      I’m a PC gamer and have a PS5, I won’t be buying this anytime soon-if at all.
      However, if I wasn’t a PC gamer, I can see the value in the extra power, if it does what it needs to do. A.K.A Fidelity mode at a steady 60fps. In that case I’d buy it.
      However if they go disc-less with the PS6, I won’t be buying it until they rectify that at little to no additional cost and work-if at all.
      If enough of us do that we can change the market direction just like we have done with EV cars.

    The PS4 Pro sold somewhere around 15 million units, close to 12% of the total sales of the PS4 and when it was released, it "took" the price that the base PS4 had on the shelfs (and the PS4 got a permanent reduction) and on the other hand, it was almost doubling the power and targeting 4K gaming and the difference in performance was quite obvious. To sell the PS5 Pro, they put Mark Cerny on a 9 minute tech dive and he gave us stills from 4-year-old games that you had to zoom in x5 to see the difference. If the analysts in question estimate that PS5 Pro will sell the same as the PS4 Pro that had all the momentum and objective conditions in its favor, I don't know what they are smoking…

      Like no. Upscaling is literally missing the forest for the trees. We don't need upscaling, we need devs to reel back that graphics scope creep. Like we can't keep chasing graphics to this extreme, it is the actual problem. We could have a machine capable of 8k 144fps and devs will still push graphics until it runs at 8k 30fps or 8k 60+ but with fsr slapped on it.

      It's all because they have 4 years of market awareness and they know that they outsell the Xbox brand 3 to 1.

    Normal dualsense controller and not even the fancy Edge one (The normal dualsense price also has been increased by $5 since two days ago btw)

    It's strange to me that everyone complains about the price and the lack of a disc drive, but no one about the poor performance. The PS4 Pro has about a +150% (almost 2.5x) GPU performance increase over the standard PS4. Xbox One X performance was +390% (almost 5x) over the base version. The PS5 Pro has +67% GPU performance, which means it will be capable of about 17 TFlops of computing power. Early rumours suggested 33 TFlops, so it's no wonder there's no noticeable difference between the two in the comparison video. I think price is the less important issue here. Even if it were $600 with a disk drive, it wouldn't be worth it, because it can't be called a "Pro" model, imho.

    While this won't make it much better, it's important to remember the EU regulations state the consumer must see the price they will pay at the end for any product or service (something similar applies to the UK and JPN). This is different from the US where products and services are presented without tax. Taking this into account, we get a more down to earth comparison:
    USD 700 (Not including tax)
    GBP 583.33 (not including VAT 20%)
    EUR 666.66 (not including VAT 20%) (note that this varies by country, but ranged from 19 to 23% aprox.)
    JPY 109,090.90 (not including VAT 10%)
    Converting all these to USD (today), we end up with these prices:
    USA: USD 700
    UK: USD 763.50
    EU: USD 735.72
    JPN: USD 768.74
    So yes, the PS5 professional pricing is slightly more expensive outside the US, but not by that much, fortunately.
    (Then we remember some states don't have sales tax in the USA, and most don't even reach 9%... but Sony has no say here.)

      @ClaudioCrener 4 месяца назад +1

      @@BlackPaperMoon18 The UK and the EU establish that all pricing must be the final price the general consumer will end up paying when making the purchase, as such, it must include VAT. At the same time, this is never notified in any way. This last part is different from Japan because of a change in their law around 4 years ago which adopted the EU and UK system of having the final price displayed with the vat included, with the small difference being that because of the recent change, most pricing has the "tax included" text displayed next to the price number. This is not mandatory, but is a general practice that stems from the fact the change is recent, thus making sure people are aware of the vat being included.
      And there you have it, that's why the text is only under the JP pricing and not under the UK or EU one.
      As for US pricing, their entire system is different, with each state taking that tax money instead of the country itself. This inevitably makes it hard to display a final price with tax for the entire populace, thus prices are displayed without tax. Keep in mind this is a pretty rough explanation, so take it with a grain of salt, but the result is as we see, prices without tax added.
      As for the EU, unlike what coliander4180 says, prices MUST include VAT, this is by law. While a business can certainly have different prices for different EU countries that have different VAT %, most larger ones will have the same price on all EU territories. It might appear Sony would have to swallow the difference in territories where the VAT is higher, but don't worry, they certainly make sure it's the consumer that takes the hit. Though, in this case, we seem to have been somewhat spared, with Japan, ironically, getting the biggest slap.

    Great point about PC Gaming. I have owned gaming consoles, and an old gaming PC with a 6700k and EVGA GTX1080ti. I played the Black Ops 6 beta on my PC, and it ran smooth as butter. PC gaming offers so much value, with the ability to upgrade easily, utilise more powerful components than consoles, and purchase games for peanuts, on platforms like the Steam sales etc.
    The only negative for PC gaming, is the image of all PC gamers being hackers, and how some AAA developers exclude so game features from the PC version of their games. For example, EA don’t include PC gamers to use the crossplay transfer market in their FIFA/EA FC games.
    I personally think the PC is the future of gaming.

Plus the liberty on components, the variability in prices and the ever constant longevity of such components. I mean I7 CPUs from 10 years ago can still run modern titles at good speed and with the advent of FSR and DLSS (among others) framerate is not a bottleneck anymore.
      While I do understand that from a Console player perspective, PC looks way too complicated, the fact is that such complication is minimal if they care enough to get involved and profit from a thousand mile line of benefits along the ride, from prices, configurations, unofficial patches from the communities and of course, the mods.
