After abundant rumors, the Sony PlayStation 5 Pro game console was released on November 7, 2024. 

The launch trailer of PS5 Pro Console on YouTube highlights the “Play has no limits” title and more immersive graphics. You can directly purchase Sony’s latest console from direct.playstation.com for $699.99 with 2 TB of storage.

On the other hand, players criticize the PS5 Pro game console for its high price. People rebuked Sony for releasing the PS5 Pro without a disc drive and vertical stand. Some analysts unveiled that still some fans will buy this console because “PlayStation is similar to Apple”   

Genki_JPN posted on X (formerly Twitter) revealed the statement of Sony’s President.

“Sony President, COO, and CFO Hiroki Totoki says the PS5 Pro pricing has not had a negative impact and that it is aimed at hardcore users.” 

“Hardcore users are the target of this hardware”

“In terms of the pricing many people made different comments on that, but pricing on PS5 pro has not had a negative impact I don’t think.”

Despite this, Vince Zampella, head of Respawn Entertainment defended Sony PS5 Pro console pricing. He stated that keeping in mind the $700 price, the new console offers better performance than some PCs at the same price.

Surprisingly, players who bought PlayStation 5 Pro posted on social media that they were happy with the upgrade. It is noticed that those who criticize PS5 Pro are not willing to pay $700 for graphics updates only. Regardless of price, the PS5 Pro next-gen console features image clarity of 4K TV, PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR), and a high frame rate of 120fps.
