PS5 Pro is a Go Apparently

A PS5 Pro is on the horizon. I’m not sure why but apparently it’s all about pushing GTA 6 as the best place to play on a Sony console. I think regardless of new hardware coming. Be under no illusions that the marketing is going to have to be pretty clear to why this is a good idea this time around. We’ve been having contradictory statements coming out from Sony. On one hand, you have them saying their studios need to be better and more resourceful. Implying that games are getting astronomical in budget.

Then you have them coming out with a PS5 Pro to capitalise on what exactly? Better graphics more FPS? These are questions that are all going to need to be answered and marketed well. It’s a simple fact that Sony hardware sells. The fan base will eat up better hardware. Well, usually anyway. It has surprised me slightly because a lot of PlayStation fans only jumped onboard and got access about a year or so ago due to stock issues that went on a while.

I am not against a PS5 Pro by any stretch of the imagination if it actually is worth it. But how much is this thing going to cost £500? Then how long until the PS6 comes out after that? Anyone will jump onboard a PS5 Pro if they haven’t already jumped into this generation mind you. But with murmurs of a PS6 also in the pipeline for 2028 maybe even before that. We have to put into question the actual reason for it to be a thing.

Looking forward to seeing how they sell it to us that’s for sure if it’s true. Which it could be. Especially when Nintendo Switch 2 has jumped to 2025. I expect that to be March for release. Interesting times ahead.

We all know Xbox is sticking with the Series X for now. However, they might want to get the next generation started earlier and with this news might actually capitalise on that. Whether it will actually matter. Time will tell. It probably won’t. As PlayStation has always been the brand in most players hearts and minds when it comes to overall brand punching power.
