Playstation 5 Pro reveal youtube video has more than 150k dislikes right now

Almost like Sony would be happy with that very split of 250k consoles sold that 50k+ would be the Pro
It doesnt work like that. The PS4 Pro reveal was 85% positive and it resulted in only 20% sales going forward.

This is an unmitigated disaster no matter which way you look at it. You are not going to get 1 in 4 or 1 in 5 sales. It will be down below 5% at best.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
So there's 60+ million people being constantly upset with their PS5 purchase? How does that work exactly?
The PS5 is a great console with some great 3rd party games some are even exclusive.
That's how...that...works.

We don't know what sales will be

I have seen actual analyst predicting it will sell about as well as the PS4 Pro did

So if it sells 10% of PS5 sales going foward, you'd be shocked?

So.........what about great 1st party games?

Inflation is worldwide. And inflation is real. Not sure why you believe the price of the PS5 makes them out of touch with reality. Have you seen the price of the iPhone 16 Pro Max?
Price, while certainly significant, is only one issue of several that I mentioned. Also, I don't buy Apple products because I think they're incredibly overpriced. I tend not to spend more on a brand just because it's trendy or popular. I do my research and spend money on the thing that gives me what I want in terms of features while also providing the best value for my money. And PS5 Pro ain't it.

The same frame gen that requires games to run at a decent framerate already in order to benefit?

It's better than not hitting the target, you can take a 40-60 and use the X2 mode to smooth out all the stuttering from the framerate, but you do need to have that 30-40fps minimum or it falls apart. At least on a handheld the artifacts and input lag aren't as noticeable, though it depends on the game too. At worst you can use it for a smoother framerate while having longer battery life.

Guys, they'll create a new SKU two weeks after the current one ships out.

It will be cheaper than the current one.

Rumour as it that the codename will be an homage to concord.

Well......many people would disagree with you on your Apple stance. Many people do find value on what they offer, even though it's priced pretty high. We'll see what the people really thinks about this 100% totally optional console in 2 months.

You're right, I was a dev.

I found whale-hunting distasteful though, so I quit.

Reality remains that some people are willing to pay a lot of money for their toys, be it a $2k GPU that they don't really need, or spending a fortune on cosmetics for their GaaS of choice. In the context of that, a moderately more expensive console seems like a complete and utter nothing-burger to me.
i'm on vacation in italy and sloshed off my nut on wine and old cheese, didnt fully comprehend your comment.
I now do, and I don't disagree with you.

That's fine, it's my personal opinion. There's just no current Apple feature that would compel me to buy an iPhone over an Android. I'm not invested in Apple's walled garden, and they haven't won me over with any proprietary features, so it's a pretty easy choice.

You're saying that as if gamers legit don't like the PS5 that they bought. It's slightly odd way to present your point. Its as if you believe Sony hasn't done much good during the PS5 generation. Weird.....

Not saying that at all. Sony has had their share of blunders, but the opposition is worse. At the end of the day, people that want a "premiere" console are stuck with two options. Not 100% of PlayStation players are happy with this gen for PS5, but the alternative is Xbox. Additionally for many, they have their digital library in the PlayStation ecosystem.

Hopefully you understand this time around.
 
They can't use the chuds/nazi excuse when it comes to hardware :lollipop_grinning_sweat:
They probably can't but still will try :)
I mean the PS5 Pro is mostly white and large, bulky and penis-like in the verticle position, so obviously meant for White Males

Then again, it sorta resembles a vagina as well, so, white females????

Rightfully so.

- Too expensive
- Upgrades they showed were embarrassing
- No disc drive
- No stand
- No premium controller
- PS6 in 3-4 years you would think

And I say this as someone who was willing to spend a good £550 or so on this before the announcement.

Wouldn’t entirely be shocked if a lot of devs start half assing Pro upgrades.

As expected. Ps5 pro is not for everyone, and not intended to be, and we are not being force to upgrade. Ps5 OG is still a very good piece of equipment. I think Sony will be happy even with just 5% of the 60 millions will upgrade to ps5 pro. But I'm already happy with my ps5 slim, but to be honest, ps5 pro is growing in me :messenger_beaming:
 
I can afford it. My gaming PC has a 3090. I still don't like that Sony is purposely withholding the disc drive and therefore hiding the true price of the Pro
Sony would be happier if you didn't buy the drive, so they are not hiding anything. They didn't ship it with a drive because they benefit from not shipping with a drive, not to hide the cost of anything.

This is an odd stance and will probably not go over well with a lot of veteran PS fans here who pride on stats like a higher majority of Sony first party games selling more on physical, as opposed to what happens in most third party cases.

It is not popular but is a factual take. The Drive is still available to purchase, Sony just lets the audience know where the company stands. Feel free to buy the Drives as you wish, i didn't say you shouldn't buy them. i am just saying Sony doesn't care for them other than as necessary.

Yeah, it's guys looking through people's post history for "gotchas". LOL. I am sorry people don't like your preferred piece of plastic bud. Good luck in your future endeavors.
just looked to see if I was suffering from déjà vu or if you actually like shitposting the same thing over and over. Get back to playing on your 4090 and 64gb while basking in the 'salt' of this $700 price announcement.
