Always was. They were actually going to come up with a similar strategy but let Xbox test the consumer reaction first. Ever since they have been trying to find a way to work it in. While everyone was busy hating on Xbox for something they ultimately never did, they turned a blind eye to Sony doing what they originally announced.
@@mrjohnnyk Yup, spot on. And actually Xbox had some fairly interesting ideas with what they were trying to do. Actually would have created one, if not the solution to digital ownership, digital renting and borrowing from others and being able to actually sell your digital goods (games). There were aspects that were totally stupid, but some of the things they wanted to implement really would have been cool. And it's wild how we basically ended up where they knew the market was going regardless except we remain without a good option/solution for having the same or similar freedoms that we have of physical media for our digital media.
@@mrjohnnykXbox has always been one step ahead, especially with gaming services. Game Pass is also obliterating PlayStation and it’s abysmal PlayStation Plus service alive and the Activision/Blizzard/Bethesda acquisition is a backhanded slap. Playstation will sell more consoles (at a loss), but Xbox is literally drowning in money.
@@_Paul_N Very true. Console sales is always the be-all end-all talking point for every Playstation fan. Kinda funny how their only brag is something that doesn't really make the company any money. It's like Xbox is focused on making money, not too sure what Sony's real focus is from an investor standpoint.
the thing is sony just cant take the L. just let ps5pro do its own thing, not increasing the price just because concrd failed. thats freakin desperate.
Taxes are not included in the US price. But even if they add them, the console is still cheaper in the US compared to the UK and Europe. Here in mainline EU it costs 800 euros. That is just crazy. My first custom build gaming PC was that expensive, this was the full build with monitor and keyboard. Now you have to pay 800 for the console, 120 for the disk tray, 70-130 for a game and another 50 for PS Plus...wtf. Consoles aren't worth it anymore
Thats why i stopped playing HD2.. i feel really sorry for the Devs themselves, they seem passionate about it, but part of their grand vision of a united super earth playerbase from all around the world is getting blocked out by Sony and this wont change, Sony does not care, they could fix this instantly.
> Requires PSN links to their singleplayer games on PC. > Delists everything from Helldivers 2 and on from being purchased by non PSN supported countries (half of the world, btw) on PC. I thought they were trying to bring PC audience to Playstation not push them away.
I'm primarily a PC gamer and I dipped into console w/ the PS4 era for GoW 2018. Sony was so much better back then. I sadly did buy a PS5 at launch and have regretted it ever since as all its been good for is collecting dust.
It’s absolutely WILD to think the Sony that is making all these terrible decisions is also (at least somewhere deep down) the Sony that gave us the masterpiece that is the God of War reboots.
Friendly heads-up that the Kratos inspired song `To Be Better` by `Miracle of Sound` is quite the feel good music. And on 1.25 speed is also quite the workout song.
There's a lot more to complain about than just the disk drive. Because seriously, disks are not even relevant these days. Each "disk" just creates plastic waste and you need to download the games anyways. I don't remember the last time I bought a physical disk
What a wild couple weeks for Sony. First concord flopping, then immediately shutting down its servers, then Astro bot releasing to critical acclaim on the same day the concord servers went down, then to the ridiculous reveal of the PS5 Pro and its price. What the hell is going on😂?
They are elitists they are no longer interested in mass consumerism, think of a boutique shop , they don't want us in there , even if it means closing one day
@@DFTNSHEXGRM This goes beyond Jim Ryan final decisions that ruined Sony so badly (including the addition of obtaining Firewalk (which should have been removed from existance from the moment they bought it and Concord be Canned or Remade from the ground up by people who are better suited for making this (Bungie being the best candidate), his obscesive focus on Live Services when the market is too saturated and they had no studios that are suited for this (in big part because of his over-relliance on CoD Money before Xbox decided to buy Activision); but most importantly, Rushing the PS5 to the Market in 2020 (when they could have waited more time to get the console prepared produced and make sure the jump would feel better with games designed from the ground up for it) or even updating the Design to make it better (PS5 Pro features should have been in the BASE PS5 from the get go)). Mark Cerny is also to blame here since he's one of the worst console designers period (specially when it comes of thermals) But also one of the biggest factors that allowed this to happen is Xbox basically "throwing the towel" TWICE (one deserved because of Don Matrick's stupidity, and the other because basically Nadella deciding to refocus onto Game Pass (which, i'm not saying it's a bad service, but he should have NOT negleted the Series))
