Also it looks like it entered mass production a few weeks ago

It's happening, but release date still seems to be between January to March 2025

Omg yeahhh I did hear it went into mass production recently. They need to get ahead before parts start to leak out like they have in the past 

Slayyy tho - I cannot waittt fro the reveal like whew

All I want for XMAS is $$$ to save for the Switch 2

Real gaming is so so back

I have a PS5 that lately I have been using to play the Batman Arkham games. 
 

If I didn’t have one already, I would consider buying the Pro version but I will save my coins for the next gen Switch and the numerous pop tours that might happen next year. 
 

If I really wanted one, I would resell my current PS5 and use that toward this version. I used to do that with my iPhones before they depreciate too much.

I don't understand all the complaining. 99% of people aren't even the target audience for this thing. The target audience already knew the specs because they keep up with this stuff and it's been leaking for months. This is just gonna pave the way for decent black Friday sales. And it'll tide a lot of people over for most of the PS6 cycle because it had the specs to better keep up.

Reject False Icons

Sony is forgetting what happened to the PS3 so let them get all cocky and crash and burn and beg again to people to use their console

The only thing that piques my interest is the ps5 boost feature which gives performance and resolution boosts to up to 8,500 PS4 games. I wanna play some of the older games so bad such as Black Flag or Dragon Age Inquisition but the blurry sub HD resolutions and bad FPS make it unplayable for me. I've really enjoyed the FPS boost feature on some of my Xbox games, this is kind of better because it has a resolution boost too. The price does seem insane, but when you consider people buy £1000 iPhones every year with a fraction of the power it makes sense the price is what it is.

All that waiting for this… and the graphical difference is so minor Maybe they should have emphasize the frame rate boost more bc graphics in general seem to be plateauing (at a good place tbf).

I think the future is physics, like we see in Yassstro Bottom - oh the gaming excellence that is

but like… I just don’t know who this is for. The many in question isn’t enough to save Sony from the embarrassing sales they’re about to endure

The enthusiasts got their PS5 already and most seem to not see it worth upgrading, and the regular consumers will gawk at the tag

So… “for some reason” stays bc other then tradition idk what this was needed for 

I mean... The only flaw here is the price tag being horrendous. If it was 600€ it'd be reasonable, but now, I can only see it dropping in price quite fast and that way it also drops down the price of regular PS5... :iamfair:

Adjusted for inflation (from 2021 because it was released late 2020), the PS5 in Euros launched for 583€. I feel like that's a decent price considering.

Nintendo is not directly competing with Sony. Half of Playstation owners also own a Switch.
