@@felixdaniels37This. Consoles are generally sold at a loss that is made up for later via game sales and subscriptions like PSN, XBL, and NSO. A sold console doesn't make any money if nothing is played on it. I don't know for sure if the PS5 Pro is being sold at a loss like the base system was, but if they're cutting out things as simple as the disk drive and a freaking plastic stand, I somehow doubt there'd be that much of a margin even if that wasn't the case.
@@BrandonWhatTheF As someone who was looking into upgrading my 7y old Sony phone, I thought their newest models would be decent enough. In reality, their newest phones were actually worse in many aspects than my ancient 7y old phone. Worse/lacking features and buggy/laggy OS.
It's honestly the most shocking part to me. 700$ sounds reasonable compared to 700£ or 800€ Unless I have missed something big with the currency rates, it truly feels like the EU and UK consumers are getting squeezed extra hard on this one. You can legitimately buy some pre built PC for the same price that are at least of similar capabilities whilst having all of the extra advantages of being a PC. Normally one of the biggest advantage of a console vs a PC is that it's much cheaper whilst being convenient (a good PC can be cheaper but it would be a lot less convenient), so in these regions in particular, the reasons to get this instead of a PC are going to be particularly slim (notably as Sony has been releasing their exclusives on PC as well recently). I really don't see it ending well
These are economic analysts, is likely the issue. Videogames aren't in their wheelhouse and somehow they think this is the same as predicting how many toasters a company will sell and not infinitely more complicated than that.
that's exactly why I don't play console. I can play online for free on PC (and I can play a wider variety of games), no way in hell am I paying to play online for a game I also have to pay full price for.
Nintendo was watching that PS5 pro reveal knowing that they're going to make bank on their next underpowered tablet. At least they always have quality exclusives in the pipeline.
"Switch 2" probably will be $499, for a console around 15% less powerful than the Steam Deck (according to rumors and by estimates made during private demonstrations). That's a terrible value, but it will sell well only because Nintendo games. A Steam Deck 2 with a $499 price but 15% less powerful than a PS5 will be OP when it launch. There is a good possibility thar Valve will take a lot of Sony and Nintendo Market.
@@marcus3445Ultimately the value is not in the performance of the hardware versus the price, but in the experience and enjoyment of the games played on it. Which is why the Switch is massively successful despite running a phone processor from 7 years ago, and why the PS5 Pro is doomed to fail. The PS5 Pro will offer essentially no additional gameplay value or enjoyment over the current PS5, while the switch 2 is likely to have many great exclusive games
At least the PS3’s high price can be justified by it being a PS1, PS2, DVD Player, Blu-Ray Player, and an entire new console for a new generation. The PS5 Pro, a mid-generation “upgrade,” doesn’t even have a disc drive (or vertical stand) by default…
@@meevil24It did! And better still, it had actual PS2 hardware at first, which allowed it to run PS2 games perfectly without any emulation problems. They soon removed that, though, to cut down on costs.
saw a really funny argument about how if you just get a 1400$ PC and pirate 10 or more AAA games, you've recouped the cost of buying a PS5 and all the titles that are worth playing on it. The rest of that debate was whether or not there _are_ 10 games on the PS5 worth playing. The list of titles that are on the PS5 is actually pretty big, but the takeaway is that with what must genuinely be less than 10 exceptions, all of them can be played on PC (for free, as the argument demands).
I'll never even consider getting a console until Xbox Live, PS+ and Switch Online are all dead and buried. You should not charge even more money to use the internet you're paying for on the game you paid for on the console you paid for. Absolute bullshit.
Another thing to note: when the PS4 pro released, it assumed the price of the PS4 on release. By this time the PS4 was 100$ cheaper than on release. But the PS5 has actually increased in price! The price in euros is actually 50 more now!
The PS4 pro was great for me, since the system had enough games I was interested in by that point, it felt like a bonus for waiting. I'd never seen games in 4K HDR before. The PS5 pro just kind of stings since the base model has been raised in price whilst the games have some terrible moore's law compensation going on
@@cloudycolacorp so you ignore the fact the ps4 pro had fan problems throughout that gen? so you also ignore the fact that its not able to do 4k hdr. that was marketing hype for the ps4 pro on sony. another lie they tend to pull. also we have ps4 emulation now. this comment seemed to have aged like milk some. so yea..oof
@@cooleyYT Yeah, it wasn't exactly the best, but it was enough of an upgrade that it was worth it for me. I didn't get the fan problems, but I know not everyone was that fortunate
@@cloudycolacorp its barely an upgrade. wdym. also yes. not everyone can afford it especially if out of the us. so to act like you're the one and only exception is a disgrace
As someone in another comment section said. The ps5 pro is more of a ploy to condition us to pay 700 for a console. So when ps6 is 700 or 800 bucks ppl will be okay with it.
That's fine, because Sony will stop making remakes no one asked for, games will be finished and won't be $70+, online will be free, controllers won't experience stick drift in their first year... Right? ... Right? 🤦

Masquerade as political, financial and economic advisers to carry out our mandates with Diplomacy and without fear of exposing “the secret power behind national and international affairs.” 20. Ultimate world government is the goal. *It will be necessary to establish huge monopolies,* so even the largest fortunes of the Goyim will depend on us to such an extent that they will go to the bottom together with the credit of their governments on the day after the great political smash.” Why create huge monopolies? I'm sure you have heard the saying, "The bigger they are, the harder they fall". What happens when the country controlling the monopolies collapses? What system will rise out of the ashes of fallen Capitalism? 13. Make the masses believe they had been the prey of criminals. Then restore order to appear as the saviors. If that nation controlling the monopolies is seen as the criminals preying on the masses, will the masses care if that nation falls? What nation was born three years after this was all written? Hegelian Dialectic: Create a problem. Have the masses react to the problem. Offer the predetermined solution. 22. “Make the 'Goyim' destroy each other so there will only be the proletariat left in the world, with a few millionaires devoted to our cause, and sufficient police and soldiers to protect our interest.” 23.

