Gamers are furious (again): the PlayStation 5 Pro launch has been heavily criticised due to the console's high cost and showcasing old games

Yesterday, Sony has officially unveiled the PlayStation 5 Pro: the console will offer improved ray tracing, a powerful processor and 2TB of inbuilt memory . The novelty will be much more powerful than its predecessor, will provide a big boost in performance, significantly improved ray tracing and has 2 TB of inbuilt memory.

Technical data of the new console from Sony can not fail to please, but gamers were dissatisfied with the pricing policy of the company.

Here's What We Know

It is known that good things don't come cheap. But the cost of $700/€800 upset many people.

On forums and social networks gamers note that this price is overpriced, in addition, the disc drive and vertical stand are sold separately, which further increases the cost of the console.

Many game developers say that they have not yet used the capabilities of the basic PS5 and initially doubted the need to release an improved version of the device. Although, of course, for comfortable passing such blockbusters as GTA VI capabilities of PS5 may not be enough, especially since the performance of many modern games is already limited to 30 FPS.

In addition, many gamers did not like that the capabilities of PlayStation 5 Pro were demonstrated on the example of games, many of which were released on PS4. But here it should be noted that according to insider information at the end of September there will be a show State of Play, dedicated to new games, which should encourage gamers to buy a new console.

Analysts believe that the set price of the PS5 Pro will not affect its sales and predict that Sony will sell 1.3 million units by the end of this year and 13 million by the end of 2029.

We don't know how much the experts' predictions will come true, but for now we can state that the PS5 Pro presentation gathered much more dislikes than likes.
