to some it is... to others it's not. Regardless... there is no going back. From here on out there needs to be new game after new game. Sony took the year off to get this out the door. I expect some big AAA bangers in 25 and beyond.

Well we have ghost of Yotoi confirmed, I expect around June/July then there is either wolverine or Venom at end of the year as per leaks. Genuinely not sure which. Wouldn't be shocked to get an announcement of something from bend, bluepoint or baughty dog although I expect the latter will be 2026. Making it 6 years since their last major release.

TheKingKratos554d ago

It's not worth it if you already own Ps5 and have great TV ... It's worth it for new users even though they Price isn't attractive at all so they might get the normal or Slim Ps5 instead

andy85554d ago

I'd say the opposite. I've had mine 4 years and want an upgrade. Can't see someone who's not that interested enough in PS to have bought one already, jumping in at 7-800. They'd just get a regular one at half that.

TheKingKratos554d ago

I agree with your last sentence

If i am new to Playstation 5, i would probably get the Slim too

But as a ps5 owner since early 2023, selling my Ps5 for less than 250 or 300 and put another 400 and 90 for Disc and another 40 for the stand to get around 30% more in Performance is completely not worth it at all.

That makes a lot of sense, though I can say (anecdotally) that there are people who couldn't buy a PS4 at launch for any number of reasons, the PS4 Pro gets announced as a pleasant surprise, and they pick it up with a ton of great used games and it's lasted them to this point and now they're ready to pick up a PS5 Pro.

I don't know how common it is, but I do know someone who had their kid around the PS4's release and when they finally had some time and extra money, they got the newly released Pro. They came into this generation expecting the same so they skipped PS5, but what they didn't expect is the price. That said, they're still willing to pick up a 5 Pro with a now-sizable library of used games on sale.

Again, no idea how common it is, but there's a market for it.

MajorLazer554d ago

This gen has not been tested to the full yet, though I am glad the Pro exists now. My hope is it drops in price by the time GTA VI releases, £825 all-in is beyond criminal.

andy85553d ago

@kingkratos that's all game dependant though. Rebirth has gone from 1080p/60 with muddy visuals to basically 4K/60. That isn't 30% in my opinion

It's all about freedom of choice.

So is the PS5 Pro a freedom of choice, the same as a 4090 or 5090 is and will also be freedom of choice, too.

The base PS5 won't suffer from the existence of its bigger sister.

And looking at it even economically;

PS5's hardware revenue is declining (as expected). A non-subsidized PS5 Pro will be able to catch some of it.

Hence the Pro is not just only a genuine business decision by Sony, but also a chance for developers all around the world to start working with and learning about PSSR.

Which will only benefit the PS6. And so us.

For those who have money to backup their designer of being on the cutting edge when playing their games is it ,,,,
