The PlayStation 5 Pro: A Controversial Price Tag
Sony Interactive Entertainment has unveiled the PlayStation 5 Pro, a more powerful version of its latest console. However, all the technological advancements and performance benefits for running games are being completely overshadowed by the conversation surrounding the price, which has become a sour topic.
In the hours following the announcement of the PS5 Pro and its €799 price tag, social media and forums have seen a wave of criticisms, with thousands of people expressing their surprise and discontent with Sony’s chosen price for the console. While most were expecting an expensive console, few could have imagined a €799 price tag, especially when it costs $699 in the United States. This significant difference is fueling even more criticism from Europeans.
Whether in the United States, Europe, Canada, or Japan, the official PlayStation channels on social media are flooded with messages from fans who are incredulous about the prices presented. In addition to criticizing the price, which they consider high even for the most hardcore gamers, they believe it is in bad taste to ask for so much money for a console without a physical disc drive.
Global Displeasure
The disappointment with the PlayStation 5 Pro’s price has united fans around the world in expressing their discontent. Whether it’s the absence of a disc drive or the high cost, the community is making their voices heard.
