Rumors about the PlayStation 5 Pro console are getting louder. Even some time ago it was circulated that this PS5 upgrade would only be released in a digital model. That means Sony will be eliminating the disc model this time if the rumors are true.
But why is Sony not selling a model with a disc? Isn’t that the appeal of their consoles all along? It turns out the reason behind all this may have an impact on the retail price later.
Sony Needs to Lower PS5 Pro Price, May Be Forced to Release Digital-Only
Leaks that are said to be PS5 Pro designs
There is no official word yet, but rumors are circulating that Sony may not release a disc version this time for the PlayStation 5 Pro. The reason is pretty obvious if you’ve been following Sony news lately.
It is possible that the Japanese console manufacturer will have difficulty in lowering the selling price if it insists on releasing the disc model. This has also been proven to some extent by the increase in the price of the PS5 in Japan last week.
So, according to tech experts from Digital Foundry, it would be wiser for Sony to only release one model, namely digital only, rather than releasing both.
Will the PS5 Be a Niche Console?
So a niche console?
The decision to release two models at once will also be a scary gamble. Given the popularity of the PS4 Pro compared to the base PS4 which has a ratio of 20:80, there is a possibility that the PS5 Pro will also be a niche console.
However, by releasing the digital model and skipping the disc version, it is likely to cause chaos among the general public. Especially many of them who prefer physical copies in disc form.