@@TheAvizanski - I think they're suggesting that there's no real advantage to playing on PlayStation if the same games are available on superior platforms, ideally PC.
What gets me is Sony somehow doesn't realize that by doing this they are showing their WHOLE ass to everyone, shareholders included. They've been STRUGGLING.. it's been one huge failure after another, primarily with these hyper expensive live services that by all rights they should've stopped years ago and yet they doubled down. Concord is fresh in everyone's mind and it was inevitable to anyone paying attention. Are they THAT strapped for cash? That's what they're communicating with this price. It's embarrassing.
I think no matter what they were committed to releasing the PS5 Pro due to their manufacturing pipeline. What they shouldn’t have done was release Concord to begin with.
Most kids seem content with playing games on their phones or are playing stuff like Fortnite that still works fine on a PS4. The demographic for consoles keeps getting older and that older demographic has less disposable income than it used to.
@@JosephJohns-xi1qb People keep acting like it's not competing. And while it isn't trying to go fight with Xbox and Playstation, it's still competing by just doing it's own thing and not worrying about them. Not to mention has plenty of exclusives to justify purchasing a Nintendo console.
@RobertK1993 While xbox and playstation were having a dick measuring contest on who can make the biggest powerhouse in gaming, nintendo kept in their lane and became the defacto secondary. Because of the consistency with their exclusives, a large number of people own a primary AND a switch, if they don't just main it outright. You don't hear about it because everyone's so fixated on fidelity and framerate, but there's a reason the switch was the third highest selling console of all time.
PS5 is also already underselling. It's NOT doing well already. It's only just now barely outsold the Switch on a quarterly basis. This while the Switch is twice as old and already sold 143 million units. And it's JUST barely outselling the switch. That's just not good whatsoever. I don't understand how anyone sees that as a successful console.
2:28 I'm not sure how 13 million units sold in 5 years could be considered a success. It would be outperformed by the Wii U, one of the biggest failures in gaming, ever.
I am guessing here but I think Xbox is dead - MS just doesn’t show any focus on the unique hardware proposition. It could become a software/OS platform on PCs and there might be PCs that are XBOX verified but i think the console wars are over,
I hope so, because every time Sony gets dominant in the console market, they become pompous pricks. This obviously happened after the PS2 generation, and it's now happening after the PS4 generation. At this point though, Xbox has become far too corporatized and stale. With the XB360, they made multiple revolutionary innovations, but now gaming has become very corporatized and passionless. Even if Xbox released a sub $300 console, it has to sustain it with consistently excellent games, which has obviously not occurred this generation for either company.
I paid $800 for my basic PS5 because my country considers game consoles “luxury items” and they tax it at almost 100%. This fucking thing will be super expensive
1 Timothy 6:7-10 7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 8 And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. 9 But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. Luke 12:15-21 15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. 16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: 17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? 18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. 20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? 21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
I was talking about this earlier, something to keep in mind when considering PC Pricing: You don't pay extra for online services. Like if you bought a PS5 at launch for 500 bucks and have been paying yearly for PS+ just so that you can play games like Helldivers, you've already spent upwards of 800 dollars or more... And the console gen is hardly ending anytime soon. You could be paying upwards of 1k+ for a console when you take into account this cost. Not to mention that like, chances are as a human being living in a society, you already need a basic PC to function. So chances are you'd already be paying several hundred for a PC anyways just for work and emails and such even if you purely play games on console. So if you're thinking about cutting out consoles and only getting a Gaming PC, surely paying a few hundred extra up front is worth it for all the extra features you get in a PC outside of gaming. You're not about to browse the web or do work on a PS5 lol. So like when you really take everything into account, a PC really isn't that much more expensive if at all. And this is all without taking into account the fact that it's pretty easy to get PC games for cheaper than console games one way or another and you have a much larger library of games throughout history that you can play on PC
Alright, cards on the table, nobody's going to need a pro to play GTA 6. Know why? It makes more sense to optimize for the console people already have rather than targeting a more expensive console that it's guaranteed less people will have. Rockstar is not going to cut off a significant portion of its audience and income for Spectral Super Resolution, whatever the hell that is.
Are you arguing against a PS5 Pro only release? Sony don’t allow that anyway. And PSSR is reportedly trivial to enable even without upgrading the PlayStation SDK that a game targets.
@@user-jh1jt9lo7i Whats funny is that the PS5 Pro isnt much more powerful than the Series X. In fact the Series X is more powerful than the base PS5. That is literally a fact. Microsoft doesnt need a mid refresh. Its fine how it is. My Series X still blows me away 1 year later on my 4k TV and 4k HDR is more than enough for casual gaming. If anything I would argue the Series S is probably the best deal in gaming. I got one for $190 on sale. Beat the shit out of it and it played games just as good. 👍
My wife picked up a free old desktop that her work was going to throw away and for $250 in used parts from ebay I was able to upgrade it enough that it can run Hogwarts Legacy at 60fps on high graphic settings at 1080p.... and it came with a disk drive! She is very happy with it. Desktops for life!
Sure thing: it was an old Dell Optiplex 7010. I replaced the CPU with a i7-3770 ($35), stuck in a 512gb patriot SSD ($35), replaced RAM with 16gb DDR3-1600MHz (2x8 so have the option upgrade to 32 in future as MB has 4 slots - $20), replaced PSU with 550W ($40). The hard part was adding a XFX Radeon RX580 GTR Edition ($50), which required ripping out the harddrive cage using a combo of drill and chisel because the GPU was too long. Also had to disable the front USB because the input on the MB was under the GPU. I would maybe recommend buying a more compact GPU if you were to retry, but I already had the RX580 in stock from an old build so wanted to use that. Then there was monitor ($20 used), keyboard, mouse, and speakers (about $50, probably less used). I got everything from either ebay or local reuse store. I am very happy because it is also smaller then my main desktop, and I wanted a desktop that I could fit in a suitcase when I go work remote from my parents cabin in the woods sometimes. Happy building!
There's Astro Bot, Stellar Blade, and I don't know if there are more games that I couldn't mention. The lack of exclusives and games is the PS5's problem this generation.
I built my current PC, with all new parts about 3 years ago for about $1500. The one it replaced could play any game at ultra settings in 4K at 60 fps without breaking a sweat. Consoles are a joke.
I built my PC about 10 years ago using top-shelf parts at about $2500. 32GB ram, GTX 1080 (just dropped at the time), multiple terabytes of m.2 SSDs and an i7-6700K. It still eats games for breakfast. I don't play many newer titles but even those run quite well for me and it still multitasks like a beast. I'm even VR ready if I ever decide to get a headset. Building my PC was the best gaming investment ever. I went from midrange $700 laptops every 2 years that would sweat at even modest games, to never having to worry about system requirements again. I'm getting close to considering a rebuild since the CPU is starting to show some age, but with how bland modern AAA games are, I think I can put off an upgrade for at least a few more years unless some killer app comes out.
The reason why relatively few people have the next gen consoles is because they manufactured them way too slowly. It took almost 2 years for Series X and PS5 to appear on shelves and in that time many people just got a PC.
And a lack of exclusives, if I want to play Nintendo games I need a Switch since the only other option is piracy, while that the PS5 has barely any exclusives so it simply isn't worth buying it over a PC that can play the same games.
The one meaningful upgrade of the thing is left as "unknown" on the chart, making the entire picture useless, unless you really hated the fact that PS5 didn't have 2TB of storage space or that it couldn't output 8K for your 8K TV you totally have to watch a National Geographic Blu-Ray nature documentary in 8K. Would one even need 2TB of storage to have every well rated PS5 exclusive installed at once?
PS3 may have been $599 in 2006 but rent was only $175/mo and meat was $1-2/lb while a full-time job could easily make you $50,000/year. I'm not even that old and it's like a completely different world now. Disposable income has gone out the window and incomes compressed while costs have skyrocketed for hundreds of millions of people. Half of Americans don't have $300 saved for an emergency. The PS5 Pro is for a narrowing demographic of high-earning consumers.
The developers have made a conscious choice to make games that tax the system. They didn't have to, consumers didn't force them into 5+ year development cycles and bleeding edge graphics - they've just convinced themselves that's the only choice, just like with the live services folly. They've gambled people will settle for a choice between 30 and 60 fps, and it's largely worked until now. This is the inevitable consequence however; when consumers are perceived to demand both, the hardware needed scales up and so does the price.
The thing is, the GPU in the PS5 Pro is equivalent to an RX 6800 so you don't even need anywhere close to a $1500 - $2000 build to rival it. For $1500 you can make a 4070 Ti Super/RX 7900 XT build which MASSIVELY outperforms the PS5 Pro.
I think the _just get a PC_ trope is pretty moot, and I say this as a PC gamer. There is a lot to be said about how infinitely more accessible consoles are than PCs. You buy the game, you install the game, you open the game, you play the game. There's no graphics settings to tweak to be best optimised for your build - the developer already did that for you. There's no weird non-standard keybinds to change to your liking - most console games can't change keybinds, and there's so few buttons to bind to anyway. You don't need to buy any special peripherals, you just hook it up to the TV you likely already own and connect the controller included in the box. The audience for videogames is a very broad church and is only getting broader. With the older pre-gaming generations slowly fading out, the widespread appeal of videogames is beginning to catch up to TV and film. Most people do not want to spend time tweaking things, they just want to play the game they paid for. This is one of the reasons why gaming on Linux struggles to gain traction. Console gaming is likely to exist in some form for so long as the gaming industry remains a force to be reckoned with in the commercial entertainment space. I don't think any number of bungled console releases or short-sighted business strategies will cause a mass exodus of console gamers to PC. They're just two entirely difference audiences with little overlap.
Oh, me. In 2019, I built a pretty good PC to run iRacing and various mouse-and-keyboard games on. No regrets, I love it. However, much to my girlfriend's chagrin, it hasn't replaced my consoles for stupid games where I log in and mess around with friends. I enjoy the plug, play, and go experience too damn much knowing the copy of the game I am playing is optimized for my box, and in any competitive setting my opponents are sharing my experience. On the other hand, a few bugs made trying to start BG3 take 6 hours to boot up with both of us looking for solutions online, and that game still runs like garbage any time I enter downtown in Act 3, after another 4 hours of me trying to see what setting has me CPU locked bore no fruit. In the immortal words of Mr. Clarkson, "this (PC) is fantastic, but I prefer this (console)." Does it make me inferior? Probably, but I'm content with it. Still not getting a Pro, though.
Look stop lying you arent a pc gamer it make no sense to complain about having option when 90% of the time you just pick between low mid high ultra the ps 5 has just 2 less option to pick and at a 1000 or more$ you will get a pc where most games will run well on high or ultra and thats it any other option is mostly for pepole that care to min max performance and steam inputs fixes any issue you might have on keybinding or controllers consoles have no excuse they arent even cheaper with how much you will also spent on ps +
The thing with the cost of a PC is that it is only super expensive once. After you build your first PC, you only need to upgrade your GPU moving forward for a long time. And you can get a GPU that performs better than a PS5 pro for $700. And then you get all the other benefits like not paying for online play, bigger sales, more control over the hardware and most important of all, your games will work forever*. Even console exclusives are coming to PC now. I sold my PS4 because I hadn't plugged it in for over 3 years. But it really bothered me that I was going to lose access to all the games I own. Especially Bloodborne. Meanwhile I can still play roller coaster tycon 3 on my pc, a game that I bought TWENTY years ago. The appeal of consoles were always ease of use, low price and exclusive games. 2 of those aren't true anymore.
I don't understand why there are no graphics settings in console games. If Sony knows people prefer fps over pretty graphics, why are the games they publish so unoptimized in the only graphical setting available? You don't even need to have a ton of settings. A simple performance and quality mode toggle would work since the console's hardware is a known quantity for the devs. Set it to quality to get the prettiest visuals 25% of people want and set it to performance for the 120fps that 75% want. I feel like that would be a much better solution. But obviously then they can't bait people into buying a mid gen refresh console
@@seanhartnett79 Because the majority of customers proved themselves to be absolute morons when they fell for the graphics arms-race hype over and over and over and over again.
that simple toggle between framerate and resolution exists and it is how they are getting their "75% prefer framerate" statistic, some games on xbox do that as well, it is not a revolutionary new idea for console
@@es5845 ah ok, I don't own any consoles currently so I just assumed there were no settings. So if you can already do this for better performance then the PS5 Pro has even less of a reason to exist
loot boxes are still better than 30 dollar bundles and game passes that have no real way of obtaining them through playtime. I hate saying it, but loot boxes were better. They are gambling and the only reason they aren't a thing anymore is because the industry was going to get a legal beat down for promoting gambling to kids. I won't forget the "surprise mechanics" they tried to pull in front of congress to attempt to save their rears. It didn't work, and that's why they aren't big anymore. But the children are spending loads of cash on bundles and battle passes. That's the real kicker that those poor souls will eat that $700 price tag.

