They would make more money if they convinced those people to buy a $20 Firestick instead of a $500 console they are selling at a loss and that requires a billion dollars worth of development and supply chaining and countless other costs that would be eliminated.
Just going through the first page of comments the overwhelming opinion was not what this article is trying to say.
Here are some comments.
Mine downloads at light speed and is just as quiet as my launch digital ps5 (almost whisper)
I guess I'm super lucky. My launch PS5 is whisper quiet and so is my Pro. No network issues either.
Haven't noticed any noise issues with mine.
I haven't noti...
So, websites shouldn't be able to do hardware comparisons?
The two of you seem big mad that PS5 Pro is not only proving to be great hardware but also is selling well.

Do you think Microsoft really cares about the fans of the ever shrinking console base (or anyone) more than they care about money?
Consoles are very expensive to make, they have traditionally used game sales to fund the cost, not only are there less console owners less MAU on the consoles that are already sold those people aren't buying the games that fund the console.
Xbox as a console only exists as long as it pays for itse...
Indiana Jones isn't part of that deal and it's coming to PS5...

[Call of Duty]"Almost 75% of the game's sales came on PlayStation platforms, with 15% on PC and just under 11% on Xbox."
So PlayStation sold 3x more copies than PC and xbox combined.

Pretty great, this is without even any Pro updates. I'd like to see how it would perform with PSSR enabled.
"The simply fact that they refused MS´s help is nothing but further proof that they´d lied!"
You just made that up.
I would counter by saying the fact that Microsoft lies about everything, even in court, proves that they are liars.
Phil is a fan of 10 minute cut and pasted Starfield DLC's, 30$ Halo skins and selling battle passes and cars and tracks as DLC in Forza (Free in GT7).
"Speaking about consoles, Spencer said that he loves that people are buying Xbox hardware, but notes that it isn’t a growth market.(it's shrinking for xbox) “Our biggest growth in Xbox players is on PC and cloud,” he said. “The console space all up isn’t growing , across all of them (Phil, Switch is close to being the best selling console of all time and PS5 is on track to sell 115-125m). We love those customers, but in terms of continuing to expand and grow Xbox, it’s about PC, it’...
Imaging saying Sony did something without any proof when the developer of the game made a public statement saying there was development problems.
How was BG3 different?
And why aren't all games ported to Mac and Linux if it's so easy? Mac and Linux are x86 and there are way more Mac and Linux computers than xbox consoles...
You can't be serious with these recent comments.
Phil has for years been vocal about PlayStation's exclusives and not only when it comes to games but even little petty things like skins in games.
I can say with confidence that the reason he isn't saying it is some kind of deal is because it's simply not true, and it's the kind of untrue statement that can actually get him in trouble.
And again, why would Sony hide it...
CoD the game they spent 70b on has support, I think that's a much bigger statement.
And again, the PS5 Pro is the best way to play every game you listed.
Every game that uses dynamic resolution scaling or has frame drops does benefit from the PS5 Pro even without an update.
So, all those games will run better on PS5 Pro.
Yes, Diablo and CoD, and I bet Indiana Jones gets Pro support as well.
Phil has talked about plenty of other timed exclusive deals, I find it hard to believe that if he actually had information that it was a timed exclusivity deal that he wouldn't be blasting Sony at every opportunity.
Also if Sony had a deal the game would have had some kind of *console exclusive* tag like every other game with a deal.
This is the only actual official statement from Game Science.
"We are currently optimizing th...

Let me be real with you, the money in gaming isn't selling software, it's having a platform to sell other people's software.
So, Microsoft gets a bigger cut of 10m sales of CoD, but Sony is selling 400-500m total units per year of software plus a cut of all the MTX sold on the platform. And that money is highly profitable, unlike developing games which is costly and you only make profit after selling x amount meaning it can e...

"Im a believer that everything (like everyone) deserves a fair chance. if I dont like something, it is what it is. but I dont go around harping on the negative all the time like many on here do."
Get off your high horse, you were in every article trying to talk down the PS5 Pro and trying to convince people not to buy one.
You're just mad because it's xbox under fire, you never have anything like this to say w...

"The hardware is solid, the controller comfortable and the games are fun."
PlayStation has better hardware.
PlayStation has a better controller.
Microsoft games will be more fun on PlayStation.
"You have such a disdain for the brand that you wont even see that it is your own bias that keeps you from just enjoying this hobby for what it is no matter the hardware."
Trust me...

Microsoft spent 100b to buy two of the biggest multiplatform publishers to be able to control the flow of games that go to PlayStation. And they weren't targeting just any publishers/developers they were specifically buying developers and publishers that had ties to PlayStation. They were undeniably trying to undermine PlayStation, and don't think for a second they aren't trying to put PlayStation out of business.
And you want to ta...
