They overclocked the CPU. By overclocking you push more power sure, but you also shorten the lifespan of the CPU. Like an adrenaline/sugar rush, you'll crash sooner not later.
They overclocked the cpu a bit for 10% maximum performance output, for that price increase it is terrible but it could improve in some instances the stability in big open wold games with a lot of npcs to process.

The PS5 has sold more than 3x as many units in Europe and more than 4x as many in North America as in Japan, so it is not surprising that the console's primary focus is not Japan at this point. The Switch is by far the biggest console in Japan now, but even still it has sold more units in Europe and quite a lot more in North America than in Japan. The number of kids and young adults is very low in Japan nowadays compared to other areas and that is the biggest age group for consoles. Japan used to utterly dominate the video game industry, but that is much less true today and probably will only become even less true still with time.
i paid 700 swiss francs at the release back then. and for me it was fine overall. you had a full multimedia system with everything in it. including a very good blu ray player. and it started at a perfect time when blu ray movies started. my neighbour bought a 900 bucks bluray player...which only playd movies. and the ps3 was a huge jump in terms of gaming. the ps5 pro is a waste of money. even if you dont have a ps5 allready. still a waste. and there are just a handful games which will run better on ps5 pro. and since nobody gets a pro studios will probably not waste ressources on pro enhanced games....
@@Dragoncam13 I mean yeah I agree with that because you can emulate nintendo games on PC and if you want to play anywhere, you're better off playing on your phone since it's more convenient and everyone carries a phone nowadays
I would say the PS5 Pro has to absolutely blow away what you can slap together for a $700 PC. Otherwise all you’re really doing is paying extra to really gimp the options you have for games. Also with the current state of things I’m expecting to see a lot of Japanese developers start focusing a lot more resources developing for PC.
At the rate they’re going gaming industry will collapse if they sell they’re consoles too high I think Nintendo & Microsoft will follow suit with Sony if it goes well with the Pro get ready next gen consoles are gonna be expensive don’t know how many will sell
Sony definitely seems to hate their origins. From price increases specially in Japan to changing the accept button to the X instead of the O universally in PS5. And closing the PlayStation Japan studios.
These graphics look too clunky for how well-rendered they are... it's sad... PS1-PS3 era was the sweet spot in terms of graphics, designs, gaming, etc. It all seems too over-inflated with zero substance, now.
I used to play PS2 games as a kid but now, I mostly game on PC. Games on PC usually tends to have better graphics though that's not the case all the time.
"Things are getting more expensive but they don't get any better" THIS!!! This man gets it. I've been arguing with people all the time telling them that it's not that I'm against higher prices, but let me see something for that price increase. Offer my something, don't just jack up the price.
Remember: the Digital edition PS5 costed $399 The PS5 Pro doesn't come with a disc drive so it's essentially also a digital console That's a $300 upgrade you could use to buy a switch instead. And plus it doesn't even come with a stand. And there are literally no new games, you're just playing old games with hardly noticeable graphics that you need to look close up to actually slightly notice a difference
I'm loving seeing your reaction and hearing your perspective on that, I want you to know that I'm FULLY on PC not entirely for power, but for Complete freedom. I'm all for console's convenience, but the same CAN'T be applied for this particular system because of the Grand Total price for not just the system, but everything it's not included. I'd like to ask tho, has PC hardware been more available lately in Japan? I've heard it's harder for PC hardware to be there so I hope it has been better at least as of late. Happy I just found the channel! ❤
I’m not even mad, I’m annoyed that I don’t have any games that I genuinely want to play. If feel like I got a console only for the QoL. Maybe modern games are just not for me anymore. I’m tired of sequels.
I bought my OG PS5 last year. Originally was going to wait for the PS5 PRO then it cameout that the slim model had a detachable disc drive. Knew that was not good thought the pro was going to be worse so i bought the OG PS5 before it completely sold out. I hate being right.
As long as Nintendo keeps to its roots of loving games and gamers, Sony can continue down this path of self-destruction. I have 3-4x more games on Switch as I do on PS4/PS5. My Switch is fine but I'm going to buy the Switch 2 whenever it launches too. The worst part is that even PS5 owners now have to worry about new games targeting PS5 Pro means that they will perform so badly on PS5 that they will be unplayable, like they did with PS4/PS4-Pro.
In Sweden it wouldn’t surprise me if the ps5 pro ends up costing something like 999$ (or 9999 Swedish krona) for the base system… I’ll stick to my ps4 pro for legacy ps-games and go for a Switch 2 thank you.
Calm yourself, it's a console. And not everyone buys iPhone and my people are sick of the price gauging and updates anyway. To succeed is numbers, you need owners to get the games and you have neither. Plus the politics in games is causing them not to sell. Developers don't want any of that noise. Don't bother being a fangirl, I do know what I'm talking about.