If there was ever a console gen to move to PC gaming and just buy Nintendo stuff whenever you feel a nostalgia rush to play Mario, Zelda or Pokemon it was this one. Also why can't console manufacturers have two good gens in a row? Seems they forget every leason they learned when they were humbled or disappointed before. Xbox had proved launching two consoles with different specs this gen was not working, no idea why Sony felt like doing this was good 😂
Honestly trouble is we were never ready for 4k. And we still aren't. Look at all the nonsense we have to pull to get decent frame rates at 4k? ai frames? ai upsample?.. !@#$ still can't run at 4k properly with all these tricks, but companies keep selling us new things that "will do it this time for sure" for the last.. 8 years? You can spend $800 for a new console or ps5, or just.. run your things at 1080p and save money and sanity.
So-called "4K" (it's really only 3.84K) is the epitome of diminishing returns for graphics. Four times the work, for a result you need a magnifying glass to actually see. My monitor is half a metre wide. It's 1080p. I can barely see the pixels if I squint as it is. Increasing the resolution would give me no benefit, and a metre-wide screen would be comically huge.
I blame most of this mess on Microsoft. The Series S has been a burden for developers and Game Pass already peaked and is declining. Sony is seeing their competition destroy itself and they're taking as much money as they can get. I don't think Sony expects it to sell well just condition the market to higher console prices and let regular PS5 sales pick up the slack by being a "better deal".
Anyone who would get a "pro" console at all would surely be willing to pay for this price. Hence why they think it will be a success. And as you said, people were willing to pay this price from scalpers for the regular version. It probably won't get a wide audience but it doesn't need one. Its meant to milk people of the last drops before the next gen comes around. And console players aren't evolved enough to understand how to order a premade PC.
@@LSSTmusic Yes I had to straighten everyone else out after seeing that. Reminder that console players: -Pay for multiplayer with subscriptions. -Have ads on their home screens. -Support platforms that are heavily censorious. -Buy up paid mods.

