The PS5 Pro Will Be Great

The PS5 Pro will be great. Everyone needed to hear that, including myself. But seriously, it’s going to patch games up and run the likes of the new GTA and Mafia and more like a dream. The affordability aspect is out of the window when everyone is buying one. In fact, they sold out in the UK. Then they came back in stock. We’ll, of course, find out exactly how it’s performed in due course but just like Mark Cerny said. It’s out there to solve a problem, and for those who want the best experience you deserve to have that this generation.

You cannot argue with that logic, but yes, it’s a mad cash-in. Especially when Microsoft haven’t joined in on the party. Let’s be honest though, as the market leader, it wasn’t going to be too long until Sony had the most powerful console. The interesting thing is how much difference it’s going to make in games and how long it extends the PS5 cycle into a PS6.

Those purchasing this PS5 Pro might also be the ones complaining about that when the PS6 does come around. Then, if it is £700 again, there is going to be another meltdown of epic proportions. But to be fair, if what your doing now brings out the worst to come. You really don’t have a reason to complain. I mean, at that price; it’s not the console itself that is costly; it’s the principle. That principle being that it could set a norm for consoles in the gaming industry.

Obviously, the argument to that is it’s only niche. But people forget, if this PS5 Pro sells incredibly well. It’s going to have a significant influence on pricing in the future. That’s nobodies fault, of course. It’s just the business and consumer relationship at the end of the day. There has to, however, be a degree of caution still, but honestly, if you’ve ordered a PS5 Pro, enjoy it like many others will because it’s going to be a great experience for you.

Do I want the PS5 Pro to do well? I’m not all that bothered, but can I see why it’s out in the wilds for certain people who want the extra power? Absolutely. For all the negativity and how much I’ve personally spoken about it. I don’t think it’s bad for the gaming industry per se; I just think the road to heading to more expensive hardware could be a certainty, not just because of it, but also, because it seems like that’s the end-game anyway.

So in that sense, why the hell should we worry? Sony will still need to be semi-competitive either way for those really concerned about next generation pricing. All I can say is don’t be, but do be prepared to pay more for your consoles in the future and save up that little bit more. These things are trend setters, after all, in an industry and world where things are costing so much more anyway.
