Analysts: despite the high price, PlayStation 5 Pro will sell at the same level as PS4 Pro

On 10 September, Sony officially announced PlayStation 5 Pro. Although many criticise it for its high price, the official price of PS5 Pro is $700 in the US and €800 in Europe. However, analysts say that the console will sell at the same level as PS4 Pro.

Here's What We Know

Pierce Harding-Rolls, director of gaming research at Ampere Analysis, expects Sony to sell about 1.3 million PS5 Pro units when the console launches in 2024. This is down slightly from the 1.7 million PS4 Pro sold at launch in 2016.

According to Ampere, PS4 Pro sales reached 14.5 million units, accounting for about 12% of total PS4 sales. The company forecasts similar dynamics for the PS5 Pro, with sales of around 13 million units by 2029.

The lack of competition means it's easier for Sony to set a higher price to protect its existing profits