Despite Nintendo being a different market, I have to wonder if this reality will push more people over into Nintendo's ecosystem. And as for Xbox, they could probably pull a miracle out their butts if they kept their heads down and focused on what their next console is gonna be. Hell, maybe Xbox should just become a brand of gaming PCs to capture the market of "if I'm gonna spend $700 on a console, may as well get a PC" that you mentioned. Sony is clearly going to be self-destructive this and next generation.
When there's a product that comes out that is too expensive and more restrictive but easier to use, I call the extra amount people pay the idiot consumer tax. And when there's a preexisting audience with brand loyalty, the tax usually fails to persuade most people to change their buying decision.
My biggest issue is that as they are pushing for digital-only games, that means they are charging $70 for a game that requires no physical manufacturing, not having a distributor cut into their costs... and they'll exclusively control the market. I can get a copy of NBA 2K24 at GameStop for $18.99, but I have to pay full price on the digital shop. 😭
ps5 pro is like trying to sell the same painting to the same people by saying that the new one has a small dot of new color. The worst thing is there are people who will buy it because they worship sony like a god who makes no mistakes
It's actually nothing like that and getting it has nothing to do with worship. I like FFVII Rebirth and Rebirth is an action game that you want to play at 60fps but when you set graphics to max the game actually looks a lot better but runs at 30fps. 10 days ago I bought my brother a ps5 and that cost 600 after tax. I find it very worth it to get to put a little extra money for what is essentially twice the performance. If the console is so pointless because of games or the difference don't buy it.

