There is no mental gymnastics needed; some people have the cash while others have better use for that money. There is no right or wrong decision. You seem to be of the opinion that PS5 Pro is suppose to replace PS5, it isn't.
That is literally what fans are FOR. if you become a fan thinking you are going to SAVE money, you are very badly mistaken. Being a fan is about spending money, NOT saving money.
Not $700. Add in the disc drive, the stand and taxes. Plus the typical price padding Sony likes to do outside of the US.
Which is probably based on the CPU needs of games to hit stable 60fps. unlike last gen where performance modes on the base weren't really a thing but had to hit it on the pro and PSVR.
Not everyone needs a stand or disc drive. And taxes, yea, of course, are you also going to price in the gas to drive to the store too?
I think it's a test bed for future versions of PSSR and we get to pay a "premium" price to be beta testers to perfect this shit for PS6
Hundred less I'd have been on this but I can't justify that price on a console, it's the principle rather than the money, hopefully it's worth it for you.I think it's a test bed for future versions of PSSR and we get to pay a "premium" price to be beta testers to perfect this shit for PS6
All of you complaining about the price can thank us later
I don't blame anyone, wealthy or not, that passes on this simply because of the price

It may be 45% more powerful, but the games won’t be 45% better. Terrible value proposition.
It's 45% better than the PS5 while being almost 100% more expensive. And lacking the disc drive. Its not "premium" when its lacking features that the base model already has.
Value is subjective, but the value here is just ridiculously low for many.
Who is saying you have to buy it? Anyone?
Imagine buying a car.

Are you insane? How is that my problem is it on me to respond specifically to a general statement? If you say something, and you do not specify, and what you say is interpreted differently based on who listens... its on you. Not the listener.
Yeah, I'm not buying it, and I'm expressing why. That's kind of the point of a videogame forum, right?
At least Americans seem to be getting “the best” pricing. Euro pricing is artificially hiked up beyond currency exchange math. And for Canada, system + drive + stand is $1,100 excluding tax.
Its not all games either. Current or legacy titles have to be patched with a Pro update; much like the PS4 Pro before it.
People continue to buy them, indicating that they find value in the product.
Right, and if people don't loudly reject a terrible value like this we'll end up with Nvidia pricing for consoles.
Unless I’m wrong, I don’t think even any VR games are auto boosted. If they all got to be manually patched, good luck expecting games made by small studios bothering with it.
I already have a disc drive in my slim, which will go into my Pro, and my now disc-less slim will go in the bedroom. My entire library is digital. I have never in my life setup a console vertically, no need for the stand.
You're on a global forum, if you decide to challenge someone by ignoring the rest of the world because it's not your own region, then that's indeed your problem, because you're creating the problem.
Why do you guys have to do this... ok how about this. It may be $700 for some, but those people could just as easily buy the base PS5 if they don't already own one.
And when the 4090 launched people were lined up hoping to get one
And they will line up for the 5090. And the Pro will sell well.
Again...
Yes, they will offer the worst value for the most money to the extent that people will put up with it. The trick is to convince them that offering a good value for a reasonable price is the direction you want them to take. And the way you convince them is by collectively opening or closing your wallets. I can see the downvotes on the YouTube Announcement trailer. This is a very unpopular value proposition, and it's another L they didn't need after Concord.Veblen good - Wikipedia

People are going to buy this thing, and it's the people Sony wants to buy it, and it's the price they want to charge for it. They have no intention of it replacing the PS5 or being a mass market device.
Yes, this isn't a 4090. I think the PS5 Pro will sell out initially, but once the scalpers and diehards have theirs, it's going to become very available very quickly.
Yeah, it's not like every single price was listed at the same time during the PS5 pro reveal (and every previous console reveal), I guess you just saw that €800 and saw hieroglyphs instead.
