PS5 Pro Selling Better Than PS4 Pro In ‘The Same *******’, Sony Says

Sony’s CFO, Hiroki Totoki, has gone on record suggesting that the PlayStation 5 Pro is selling just fine per the company’s expectations. In a recent statement, the CFO (also the firm’s COO) said that the PS5 Pro is ‘performing slightly stronger’ than the PS4 Pro did in the same ******* – in 2016.

He was frank in noting that Sony didn’t expect ‘large sales’ going into the manufacture of the console

, Hiroki Totoki explained how things were looking for the PS5 Pro, which was released on November 7:

It is a high-end product targeted at core customers, so we haven’t been eyeing a large sales plan to begin with.

I’m under the impression that the product is performing slightly stronger than the pre-orders of the PS4 Pro during the same *******, so I don’t think it is adversely affecting the product’s sales plan.

Critics were quick to point out how strange it sounds that the CFO is merely ‘under the impression’ that the console is selling well, but let’s ignore that for now.

Ahead of the release of the PS5 Pro, a few issues surfaced that many believed would hamper sales of the console. Firstly, the price point – at $699.99, the PS5 Pro is one of the most expensive consoles released in a very long time, but that doesn’t appear to have been a problem.

Also, users were concerned that the console wouldn’t make ‘enough of a difference’ to warrant the upgrade. It’s technically impressive, but many will be reluctant to purchase something new just to tease a few extra frames or a little more clarity out of their console.

Regardless, financial projections at Sony are on the up, and if Totoki’s statement is anything to go by, so are sales of the PS5 Pro. How many of those sales have been claimed by scalpers, though? At least there’s now so much stock available in some markets that they’re being forced to sell them at a loss…