I'm willing to bet (esp with the rumors that it can run ps5 games) they planned for this to compete with the Switch 2...which has now been delayed into 2025.
guys, listen. You don't have to buy it. It's an option for those people whining about not having 60 or more fps with 4k/8k and maximum raytracing all at the same time. As this video said, the games will only look slightly better, so you're not missing out on anything. Don't act like this is the PS6 and you need to get it to play any new games. It's not and you don't. If you want more storage space, the original PS5 and PS5 slim can be upgraded with another internal NVMe SSD or an external drive. And I don't see your problem with it's lack of a disc drive. you have access to all the games for PlayStation 4 and 5 through the built in playstation games store. You can have any game on your system within minutes on a decent internet connection and maybe hours on a slow connection with larger games, but it's better than driving to a store to choose from a selection of a few dozen games they happen to have in stock.
Sony I'm getting pissed, 700 bucks I payed for this. Playstation has no frickin games! Now I know your feeling crunched, Cause Nintendo ate your lunch. Playstation has no frickin games! Haptic is fine and good when there's good stuff to play, Instead I'm playing Astrobot 3000 times a day! Games feel so lame and thick, Cause my controller always drifts. Playstation, no Hall Sticks is so lame! Its hard for gamers not to hate, 700 dollar paperweights, Playstation has no frickin games!
If the ps5 would've been easily available since day 1, yes a new ps5 pro might be a good idea at this time, but pulling this when it took most people around three years to get the hands on the console and not really having a reason to upgrade, it is greedy and dumb.
I dont see people talk about this much but I think one of the big reason they charge this much is because Xbox giving up on the console war. Sony pretty much monopolize high-end console now. Nintendo is never gonna challenge them, they want separate market anyway. I think if Microsoft is still in the game they would not dare to charge this much.
This was stupid timing for Sony to try and pull something like this. When basic necessities are considered too expensive, entertainment is always one of the first things people cut from their budgets. "You can't eat a TV." - Anonymous woman to a reporter during the great recession
Sony literally does this every other generation... lol. It started with the ps2. They have a genuinely amazing console, they have success with it, they get cocky and start over charging, they have a bad generation, they have to regain their lost ground...... rinse and repeat ps3? Bad. Ps4? Goated. Ps5? Bad. Ps6.....????
Between the ludicrous price, lack of a disc drive, and continued drought of top tier games, I'm more than content to stick with older consoles and PC. There's no reason to buy a PS5 Pro and the same arguably applies to the Xbox Series X due to Microsoft's continued failings.

There is 3 options : 1) If you already have a PS5: you don't need the pro, just buy if you're an enthusiasts and want the best of the best(on playstation) 2) If you don't have a PS5: the PS5 pro might be worth it for you and the standard Ps5 is still available in case you're on a budget and it will get the same exact games. 3) If think a PC is better for the price: then buy a fucking PC (don't need to cry bout it online).

1:08 That PS3 also had PS2 BC, and was cheaper than an actual blu-ray player, which it was, on top of playing PS3 games. Pretty sure even base PS5 is more expensive than a 4K player. Heck, they’re still selling normal DVD’s (standard definition).
The actors at 12:03 have no idea what they're doing. It's sad that in this day and age, stock footage creators can't even seem to approximate being able to play games.
If anything we should have learned from the game industry for the past 20 years, it should be "All of your worst fears are going to be true, and worse." PlayStation is testing the waters to increase profit margins, and they will become a monopoly.
The lack of competition argument is an excellent point. If Xbox isn't challenging the space where else can you go? Oh you dont want to go PC route? Okay then cough up 800 bucks for the PS6.
this is how things always start, they say and do something outrageous and then choose whether to back peddle and how much to back peddle based on the reaction, but never completely, all so they push the line forward. we have witnessed this very thing occur over the past two decades already.

700$ sounds reasonable compared to 700£ or 800€
Unless I have missed something big with the currency rates, it truly feels like the EU and UK consumers are getting squeezed extra hard on this one. You can legitimately buy some pre built PC for the same price that are at least of similar capabilities whilst having all of the extra advantages of being a PC. Normally one of the biggest advantage of a console vs a PC is that it's much cheaper whilst being convenient (a good PC can be cheaper but it would be a lot less convenient), so in these regions in particular, the reasons to get this instead of a PC are going to be particularly slim (notably as Sony has been releasing their exclusives on PC as well recently).

17. Use systematic deception, high-sounding phrases and popular slogans. “The opposite of what has been promised can always be done afterwards... That is of no consequence.”
19. Masquerade as political, financial and economic advisers to carry out our mandates with Diplomacy and without fear of exposing “the secret power behind national and international affairs.”
20. Ultimate world government is the goal. *It will be necessary to establish huge monopolies,* so even the largest fortunes of the Goyim will depend on us to such an extent that they will go to the bottom together with the credit of their governments on the day after the great political smash.”
Why create huge monopolies? I'm sure you have heard the saying, "The bigger they are, the harder they fall".
What happens when the country controlling the monopolies collapses?
What system will rise out of the ashes of fallen Capitalism?
13. Make the masses believe they had been the prey of criminals. Then restore order to appear as the saviors.
If that nation controlling the monopolies is seen as the criminals preying on the masses, will the masses care if that nation falls?
What nation was born three years after this was all written?
Hegelian Dialectic: Create a problem. Have the masses react to the problem. Offer the predetermined solution.
22. “Make the 'Goyim' destroy each other so there will only be the proletariat left in the world, with a few millionaires devoted to our cause, and sufficient police and soldiers to protect our interest.”