they are trying to become the apple of gaming... they only see high margins. they probably don't longer care about user base. On the flip side, it's actually a warning about how expensive the PS6 will have to be to be competitive. Or the xbox next. I do think nintendo's console will be priced 400-500 like the steam deck.
@@MrSefiroh How was it not Sony? They tried forcing the PSN login, they removed the game from 3/4 of the world's markets, and the game has not recovered its playerbase since. Arrowhead's tepid updates and unending weapon nerfs since then have just been salt in the wound that was 100% inflicted by Sony's bad business sense.
@@dansilvers8052 AH knew all along that Sony had the psn login requirement. Due to poor leadership, they sucked up all that success and let it go by the waistside. Sony doesn't own AH so they left it up to them only having to get involved afterwards. It is pretty clear how bad the guys at AH are and disorganized. Sony's failure is leaning into DEI BS and not vetting their last few studio purchases and partnerships. There they have failed miserably which is most likely why they had to overprice the ps5 pro and will continue losing. Their only hope is in releasing those 1st party bangers they're known for. They need to get back to that.
Have truer words been spoken? I just don't get how Sony is making these poor moves just one after another. You nailed it when you said they should have advisors and consultants telling them this stuff. It's insane they either don't have them or are not listening to them.
The things that irk me the most is that Sony is so idiotic that it's moving away from physical media and forcing people to buy an extra disc drive just to have access to your physical games in 10, 20, 30 etc. years time. The fact that you need an online activation even if you buy the extra disc drive is so pathetic, since when Sony's servers for that online activation go offline (which they definitely will, sometime in the future), you’ll never be able to play physical games on a PS 5 Pro if you buy a disc drive at that point. So all the people going on about "who doesn't have Internet access?" are so ignorant. It doesn't matter if you have Internet access or not, if you can't connect to some arbitrary mandatory website that won't exist in the future, then you're screwed anyway.
I really do not understand what Sony is doing this console generation. Ever since around the PS5 launch I've been getting the vibe from them that we're kind of going back to that PS3 era where Sony was out of touch and thought they could get away with anything after the smashing success of the PS2, which even to this day many people still cite as the most popular gaming console of all time. Sony charged out the wazoo for the PS3 and a lot of their marketing for it alienated gamers. There's a reason you heard people saying they wanted an Xbox 360 or a Wii and heard few people say they wanted a PS3. During the later half they managed to bounce back and changed their whole approach for the better. And much of that led into the PS4 generation where it seemed like they were firing on all cylinders. So many iconic games came out on the PS4. When they did the PS4 pro, people were excited because it was just a better PS4 and the price was reasonable. $400 which was the launch price of the base model. The OG PS4 instead got a price cut. Yet here with the PS5 being in the middle of its lifespan, which should be its peak where games are the best they can be and the hardware gets cheaper to attract more customers who have not bought in, they're raising the price of the console in some territories, they've raised the price of the controller. And mind you, NONE of this comes with any sort of upgrade to justify those price increases. (If they added hall effect sticks or better battery life, the extea $5 could totally be justified.) Not to mention PS+ is now $80 a year at the base price to play online. All of that they have the balls to announce this minor upgrade of a console for $700 with no disc drive (add $80 for that.) or vertical stand. ($20 to $40 for that). After taxes its like $1000 to buy the console, the stuff that should be included, and a game to play it on. Console gaming is supposed to be a budget friendly option to get into gaming. But at that price point you might as well get a PC. This is why I've stopped buying consoles. The only good thing Sony has done this gen is released some of their games on PC. But even thats not been perfect.
