I had already expressed my opinion on this subject a few months ago, when I stated that it didn't make much sense to launch a PS5 Pro, which would always have to be more expensive compared to the current PS5, when Sony's “new generation” console was delayed for so long to be available on the market for the vast majority of players.
It is undeniable that despite being on the market for almost 4 years, the PlayStation 5 still feels like a novelty, and as such, there are still many consumers looking for a unit, now with some promotions under their belt.
However, everything indicates that the PS5 Pro will actually be a reality on the market in October or November 2024.
Does PlayStation 5 Pro make sense in 2024? Studios have doubts!
Therefore, the PS5 Pro is so real, that we have even had 'leaks' of technical specifications and even features. All we can say is the design and the final price of the console.
But, amidst so many certainties regarding the launch of the Sony console, there are also many doubts regarding the meaning that all this makes. After all, even the development studios are impressed by the 'leaks', stating that they do not understand Sony's objective with this console.
Yes, it is undeniable that the PS5 Pro will sell!
Especially if it is released immediately before the new Grand Theft Auto 6. However, the studios are not showing the same kind of interest in the new version. This is because all games will continue to be made for the original model, and of course, developers have not yet been able to unlock the full performance potential of the 'base' PlayStation 5.
In fact, if GTA 6 is delayed, which seems increasingly certain… Sony ends up launching a console without any games to take advantage of it.
Let's see how this goes.