I was talking about this earlier, something to keep in mind when considering PC Pricing: You don't pay extra for online services. Like if you bought a PS5 at launch for 500 bucks and have been paying yearly for PS+ just so that you can play games like Helldivers, you've already spent upwards of 800 dollars or more... And the console gen is hardly ending anytime soon. You could be paying upwards of 1k+ for a console when you take into account this cost.
Not to mention that like, chances are as a human being living in a society, you already need a basic PC to function. So chances are you'd already be paying several hundred for a PC anyways just for work and emails and such even if you purely play games on console. So if you're thinking about cutting out consoles and only getting a Gaming PC, surely paying a few hundred extra up front is worth it for all the extra features you get in a PC outside of gaming. You're not about to browse the web or do work on a PS5 lol.
So like when you really take everything into account, a PC really isn't that much more expensive if at all. And this is all without taking into account the fact that it's pretty easy to get PC games for cheaper than console games one way or another and you have a much larger library of games throughout history that you can play on PC
Alright, cards on the table, nobody's going to need a pro to play GTA 6. Know why? It makes more sense to optimize for the console people already have rather than targeting a more expensive console that it's guaranteed less people will have. Rockstar is not going to cut off a significant portion of its audience and income for Spectral Super Resolution, whatever the hell that is.

Do you mind telling us the specs of that pc? Sounds like a really good deal
Sure thing: it was an old Dell Optiplex 7010. I replaced the CPU with a i7-3770 ($35), stuck in a 512gb patriot SSD ($35), replaced RAM with 16gb DDR3-1600MHz (2x8 so have the option upgrade to 32 in future as MB has 4 slots - $20), replaced PSU with 550W ($40). The hard part was adding a XFX Radeon RX580 GTR Edition ($50), which required ripping out the harddrive cage using a combo of drill and chisel because the GPU was too long. Also had to disable the front USB because the input on the MB was under the GPU. I would maybe recommend buying a more compact GPU if you were to retry, but I already had the RX580 in stock from an old build so wanted to use that. Then there was monitor ($20 used), keyboard, mouse, and speakers (about $50, probably less used). I got everything from either ebay or local reuse store.
I am very happy because it is also smaller then my main desktop, and I wanted a desktop that I could fit in a suitcase when I go work remote from my parents cabin in the woods sometimes.
Happy building!
@@voodoo208 thanks man, good job on the build :)
PC for life i'm sick of consoles
700 dollars no games machine
The menu is gonna be smooth as fuck I tell ya
And the controllers still suck
The PS5 Pro could be the steal of the decade, it doesn’t change the fact that there’s a very few games (there’s nothing) to play on it.
touch grass
There's Astro Bot, Stellar Blade, and I don't know if there are more games that I couldn't mention.
The lack of exclusives and games is the PS5's problem this generation.

I built my current PC, with all new parts about 3 years ago for about $1500. The one it replaced could play any game at ultra settings in 4K at 60 fps without breaking a sweat. Consoles are a joke.
I built my PC about 10 years ago using top-shelf parts at about $2500. 32GB ram, GTX 1080 (just dropped at the time), multiple terabytes of m.2 SSDs and an i7-6700K. It still eats games for breakfast. I don't play many newer titles but even those run quite well for me and it still multitasks like a beast. I'm even VR ready if I ever decide to get a headset.
Building my PC was the best gaming investment ever. I went from midrange $700 laptops every 2 years that would sweat at even modest games, to never having to worry about system requirements again. I'm getting close to considering a rebuild since the CPU is starting to show some age, but with how bland modern AAA games are, I think I can put off an upgrade for at least a few more years unless some killer app comes out.
Realistically, you could build a pc that is more powerful than a ps5 pro for 1000$.
The reason why relatively few people have the next gen consoles is because they manufactured them way too slowly. It took almost 2 years for Series X and PS5 to appear on shelves and in that time many people just got a PC.
And a lack of exclusives, if I want to play Nintendo games I need a Switch since the only other option is piracy, while that the PS5 has barely any exclusives so it simply isn't worth buying it over a PC that can play the same games.
It’s basically like the ps5 released in 2022
Still faster than Valve releasing the Steam Deck in Australia. It's still not available here.
Even then there hasn't been a good price drop on the original PS5
Even $450 is a little too steep for a consol