@mrjohnnyk And you woulda thought that the bombshell that was Concord would have been some kind of slap in the face to START waking tf up if not cause them to completely course correct. But unfortunately I do believe that nothing is going to get them to quit the shenanigans other than competition rising. What could happen is if the Playstation brand remains in the state it is or even if it get's a little better or worse, and the rumors are true and the Xbox Next launches in 2026 and all the things that have been talked about do make it to the system, that xbox could legitimately be their next "360" equivalent level of success. Then, and only then will Sony Playstation wake tf up. Well, and also if the Switch 2 releases with a fair bit of features and power and get's the majority of 3rd party games being ported over there. Nintendo could start to become a huge problem for Sony, and not just in Japan, but world wide.
And in addition to this, PCs are not like they were 20 years ago. Today, you can get a good running gaming PC for a grand, thats half the price of 20 years ago.
@blockmasterscott This is absolutely true, and gaming on PC is extremely approachable these days and even if some aspects can or could be daunting or confusing for some, it's fairly smooth of a process to just look up online an issue you might have.
@@Mmachine88 Honestly at this point console gaming is about as complicated as PC gaming. You still have to set up the console, download updates, make an account. And if something breaks on a console it can be even more of a pain to get fixed.
Thank you for this. Sony really pulled another PS3 launch situation with a ridiculously overpriced console. I guess being the top of the console market made them think they could get away with this.
the funny thing is the PS3 price while outrageous was technically underpriced for the cost to make it(around 800) and online was free! You can damn guarantee everything is overpriced on the ps5 pro, hell the base ps5 is already overpriced.
Not at all. The PS3 had cutting edge hardware for the time. I know people who were keen to install a Linux OS on it due to the 'multi-cell' CPU tech or whatever the hype was. This PS5 Pro is just a hamfisted mid-gen cash-grab.
I was expecting the usual introduction but damn that removal of necktie and the long sigh paired with disappointed facial expression, I literally burst out laughing. that's a good one.
@@enorma29 What the hell are you talking about? I'm just tired of being told just buy a PC and called poor peasant for ten years straight. But after consoles adopted the same BS of online requirement, day 1 update and no physical media, I just use windows laptop. At least I can use it for work.
@@ZeroXSEED It's all good man, I get what you mean. I game on PC almost exclusively and even I get annoyed by PC master-racers. The Steam Deck is pretty nice though, not gonna lie. I was impressed when I tried out my dad's.
The fact that they are charging $700 US for a console WITHOUT A DISC DRIVE is INSANE to me. If you want the disc version, you have to shell out an extra $80 for the disc drive add-on which would make it an EVEN MORE INSANE $780. Now if you want it to stand vertically, that would make it a RIDICULOUS $810. Any higher you would be creeping into PC territory cause $810 is getting pretty close to a gaming PC already. That and there are not many good games to justify the price tag as Black Myth Wukong, Stellar Blade and The First Descendant aren't enough to make the upgrade. That and the specs aren't that much of an improvement over the already impressive base system. While it is nice to see that we are going to get smoother gaming and stuff but it isn't worth $700 and I am going to see a major price drop on this cause it is NOT going to sell at $700. This is giving me real PS3 launch vibes when they announced THAT console for $600. Granted it was able to play all of the PS2 and PS1 games which was a nice little bonus, BUT, it still didn't go down well with the customer base due to just how high of a price tag it was back in 2006 when the system launched. This time around it is just how anti-consumer Sony has been as of late is the main reason why outside of the $700 price tag is why this was a failure to launch. It doesn't help that they raised the Controller price by $15 from $70 to $85 recently either. Sony has COMPLETELY lost touch with the customers and it is sad to see. It makes their move to California seem worse and worse by the day. Once they moved there, they took that hard left turn down WOKE Avenue. They became more censorious, more about pushing THE MESSAGE (whatever that is), you name it. It was NOT a good move for them. This is another MASSIVE L for Sony. What the f*** were they thinking with this launch? This was SO embarrassing....
and the 699 is without stand and disc drive. the PS3 had a Blu-Ray player and you could stand the console. so if you had the drive and stand you are over the PS3 price

