Will It be Enough to Make Fans Upgrade Spending $699.99?

Sony has just announced the highly talked-about upgraded version of the PS5 console, which will be launching in November. The PS5 Pro is a powerful machine with a stronger GPU and increased memory speed for better performance, among other things.

The Pro version is currently priced at $699.99, which is a huge leap from the base model, priced at $459.99. Not all fans are willing to spend the extra money on getting an unnecessary upgraded version for a console when its base version itself has not been tested well over its limits.

Fans Do Not Want To Spend Extra For PS5 Pro

There is no concrete reason for upgrading from the base model to PS5 Pro. Image Credit: Sony

The base model of the PS5 in itself is a very powerful machine capable of amazing things. However, it is being claimed that the PS5 Pro is capable of things that were considered to be impossible before, making it the most powerful gaming console on the market yet.

The PS5 Pro introduces a larger GPU with an increase in the speed of the memory it uses, ray tracing for enhanced details that allow players to enjoy better graphical quality at higher frame rates, and lastly, AI upscaling of visuals for better and improved resolution.

However, as enticing as the upgrades sound, the reality is that they do not justify in any way to dump the PS5 for a Pro version. The base variant itself is capable of providing an amazing gaming experience with an unnoticeable difference to a consumer’s eyes.

There are many players who have boycotted Sony’s decision to give a Pro version 4 years after the release of the base variant instead of working on the next big PS6.

Players are leaning towards buying a powerful PC for the same amount instead of spending an exuberant amount on PS5 Pro.

The current price at which the console is placed is extremely high for an average person to even think about buying it. This also contributes to the backlash faced by Sony.

PS5 Can Still Do Everything PS5 Pro Claims To Do Better With Ease

One can still go for the upgrade if they feel they can utilize the power it can offer. Image Credit: Sony

There is no valid reason whatsoever to upgrade an already powerful console to make it more powerful than you would ever be able to utilize. The limits of the base version of the console are yet to be tested, and on top of that, when the Pro version debuts, the gap between the two does not increase much.

There are still some people who are willing to upgrade to the latest console, and that is absolutely fine if you are someone who feels they can utilize the power it has to offer.

Yea, already called my local vendor and booked me one