Basically.. the first year of the release of the PS5 Pro will be pointless, and even if we begin to see devs take advantage of the features later into it's life cycle, the closer we will be to the release of the PS6 - the less relevant of the "Pro" is and for a shorter life span too. TBH. If you were to sell your base PS5 towards upgrading to the Pro, you'd still need to come up with $300-$400. if you are not a diehard PlayStation fan or someone who limits themselves to just one platform, alternately, considering the money you would be spending ($300-$400) instead, on a new experience. Can get a cheap Xbox series s and take advantage of GamePass, or pick up a switch if you haven't already, or even a cheap refurbished base steamdeck.
Playstation isn't Japanese brand anymore, California brand now, that's the sad part. lack of unique JRPGs, or Anime games, which now dominated by Switch.
I understand AI fatigue but I think upscaling is one area that it has obvious benefits. It’s not really the same as LLMs writing wordy nonsense. On the Japanese pricing, let’s hope the yen continues strengthening as interest rates converge.
I'm calling it now. The future of gaming is screwed. Starting with the ps6, the average customer will be out priced from gaming. The ps6 will be 700 dollars or more by default with no disc drive, digital only. The only way to game will be to save up for a pc or buy an emulator handheld and download retro games to play.
Technology is gonna keep moving forward! The more expensive its gonna get. An having gamer constant ask for more frame rate an more higher resolution mean they have to add more modern tech an its gonna keeping raising prices. If every thing could stay normalize like the switch for example why make a switch oled or a switch 2 if people wasn't keep saying how weak it is in terms of technology an performance. Im a really business minded person so its easier for me to see these things in a business sense.
Sony came out with the pro for they wouldn't get sued the pro is doing what the ps5 says on the box the digital was 399 at launch now the digital pro 699 wow
8:35 Unfortunately (as far as I know), Sony is not a Japanese company anymore since 2016 and is instead owned by California, if I'm not mistaken. I guess it's why PS5 even lacks great Japanese titles from different genres.
Yeah and PS3 was way overpriced at the time. And now since wages are not matching inflation the average consumers purchasing power is much lower than when ps3 released, so the pricing is much more punishing for people now.
Yeah because I totally want to buy a console that's been selling the same games since ps4. At least with the new switch, whenever that comes out, will have a fresher line up and won't break my bank. Sony is cooked imo, ever since Xbox dropped out of the console race. Great video as always MrJapan, I love your content!

Canadian price, before tax, is $959.99 After tax, it will be closer to $1,100 Things will always get more expensive, $1000 today isn't worth nealy as much as $1,000 five years ago. Things only get cheaper when nobody wants them anymore.
I was a Sony pony front ps1 all the way to ps4. This generation when comparing both consoles, I got the series x because of games. Grand turismo was good on ps1 and ps2 and kind of fell off on ps3 and ps4. Ratchet and clank isn't my kind of games, final fantasy was not my cup of tea. I have yet to make one purchase on a game because gamepass ultimate offers me day 1 releases and I can beta test more games and run them at 120fps because xbox series x can boost the cpu 10% more for hours without a draw back. Sony can do that for seconds at a time.
I'm surprised any japanese people still want to support Playstation considering they moved their HQ out of Japan to San Fransisco in 2016. The brand has pretty much given up on japanese games and is becoming fully westernized. PS1, PS2, PS3 were the best gens for playstation, PS4 was ok and PS5....😬.
PS5 could by the last Sony console I buy. I'm really not interested in Microsoft. So Nintendo. I think moving forward I'm going back to Nintendo. I play games on my PS5 but the only reason I own a 9th Gen console at all is GTA6. I purchased a 9th gen console for GTA6. I'm waiting on GTA6. Did I mention GTA6?
Was expecting it to be 700 euros but nope, it's 800 even though euro is stronger than dollar currently. Not that it matter to me anyway since sony no longer has games I care about and it mostly has ps3/4 ports anyway.
It's fine. Sony fanboys will still buy it. Same as Apple fanboys. I'll enjoy my new PC instead. Steam (and their sales) are going to give me more value in the long run.
I can tell you the staff at playstation Japan were NOT happy back when it happened. Some of the people who brought the biggest third party games (as exclusives) to playstation are no longer with the company
Sony started going down the drain after they moved the HQ to California. Bad decisions, bad games... And they don't care about the Asian (maybe just China) or the European market. They don't care about the customer or their image, only the share-holder/investors and the upper management (like CEO or CFO) bonuses are important. But those people all forget that it's the customer that brings the money not the investors. I also think you should take a look of how many PS5 have been sold for now, pretty sure not that much. That's also why they keep releasing on PS4. I think it's also bad just to make games for the PS5 Pro at least make games also for the normal PS5 too. My opinion at the end is that everyone should get a PC (with a disc drive build in or an external one) connected to the tv with wireless keyboard & mouse or wirless controller and maybe an Nintendo console. Most Xbox and Playstation games will be released on pc anyway and Nintendo is the only one that doesn't.