In India, the ps5 digital edition costs around $530 USD, while the disc edition costs around $650 USD both with 1 controller and no games. Now imagine how much the Pro would cost. Probably a $1000 USD at this rate.

Sony, you want to make more money then ever before? You want a guaranteed success to drive business back up? Make new PS2s that will run all the old games. I guarantee people will buy them, we all have our old games we'd love to replay. And many greats we didn't get a chance to at the time. Retro gaming is really popular right now, take advantage!
which ironically, because of the price, might just put them further in the hole due to lack of interest. Its like the execs have no idea how their business works. "oh we're down millions? just hike up the price of the hardware, that always sells". I really hope it doesnt, they need to learn their lesson
Sony lost millions of customers PERMANENTLY after the PS2. Notice that no Playstation product ever came close to outselling the PS2? That;s because those millions of people left and aren't coming back. So the idiots who are left are being gouged to pay for that loss in customers. As Sony loses more and more customers, the prices will continue to go up.

Put it in a display with the disc in it, never use it, just a trophy to the failure of a once great company.
The Sony that made that ad making fun of Xbox game sharing is long dead.😢
Always was. They were actually going to come up with a similar strategy but let Xbox test the consumer reaction first. Ever since they have been trying to find a way to work it in. While everyone was busy hating on Xbox for something they ultimately never did, they turned a blind eye to Sony doing what they originally announced.
@@mrjohnnyk Yup, spot on. And actually Xbox had some fairly interesting ideas with what they were trying to do. Actually would have created one, if not the solution to digital ownership, digital renting and borrowing from others and being able to actually sell your digital goods (games). There were aspects that were totally stupid, but some of the things they wanted to implement really would have been cool. And it's wild how we basically ended up where they knew the market was going regardless except we remain without a good option/solution for having the same or similar freedoms that we have of physical media for our digital media.
@@mrjohnnykXbox has always been one step ahead, especially with gaming services. Game Pass is also obliterating PlayStation and it’s abysmal PlayStation Plus service alive and the Activision/Blizzard/Bethesda acquisition is a backhanded slap. Playstation will sell more consoles (at a loss), but Xbox is literally drowning in money.
@@_Paul_N Very true. Console sales is always the be-all end-all talking point for every Playstation fan. Kinda funny how their only brag is something that doesn't really make the company any money. It's like Xbox is focused on making money, not too sure what Sony's real focus is from an investor standpoint.

Apparently Sony is dead-set on recouping their losses for Concord one way or another.
They're not doing it very well.
the thing is sony just cant take the L. just let ps5pro do its own thing, not increasing the price just because concrd failed. thats freakin desperate.
The equivalent of 699 dollars in uk is £535, so why are we getting charged an extra £300 for barley an upgrade and having to pay £699.
Taxes are not included in the US price. But even if they add them, the console is still cheaper in the US compared to the UK and Europe. Here in mainline EU it costs 800 euros. That is just crazy. My first custom build gaming PC was that expensive, this was the full build with monitor and keyboard. Now you have to pay 800 for the console, 120 for the disk tray, 70-130 for a game and another 50 for PS Plus...wtf. Consoles aren't worth it anymore

Listening to customers is NOT part of Sony's business model.
Sony:
> Messes up Concord
> Drops a Pro Console with almost double the price as the last one
> Refuses to elaborate
> Leaves
> Requires PSN links to their singleplayer games on PC.
> Delists everything from Helldivers 2 and on from being purchased by non PSN supported countries (half of the world, btw) on PC.
I thought they were trying to bring PC audience to Playstation not push them away.
Also messed up PSVR2. Launched but did not support the platform.

The tie comes off
It gets real
Remember the 1st trailer of God of War on the ps4? When Kratos told Atreus,
"Do not be sorry. Be better."
I think Sony forgot.
Nice.
I'm primarily a PC gamer and I dipped into console w/ the PS4 era for GoW 2018. Sony was so much better back then. I sadly did buy a PS5 at launch and have regretted it ever since as all its been good for is collecting dust.
It’s absolutely WILD to think the Sony that is making all these terrible decisions is also (at least somewhere deep down) the Sony that gave us the masterpiece that is the God of War reboots.
Friendly heads-up that the Kratos inspired song `To Be Better` by `Miracle of Sound` is quite the feel good music. And on 1.25 speed is also quite the workout song.

Lets hope so.
What a wild couple weeks for Sony. First concord flopping, then immediately shutting down its servers, then Astro bot releasing to critical acclaim on the same day the concord servers went down, then to the ridiculous reveal of the PS5 Pro and its price. What the hell is going on😂?