If the PS5 pro sells well then Sony will have proven that their fans will buy anything.
Expect $1000 ps6, $100 base price games, $100 controller, $80 plastic stand. Yep keep support a company that keeps fing u.
0:26 nah, the difference is so small you need to squint to notice
The one meaningful upgrade of the thing is left as "unknown" on the chart, making the entire picture useless, unless you really hated the fact that PS5 didn't have 2TB of storage space or that it couldn't output 8K for your 8K TV you totally have to watch a National Geographic Blu-Ray nature documentary in 8K.
Would one even need 2TB of storage to have every well rated PS5 exclusive installed at once?
@@MidWitPride I think 2TB could be very useful, but buying an extra TB of ssd costs like $50.
PS3 may have been $599 in 2006 but rent was only $175/mo and meat was $1-2/lb while a full-time job could easily make you $50,000/year. I'm not even that old and it's like a completely different world now. Disposable income has gone out the window and incomes compressed while costs have skyrocketed for hundreds of millions of people. Half of Americans don't have $300 saved for an emergency. The PS5 Pro is for a narrowing demographic of high-earning consumers.
The developers have made a conscious choice to make games that tax the system. They didn't have to, consumers didn't force them into 5+ year development cycles and bleeding edge graphics - they've just convinced themselves that's the only choice, just like with the live services folly.
They've gambled people will settle for a choice between 30 and 60 fps, and it's largely worked until now. This is the inevitable consequence however; when consumers are perceived to demand both, the hardware needed scales up and so does the price.
The thing is, the GPU in the PS5 Pro is equivalent to an RX 6800 so you don't even need anywhere close to a $1500 - $2000 build to rival it. For $1500 you can make a 4070 Ti Super/RX 7900 XT build which MASSIVELY outperforms the PS5 Pro.
More like a upgraded Ryzen 6800H It's literally not a upgrade at all
I think the _just get a PC_ trope is pretty moot, and I say this as a PC gamer. There is a lot to be said about how infinitely more accessible consoles are than PCs. You buy the game, you install the game, you open the game, you play the game. There's no graphics settings to tweak to be best optimised for your build - the developer already did that for you. There's no weird non-standard keybinds to change to your liking - most console games can't change keybinds, and there's so few buttons to bind to anyway. You don't need to buy any special peripherals, you just hook it up to the TV you likely already own and connect the controller included in the box.
The audience for videogames is a very broad church and is only getting broader. With the older pre-gaming generations slowly fading out, the widespread appeal of videogames is beginning to catch up to TV and film. Most people do not want to spend time tweaking things, they just want to play the game they paid for. This is one of the reasons why gaming on Linux struggles to gain traction.
Console gaming is likely to exist in some form for so long as the gaming industry remains a force to be reckoned with in the commercial entertainment space. I don't think any number of bungled console releases or short-sighted business strategies will cause a mass exodus of console gamers to PC. They're just two entirely difference audiences with little overlap.
You really say here and wrote a whole ass page. Go touch some grass or get some friends because this is just embarrassing
I have a nice gaming laptop. It kind of auto does the settings for me.
Thank goodness someone finally says this, I’m so tired of PC Elitists
Oh, me.
In 2019, I built a pretty good PC to run iRacing and various mouse-and-keyboard games on. No regrets, I love it. However, much to my girlfriend's chagrin, it hasn't replaced my consoles for stupid games where I log in and mess around with friends. I enjoy the plug, play, and go experience too damn much knowing the copy of the game I am playing is optimized for my box, and in any competitive setting my opponents are sharing my experience.
On the other hand, a few bugs made trying to start BG3 take 6 hours to boot up with both of us looking for solutions online, and that game still runs like garbage any time I enter downtown in Act 3, after another 4 hours of me trying to see what setting has me CPU locked bore no fruit.
In the immortal words of Mr. Clarkson, "this (PC) is fantastic, but I prefer this (console)." Does it make me inferior? Probably, but I'm content with it.
Still not getting a Pro, though.
Look stop lying you arent a pc gamer it make no sense to complain about having option when 90% of the time you just pick between low mid high ultra the ps 5 has just 2 less option to pick and at a 1000 or more$ you will get a pc where most games will run well on high or ultra and thats it any other option is mostly for pepole that care to min max performance and steam inputs fixes any issue you might have on keybinding or controllers consoles have no excuse they arent even cheaper with how much you will also spent on ps +

The thing with the cost of a PC is that it is only super expensive once. After you build your first PC, you only need to upgrade your GPU moving forward for a long time. And you can get a GPU that performs better than a PS5 pro for $700. And then you get all the other benefits like not paying for online play, bigger sales, more control over the hardware and most important of all, your games will work forever*. Even console exclusives are coming to PC now. I sold my PS4 because I hadn't plugged it in for over 3 years. But it really bothered me that I was going to lose access to all the games I own. Especially Bloodborne. Meanwhile I can still play roller coaster tycon 3 on my pc, a game that I bought TWENTY years ago. The appeal of consoles were always ease of use, low price and exclusive games. 2 of those aren't true anymore.
I don't understand why there are no graphics settings in console games. If Sony knows people prefer fps over pretty graphics, why are the games they publish so unoptimized in the only graphical setting available? You don't even need to have a ton of settings. A simple performance and quality mode toggle would work since the console's hardware is a known quantity for the devs. Set it to quality to get the prettiest visuals 25% of people want and set it to performance for the 120fps that 75% want. I feel like that would be a much better solution. But obviously then they can't bait people into buying a mid gen refresh console
Why can’t I get both?
@@seanhartnett79 Because the majority of customers proved themselves to be absolute morons when they fell for the graphics arms-race hype over and over and over and over again.
@@Darca1n I mean I got both but I also spent 3k on a gaming laptop.
that simple toggle between framerate and resolution exists and it is how they are getting their "75% prefer framerate" statistic, some games on xbox do that as well, it is not a revolutionary new idea for console
@@es5845 ah ok, I don't own any consoles currently so I just assumed there were no settings. So if you can already do this for better performance then the PS5 Pro has even less of a reason to exist
Sir there are children out there that miss loot boxes I 100% believe people will buy this
loot boxes are still better than 30 dollar bundles and game passes that have no real way of obtaining them through playtime. I hate saying it, but loot boxes were better. They are gambling and the only reason they aren't a thing anymore is because the industry was going to get a legal beat down for promoting gambling to kids. I won't forget the "surprise mechanics" they tried to pull in front of congress to attempt to save their rears. It didn't work, and that's why they aren't big anymore.
But the children are spending loads of cash on bundles and battle passes. That's the real kicker that those poor souls will eat that $700 price tag.
@@seaweeb2258 The fact that COD and battlefield had the nerve to include them in a 60 dollar games that still had paid dlc was ridiculous even if you could earn them occasionally through gameplay there was no need for it just cause it’s worse now doesn’t make the old system better

