Remain? Since when did they stop subsidizing console prices with game license fees?

When I saw that price tag for the pro, I knew that I had bought my last PlayStation console. If I decide to invest on new hardware, it will be a PC I can control rather than some locked box plugged into my TV.

Why not both? I have a gaming PC for titles that are best played on the PC and the PS5 is for when I want to relax on the couch.

Unless your PC is really far away why bother getting a console then having to buy another set of games for it over a simple fiber optic hdmi cable to push a 4k/120 signal?

I’ve seen up to 30M hdmi 2.1 cables which ends up being cheaper. Especially if you already have a gaming PC.

The problem I’ve always run into is steam big picture, games with launchers, resolution issues, display scaling for large screens (more rare now), no Dolby Atmos, poor HDR support, and general difficulties for other family members. Consoles are just far far more consistent with the experience than PCs, currently at least.

Why would he say anything different? Sony is trying to sell their newest expensive console nobody asked for.

I wouldn’t say no one asked for it. I like the idea of the ps5 pro. It’s just hard to swallow that price. Might still pick it up on a sale after a year or whatever, recoup some cost by selling my current ps5.