Nintendo: You’ve confused movies with games my friend. Now watch this drive!
Idk if it was intentional or not, but nintendo having a disc drive and ps5 pro not having one makes this comment gold.
0:02 Bro really hit us with the apology TH-cam start.
At this point it seems like they are making bad business decisions on purpose
It does seem that way, doesn't it?
I think we are witnessing the repercussions of Jim Ryan’s final decisions before he left.
They are elitists they are no longer interested in mass consumerism, think of a boutique shop , they don't want us in there , even if it means closing one day
@@DFTNSHEXGRM This goes beyond Jim Ryan final decisions that ruined Sony so badly (including the addition of obtaining Firewalk (which should have been removed from existance from the moment they bought it and Concord be Canned or Remade from the ground up by people who are better suited for making this (Bungie being the best candidate), his obscesive focus on Live Services when the market is too saturated and they had no studios that are suited for this (in big part because of his over-relliance on CoD Money before Xbox decided to buy Activision); but most importantly, Rushing the PS5 to the Market in 2020 (when they could have waited more time to get the console prepared produced and make sure the jump would feel better with games designed from the ground up for it) or even updating the Design to make it better (PS5 Pro features should have been in the BASE PS5 from the get go)). Mark Cerny is also to blame here since he's one of the worst console designers period (specially when it comes of thermals)
But also one of the biggest factors that allowed this to happen is Xbox basically "throwing the towel" TWICE (one deserved because of Don Matrick's stupidity, and the other because basically Nadella deciding to refocus onto Game Pass (which, i'm not saying it's a bad service, but he should have NOT negleted the Series))
You know it's serious when the suit is on... but the necktie comes off right away
They are testing the waters... but that will backfire ultimately...
I hope they see the test results.
@@sungrandstudios we hope so yes, this initial approach is overwhelmingly negative, they will react eventually
they are trying to become the apple of gaming... they only see high margins. they probably don't longer care about user base. On the flip side, it's actually a warning about how expensive the PS6 will have to be to be competitive. Or the xbox next. I do think nintendo's console will be priced 400-500 like the steam deck.
In other terms, they're fucking around and they're about to find out.
@TheGoreforce this is the result of moving their entire gaming division to commiefornia

Wow. Brutal comment.

@danielholowitski3855 so dumb how people blame that on Sony. 😂 people are so brainless.
@@MrSefiroh How was it not Sony? They tried forcing the PSN login, they removed the game from 3/4 of the world's markets, and the game has not recovered its playerbase since. Arrowhead's tepid updates and unending weapon nerfs since then have just been salt in the wound that was 100% inflicted by Sony's bad business sense.
@@dansilvers8052 AH knew all along that Sony had the psn login requirement. Due to poor leadership, they sucked up all that success and let it go by the waistside. Sony doesn't own AH so they left it up to them only having to get involved afterwards.
It is pretty clear how bad the guys at AH are and disorganized.
Sony's failure is leaning into DEI BS and not vetting their last few studio purchases and partnerships. There they have failed miserably which is most likely why they had to overprice the ps5 pro and will continue losing.
Their only hope is in releasing those 1st party bangers they're known for. They need to get back to that.
This became my favorite channel in just under 2 videos lol
Hahaha. I appreciate that. Mostly I just use my channel as a chill way to hang out with people.
Have truer words been spoken? I just don't get how Sony is making these poor moves just one after another. You nailed it when you said they should have advisors and consultants telling them this stuff. It's insane they either don't have them or are not listening to them.
Yes. No one benefits in a situation like this. It is frustrating.
Its a power shift, handing it off to China.
It’s not just Sony. Disney and Wizards of the Coast are doing the same thing too.
It's possible DEI means there's no longer sensible people In control
The things that irk me the most is that Sony is so idiotic that it's moving away from physical media and forcing people to buy an extra disc drive just to have access to your physical games in 10, 20, 30 etc. years time.
The fact that you need an online activation even if you buy the extra disc drive is so pathetic, since when Sony's servers for that online activation go offline (which they definitely will, sometime in the future), you’ll never be able to play physical games on a PS 5 Pro if you buy a disc drive at that point.
So all the people going on about "who doesn't have Internet access?" are so ignorant. It doesn't matter if you have Internet access or not, if you can't connect to some arbitrary mandatory website that won't exist in the future, then you're screwed anyway.
Well said.

