As a former playstation fan, sony doesnt care about us anymore only the numbers in your bank account. Its time to give up and support xbox or something

​@@djpwrcPC really is the way to go. Yes its expensive but you don't have to pay for online play and it gets access to xbox and playstation exclusives (even if it is usually well after the game releases)

[@joshuacovingtonburt]

Just buy a PC. Microsoft already puts all of their games on Steam and Sony is starting to do the same (but requires a PSN account).

[@shawziiz5031]

​@@djpwrcThe answer is PC. Nah not Xbox, that just the same shit. Heck they do this shitty stuff first. Same with Nintendo. PC is the right choice. Emulator and piracy go brrrr.

Lol. If it was a new Nvidia GPU I'd say that's amazing (considering the past few years). For a console though? That's rough.

[@DuSeun]

​@bigmiki2620 45% faster rendering is substantial on paper, but in reality it probably won't matter. Current games already run fine at 60fps with dynamic reskution, and to run native 4k@60fps or 120fps you need a lot more than that. The differences might be noticeable in a side by side, but if you already own a ps5 it's not worth it

[@lyconxero457]

Honestly, the biggest problem I have with the PS5 Pro right now is that I simply don't play my current PS5 enough to justify the purchase. I used to consider myself a heavy user but recently I even let my PS Plus membership slip because I wasn't even turning on my PS5 anymore. In the end, it's the games that sell the hardware and the only good thing going for this new console is that it still has 4 years of possible banger games to peak people's interest before the PS6 makes it irrelevant.

There is a phenomenon called inflation. Video games were bound to get a price hike eventually. One new component from a PC is more expensive.

The irony of using "BIGGEST CHANGES" for a video of one of the smallest mid-generation upgrades ever

[@1_underthesun]

The real problem is the slow release cycle for games these days. I don't play on console, so I'm sure there's one or two games I'm not aware of (although I follow gaming pretty close), but more and more time is going by every day between decent game launches. Granted that's subjective...I'm sure there's someone out there who thinks Star Wars Outlaws is the game of the generation and thus counts as a quality release, but imo, even compared to the PS4 era where generational games were coming out on a pretty regular basis, the PS5 seems to be lagging way behind its predecessor.

[@maidoll_fei]

The reason is, if the PS5 Pro is priced at $700 USD (or $850 USD in Japan), the PS6 will probably be even more expensive, right? Also, in some regions, before the announcement of the PS5 Pro, the price of PS5 and its accessories increased significantly by 15-20%.

let's be clear: customers are responsible for the price increase. They've shown time and time again that they're ready to spend 1000++ to scalpers to get a PS5. They also shown that they're ready to pay 120$ to play a stupid game 3 days "early" or spend 60+ bucks on an horse skin all of that while spending 1300+ every year on a new version of the same phone and making the 4090 at nearly 2000 bucks the most sought after graphic card in the market being constantly out of stock.. At this point if you're a big company trying to make money, 800€ without a freaking plastic bit to keep the console upright seems like a freaking bargain price.

Because let's be honest, the really, really good games have been released these past years can be counted on a single hand. And we all have a huge backlog of games still to play.
