Run a 7800x3D + 4090 in my P.C. and have a Pro (sold my O.G. PS5 -disc version for $450 USD in anticipation of the Pro)... I am very happy to have the Pro and agree with what you said completely.
And most of those P.C. builds do not include a DualSense controller in the cost...
Interesting because Digital Foundry of all sources, said in their review:
"Based on the titles we've played so far with Pro support, that combination works well, and thus far, I do think that PS5 Pro does a much better job in enhancing current generation games than PS4 Pro did back in 2016"
Oh - just saw another post with a link to the same quote but from a source referring to the Eurogamer article.👍🏻
And that's being kind...
1080Ti to 2080Ti --- big cost difference at the time but 35-45% faster... PS5 to PS5 Pro --- less cost difference in price AND the performance difference is easily on par and with PSSR (vs. original DLSS) even more significant. This is not an unprecedented cash grab by Sony. NVIDIA is the king of that, and I'm running a 4090, so it's not as if I am in denial here.
The answer in the article is simple, but ultimately indicates, it doesn't actually matter (double "very") much beyond online arguments:
"Sony's confirmation of 16.7TF suggests that the dual issue FP32 support is not in the PlayStation 5 Pro - not that this is too much of a big deal as it has very, very little impact on gaming performance."
And now Digitalfoundry has confirmed the number as 16.7 -- BUT, also pointed out very plainly that in regards to gaming, this number actually makes almost no difference at all. The 33 would not be worth bragging about just as the 16.7 is not worth bragging or feeling disappointed by. It simply means dual issue support is not being used here and again, *makes almost no difference*.

Just because it is not the only one, does not mean it is not one of them the criticisms frequently brought up by the people who are *not* writing the professional reviews, but are likely *among* those review bombing on metacritic. CrimsonWing's comments, in this context are not totally unreasonable -agree or disagree, it does not change the facts.
The guys at Digitalfoundry are technologically literate and have discussed this matter in some detail if you feel inclined to dig in (and even though the article is not new, they have not backpedaled on any of it - quite the contrary):

Thank you. And yet the disagree(s) shows up ;-)... A simple read of the quotes is telling, but there it is.
Thank you for a measured and reasonable comment.
The interesting thing with the article is that the author and the CEO seem to be using the same words but ascribing EXTREMELY different implications to them. Hideaki's quotes actually sound like he is simply reassuring the existing install base and investors that Sony is not moving onto the next generation and leaving PS5 behind, but instead expanding on the PS5 options. The author however spends a good amount of time saying things like, "With the console’s CPU being a **huge** bottl...
While the remaster is technically more advanced I kept thinking that what it really shows is how impressive looking the original was running on PS4.
As we all know, videogameschroincle.com is the first place everyone goes for trusted reviews on what new gameplay games are best.
As am I and while I was VERY skeptical about this, it seems like a number of people don't want it to actually be good 🤷🏻♂️.
That would be AWESOME -if there were actually many solid XBox games out there over the last few years (and I owned XBox systems starting with the original).
Hoping very much that it gets some "Pro Enhanced" attention.
Are they series-S? ;-)
No doubt they are working on it, but it seems that any actual release needs to be off by a bit. Considering this gen started right as COVID started and for at least a couple years after, many people had a hard time acquiring a PS5, makes it clear that at least a couple of years of this gen hardly count. Developers could not work as they normally would for a good while. There was a dynamic with this timing that lasted and is unprecedented. As a result, adoptions rates were different and cross-...
Do you regret that you got down-voted for not having regrets 🤦🏻♂️? People are crazy with the ▼! Maybe I can get some of that down love too?