He would leave Sony in the Barrow Downs.
Remember guys, he's not a youtuber. He's a goat.
I really do not understand what Sony is doing this console generation. Ever since around the PS5 launch I've been getting the vibe from them that we're kind of going back to that PS3 era where Sony was out of touch and thought they could get away with anything after the smashing success of the PS2, which even to this day many people still cite as the most popular gaming console of all time. Sony charged out the wazoo for the PS3 and a lot of their marketing for it alienated gamers. There's a reason you heard people saying they wanted an Xbox 360 or a Wii and heard few people say they wanted a PS3.
During the later half they managed to bounce back and changed their whole approach for the better. And much of that led into the PS4 generation where it seemed like they were firing on all cylinders. So many iconic games came out on the PS4. When they did the PS4 pro, people were excited because it was just a better PS4 and the price was reasonable. $400 which was the launch price of the base model. The OG PS4 instead got a price cut.
Yet here with the PS5 being in the middle of its lifespan, which should be its peak where games are the best they can be and the hardware gets cheaper to attract more customers who have not bought in, they're raising the price of the console in some territories, they've raised the price of the controller. And mind you, NONE of this comes with any sort of upgrade to justify those price increases. (If they added hall effect sticks or better battery life, the extea $5 could totally be justified.) Not to mention PS+ is now $80 a year at the base price to play online. All of that they have the balls to announce this minor upgrade of a console for $700 with no disc drive (add $80 for that.) or vertical stand. ($20 to $40 for that). After taxes its like $1000 to buy the console, the stuff that should be included, and a game to play it on.
Console gaming is supposed to be a budget friendly option to get into gaming. But at that price point you might as well get a PC. This is why I've stopped buying consoles. The only good thing Sony has done this gen is released some of their games on PC. But even thats not been perfect.
They have definitely become too cocky with their fanbase enthusiasm.
@mrjohnnyk And you woulda thought that the bombshell that was Concord would have been some kind of slap in the face to START waking tf up if not cause them to completely course correct. But unfortunately I do believe that nothing is going to get them to quit the shenanigans other than competition rising. What could happen is if the Playstation brand remains in the state it is or even if it get's a little better or worse, and the rumors are true and the Xbox Next launches in 2026 and all the things that have been talked about do make it to the system, that xbox could legitimately be their next "360" equivalent level of success.
Then, and only then will Sony Playstation wake tf up. Well, and also if the Switch 2 releases with a fair bit of features and power and get's the majority of 3rd party games being ported over there. Nintendo could start to become a huge problem for Sony, and not just in Japan, but world wide.
And in addition to this, PCs are not like they were 20 years ago. Today, you can get a good running gaming PC for a grand, thats half the price of 20 years ago.
@blockmasterscott This is absolutely true, and gaming on PC is extremely approachable these days and even if some aspects can or could be daunting or confusing for some, it's fairly smooth of a process to just look up online an issue you might have.
@@Mmachine88 Honestly at this point console gaming is about as complicated as PC gaming. You still have to set up the console, download updates, make an account. And if something breaks on a console it can be even more of a pain to get fixed.
Even without a script, you're very insightful. Thank you for your insight and substance.
I just want good games and consoles at fair prices for my fellow gamers... And me too.
Thank you for this. Sony really pulled another PS3 launch situation with a ridiculously overpriced console.
I guess being the top of the console market made them think they could get away with this.
I hope they start to understand their audience better. Also, your profile image is my favorite Sailor Scout/senshi.
The unforntunate consequence of having no competiton
the funny thing is the PS3 price while outrageous was technically underpriced for the cost to make it(around 800) and online was free! You can damn guarantee everything is overpriced on the ps5 pro, hell the base ps5 is already overpriced.
Not at all. The PS3 had cutting edge hardware for the time. I know people who were keen to install a Linux OS on it due to the 'multi-cell' CPU tech or whatever the hype was.
This PS5 Pro is just a hamfisted mid-gen cash-grab.
I was expecting the usual introduction but damn that removal of necktie and the long sigh paired with disappointed facial expression, I literally burst out laughing. that's a good one.

