiteWanted to say "but the Switch had 3 years more time for games releases"
Then I saw the PS5 has nearly 730 games... yeah, that is not much compared to anything else before after being nearly 4 years on the market (PS5 launched in november of 2020)