Sony Playstation has become completely arrogant and they won’t learn their lesson until they get destroyed financially. Concord was already one and PS5 Pro will be another. It must be said that it’s not all Sony, however. Sony Electronics is great imo because I bought their premium headphones and earphones and not only are they high-quality, but the customer service is great. They aren’t as successful though, while PlayStation is. Only when people are humble and hungry will they do right by customers.

$799=¥119k now 😂 i couple years ago it just ¥80k
I know😱
Sony has lost the plot. I am never paying this much for a console, especially one that doesn’t come as standard with a disc drive.
Canadian price, before tax, is $959.99
After tax, it will be closer to $1,100
Things will always get more expensive, $1000 today isn't worth nealy as much as $1,000 five years ago. Things only get cheaper when nobody wants them anymore.
I was a Sony pony front ps1 all the way to ps4. This generation when comparing both consoles, I got the series x because of games. Grand turismo was good on ps1 and ps2 and kind of fell off on ps3 and ps4. Ratchet and clank isn't my kind of games, final fantasy was not my cup of tea. I have yet to make one purchase on a game because gamepass ultimate offers me day 1 releases and I can beta test more games and run them at 120fps because xbox series x can boost the cpu 10% more for hours without a draw back. Sony can do that for seconds at a time.
You lost me at 'xbox' and 'games'. 😂
7:31 is just a marketing gimick. Sony is learning from Apple. Just put PRO before the name then jack up the price.
Are there even 10 games that make the price worth getting an original ps5?
It’s just fancy marketing talk to convince you, you’re getting something special.
I'm surprised any japanese people still want to support Playstation considering they moved their HQ out of Japan to San Fransisco in 2016. The brand has pretty much given up on japanese games and is becoming fully westernized. PS1, PS2, PS3 were the best gens for playstation, PS4 was ok and PS5....😬.
When are going to get the next Xbox generation?
PS4 was the only system we ever needed. Anything more is pointless.
Ps5 reminds me of Wii u.
Someone has to pay for Concord' flop...
PS5 could by the last Sony console I buy. I'm really not interested in Microsoft. So Nintendo. I think moving forward I'm going back to Nintendo. I play games on my PS5 but the only reason I own a 9th Gen console at all is GTA6. I purchased a 9th gen console for GTA6. I'm waiting on GTA6. Did I mention GTA6?
Rather just hold my money for a Switch 2 plus several games. And what the Switch doesnt get PC covers
Showcasing mostly PS4 games for an over priced PS5 pro makes me think they want to push people towards PC gaming.
Was expecting it to be 700 euros but nope, it's 800 even though euro is stronger than dollar currently.
Not that it matter to me anyway since sony no longer has games I care about and it mostly has ps3/4 ports anyway.
Blame the VAT that is crazy high in Europe, not Sony.
@@IgnasV even before tax the pricing is nuts.
@@IgnasV Just checked it and new ps4s are both 300 euros and dollars for some reason though.
@@JohnDoe-ix4kx 640euros assuming 20% VAT most EU countries have higher VAT than that.
@@RyuSaarva because it's outdated model from 2013 with almost no new games coming out?
It's fine. Sony fanboys will still buy it. Same as Apple fanboys. I'll enjoy my new PC instead. Steam (and their sales) are going to give me more value in the long run.
めちゃくちゃ高いじゃん！
how do you feel that sony has abandoned japan? if you dont care i understand but its kind of a shameful display ya know? smfh sony has 0 loyalty.
It is sad Sony used to be a great company 🥲
I can tell you the staff at playstation Japan were NOT happy back when it happened.
Some of the people who brought the biggest third party games (as exclusives) to playstation are no longer with the company
basically Xbox is stepping out of the console market so Sony is using this as an excuse to justify the increase of their price tag.
Disabling likes and dislikes is stupid, it shows you are afraid.
Sony started going down the drain after they moved the HQ to California. Bad decisions, bad games... And they don't care about the Asian (maybe just China) or the European market. They don't care about the customer or their image, only the share-holder/investors and the upper management (like CEO or CFO) bonuses are important. But those people all forget that it's the customer that brings the money not the investors. I also think you should take a look of how many PS5 have been sold for now, pretty sure not that much. That's also why they keep releasing on PS4. I think it's also bad just to make games for the PS5 Pro at least make games also for the normal PS5 too. My opinion at the end is that everyone should get a PC (with a disc drive build in or an external one) connected to the tv with wireless keyboard & mouse or wirless controller and maybe an Nintendo console. Most Xbox and Playstation games will be released on pc anyway and Nintendo is the only one that doesn't.
Sony Playstation has become completely arrogant and they won’t learn their lesson until they get destroyed financially. Concord was already one and PS5 Pro will be another. It must be said that it’s not all Sony, however. Sony Electronics is great imo because I bought their premium headphones and earphones and not only are they high-quality, but the customer service is great. They aren’t as successful though, while PlayStation is. Only when people are humble and hungry will they do right by customers.