Can't believe 2 out of the 3 have just given up. Thank God for a PC and indie games.
Oh yeah Nintendo and PC are in my opinion the only good platform left, again in my opinion (some may disagree).
I hate PC elitist, but the console factories aren't helping
I gave up on PS since PS3, the last non-portable console I own
Yeah that’s the thing, I play mostly indie games on my ps5, or older games, or remakes.
@@enorma29 What the hell are you talking about? I'm just tired of being told just buy a PC and called poor peasant for ten years straight. But after consoles adopted the same BS of online requirement, day 1 update and no physical media, I just use windows laptop. At least I can use it for work.
@@ZeroXSEED It's all good man, I get what you mean. I game on PC almost exclusively and even I get annoyed by PC master-racers.
The Steam Deck is pretty nice though, not gonna lie. I was impressed when I tried out my dad's.
From closing the Legendary Japan Studio to further fund Concord to now, these absurd prices.
I wonder how are they still afloat at this point.
The fact that they are charging $700 US for a console WITHOUT A DISC DRIVE is INSANE to me. If you want the disc version, you have to shell out an extra $80 for the disc drive add-on which would make it an EVEN MORE INSANE $780. Now if you want it to stand vertically, that would make it a RIDICULOUS $810. Any higher you would be creeping into PC territory cause $810 is getting pretty close to a gaming PC already. That and there are not many good games to justify the price tag as Black Myth Wukong, Stellar Blade and The First Descendant aren't enough to make the upgrade. That and the specs aren't that much of an improvement over the already impressive base system. While it is nice to see that we are going to get smoother gaming and stuff but it isn't worth $700 and I am going to see a major price drop on this cause it is NOT going to sell at $700. This is giving me real PS3 launch vibes when they announced THAT console for $600. Granted it was able to play all of the PS2 and PS1 games which was a nice little bonus, BUT, it still didn't go down well with the customer base due to just how high of a price tag it was back in 2006 when the system launched. This time around it is just how anti-consumer Sony has been as of late is the main reason why outside of the $700 price tag is why this was a failure to launch. It doesn't help that they raised the Controller price by $15 from $70 to $85 recently either. Sony has COMPLETELY lost touch with the customers and it is sad to see. It makes their move to California seem worse and worse by the day. Once they moved there, they took that hard left turn down WOKE Avenue. They became more censorious, more about pushing THE MESSAGE (whatever that is), you name it. It was NOT a good move for them. This is another MASSIVE L for Sony. What the f*** were they thinking with this launch? This was SO embarrassing....
All I can think of is Kratos saying the line "Do not be sorry, be better"
Adjusted for inflation:
PS1: $611 (1995)
PS2: $546 (2000)
PS3: $778 (2006)
PS4: $538 (2013)
PS4 Pro: $522 (2016)

Sony killed a great brand today ! Especially for us ! With a 500 physical game library and love collecting our games this is a kick in the balls to me and my family!! They lost our support after decades I've spent 100's of thousands on sony products over the last 30 years . I'm done unless they make changes. Greed , greed , greed ! 700 bucks with no physical drive what a joke of the decade lol . First console we definitely will not be buying since the original PS .
This the important kind of testimony that Sony absolutely needs to see. Thanks for sharing your side of the situation.
In India, the ps5 digital edition costs around $530 USD, while the disc edition costs around $650 USD both with 1 controller and no games. Now imagine how much the Pro would cost. Probably a $1000 USD at this rate.
Normally I'm a playstation main. But this was a BIG L on sony's part. I have an Xbox One for scenarios just like this. If they compromise ps5 with an update software of the regular ps5 to force Pro sales, I'm out. 6:23
Thank you for sharing your side of things. Sony absolutely needs to see feedback like this.
800€ no disk drive or stand, so thats almost 1k for the full package, that is CRAZY for a midgen refresh
Sony looked at all the recent Microsoft mistakes and were like “That! I want THAT!”
As a loving and caring father and uncle I conducted a short survey among my subjects with a single question: Where do we stand on the PS5 Pro and the answers were as follows:

It genuinely seems like incompetence is rampant at the highest levels of companies in this day and age.
Sony lost millions of customers PERMANENTLY after the PS2. Notice that no Playstation product ever came close to outselling the PS2? That;s because those millions of people left and aren't coming back. So the idiots who are left are being gouged to pay for that loss in customers. As Sony loses more and more customers, the prices will continue to go up.
Many people purchased multiple PS2 consoles because the early consoles didn't last long and just died.
I think it's high time they brought back Sony HQ to Japan.
Sony needs to fire the person who keeps accepting these hideous designs. My PS4 pro looked perfect in harmony with my interior. But this monster they have created belongs in a huge pile of dumb.