If there was ever a console gen to move to PC gaming and just buy Nintendo stuff whenever you feel a nostalgia rush to play Mario, Zelda or Pokemon it was this one.
Also why can't console manufacturers have two good gens in a row? Seems they forget every leason they learned when they were humbled or disappointed before. Xbox had proved launching two consoles with different specs this gen was not working, no idea why Sony felt like doing this was good 😂

Honestly trouble is we were never ready for 4k. And we still aren't. Look at all the nonsense we have to pull to get decent frame rates at 4k? ai frames? ai upsample?.. !@#$ still can't run at 4k properly with all these tricks, but companies keep selling us new things that "will do it this time for sure" for the last.. 8 years? You can spend $800 for a new console or ps5, or just.. run your things at 1080p and save money and sanity.
So-called "4K" (it's really only 3.84K) is the epitome of diminishing returns for graphics. Four times the work, for a result you need a magnifying glass to actually see.
My monitor is half a metre wide. It's 1080p. I can barely see the pixels if I squint as it is. Increasing the resolution would give me no benefit, and a metre-wide screen would be comically huge.
I blame most of this mess on Microsoft. The Series S has been a burden for developers and Game Pass already peaked and is declining. Sony is seeing their competition destroy itself and they're taking as much money as they can get. I don't think Sony expects it to sell well just condition the market to higher console prices and let regular PS5 sales pick up the slack by being a "better deal".
I mean there’s a books worth why Xbox is failing now(more than the series s is what I mean)
Anyone who would get a "pro" console at all would surely be willing to pay for this price. Hence why they think it will be a success. And as you said, people were willing to pay this price from scalpers for the regular version. It probably won't get a wide audience but it doesn't need one. Its meant to milk people of the last drops before the next gen comes around.
And console players aren't evolved enough to understand how to order a premade PC.

Despite Nintendo being a different market, I have to wonder if this reality will push more people over into Nintendo's ecosystem. And as for Xbox, they could probably pull a miracle out their butts if they kept their heads down and focused on what their next console is gonna be. Hell, maybe Xbox should just become a brand of gaming PCs to capture the market of "if I'm gonna spend $700 on a console, may as well get a PC" that you mentioned. Sony is clearly going to be self-destructive this and next generation.
When there's a product that comes out that is too expensive and more restrictive but easier to use, I call the extra amount people pay the idiot consumer tax. And when there's a preexisting audience with brand loyalty, the tax usually fails to persuade most people to change their buying decision.
True.
They definitely want us to pay for Concord's losses so bad man
My biggest issue is that as they are pushing for digital-only games, that means they are charging $70 for a game that requires no physical manufacturing, not having a distributor cut into their costs... and they'll exclusively control the market. I can get a copy of NBA 2K24 at GameStop for $18.99, but I have to pay full price on the digital shop. 😭
arrogant sony at it again, it's 2006 all over again they need to be humbled hard.
Knowing that I can’t play 90% of my games as a physical collector by just picking up the PS5 pro was the deciding factor not to buy the console.
ps5 pro is like trying to sell the same painting to the same people by saying that the new one has a small dot of new color. The worst thing is there are people who will buy it because they worship sony like a god who makes no mistakes
It's actually nothing like that and getting it has nothing to do with worship. I like FFVII Rebirth and Rebirth is an action game that you want to play at 60fps but when you set graphics to max the game actually looks a lot better but runs at 30fps. 10 days ago I bought my brother a ps5 and that cost 600 after tax. I find it very worth it to get to put a little extra money for what is essentially twice the performance. If the console is so pointless because of games or the difference don't buy it.

guys, listen. You don't have to buy it. It's an option for those people whining about not having 60 or more fps with 4k/8k and maximum raytracing all at the same time. As this video said, the games will only look slightly better, so you're not missing out on anything. Don't act like this is the PS6 and you need to get it to play any new games. It's not and you don't. If you want more storage space, the original PS5 and PS5 slim can be upgraded with another internal NVMe SSD or an external drive. And I don't see your problem with it's lack of a disc drive. you have access to all the games for PlayStation 4 and 5 through the built in playstation games store. You can have any game on your system within minutes on a decent internet connection and maybe hours on a slow connection with larger games, but it's better than driving to a store to choose from a selection of a few dozen games they happen to have in stock.

If the ps5 would've been easily available since day 1, yes a new ps5 pro might be a good idea at this time, but pulling this when it took most people around three years to get the hands on the console and not really having a reason to upgrade, it is greedy and dumb.
I dont see people talk about this much but I think one of the big reason they charge this much is because Xbox giving up on the console war. Sony pretty much monopolize high-end console now. Nintendo is never gonna challenge them, they want separate market anyway.
I think if Microsoft is still in the game they would not dare to charge this much.
This was stupid timing for Sony to try and pull something like this. When basic necessities are considered too expensive, entertainment is always one of the first things people cut from their budgets.
