Where Is PS5 Pro? - Next-Gen Console Watch

Welcome back to Next-gen Console Watch, our show following everything happening with the latest gaming hardware. This week: Where is PlayStation 5 Pro? It's been rumored for ages, specs have leaked, and this is about the time in a PlayStation's lifecycle when Sony usually refreshes the hardware. Let's discuss.

[@kenshin391]

Imagine asking where is the PS5 Pro instead of asking *WHERE ARE THE GAMES* 👀👀👀

If the Pro was 100% able to run PS3 games - then I'd be interested. If it's just a PS5 but at slightly better fidelity, then I'd just wait for the PS6.

Honestly man, for SEVERAL generations, Backcompat has been a DEAD/BROKEN aspect of gaming that just isn't necessary anymore.

They didn't create a rumor vs dev kits leaked then actual specs leaked. Sony just doesn't have anything coming this year that justifies the launch of a Pro console.

They may have just maxed out the specs. They’re at the top of the sigmoid curve when it comes to showing your average consumer what the difference between a ps5 and a ps5 pro are. Even Apple’s annual showcases are increasingly about educating consumers of what’s under the hood and what the technobabble means. This tech has slowed to a crawl and it’s all incremental now compared to past generations where you could beef up a model and people would notice or hunger for it.

@@mosdefinitelynot that wasn’t the PS5’s fault. That was purely poor optimization of the game. Have you ever once played any of these games and even heard any of the internal fan fans kick on? The only time I’ve ever heard mine kick on briefly is when a game locked up on me and then crashed. A game running poorly is more often times than not the game itself causing the issues and not that the hardware is struggling to run it. Even when true next gen start releasing the current PS5 will be able to handle them without any issues. If a game is running at 720p it’s because the game was designed poorly and poorly optimized. The PS5 is strong enough and could support and run Cyberpunk 2077 in 8k.
