The PlayStation 4 released using old Laptop hardware just like the switch did so the price can remain very low. This is why those consoles were so Under powered and the switch remains under powered. The PS5 while not being current was much closer to current standards Then the PlayStation 4. The PlayStation 5 pro is using Some technology that isn't even released yet by AMD. Just do a little bit of homework To see these things. The price is still very high and only for the enthusiast but it does look like Sony just refuses to take a big loss as their goal with this system.

There is no official definition of what a PS5 Pro enhanced game is. So we may see some devs offer a PS5 Pro fidelity mode. That is 30FPS and has even more ray tracing and graphical effects than the standard PS5 version. Devs are just going to offer what they think is cool and will help sell copies

Im not defending the price of the pro, specially because if this is the machine for the enthusiast, it should have the discdrive and the stand included but, at least this time, contrair to the launch of PS3, we have an option not to buy the pro and just get the normal PS5 that still is a high power machine and you will play all games with not that less grafics performance.

Typically when a business is launching new technology products, they will build and price to a specific target profit margin per unit.
