[Tom Warren] The PS5 Pro still hasn’t sold out in the US or UK. Looks like the $700 price point will mean this console will be readily available this holiday (lemmy.world)

Curious to how the lone downvoter views this topic. They disagree with me apparently, but on what point? The fact that people don't want to spend $700+ on a marginal upgrade? Do they though? The fact that we're in a recession? We are though. They bought a PS5 Pro and are actively experiencing buyer's remorse so they have to chime in on every PS5 Pro post with a symbolic "nuh uh"? Probably.

Not the down voter, but as a day 1 PS5 buyer who could afford the pro I will just say they didn't offer any value to me. I've played 1 game on the PS5 that I couldn't have on my base PS4 (Demon's Souls) and I could play the original of that on my PS3. They promised all of this great stuff on the PS5 and under delivered. Why would I put down the $700 why would I spend that when I hardly even use my PS5 and even when I do I could've just used my PS4?

I'm not arguing for or against being a recession. But the sales for this console don't prove or deny a recession, they just show that either no one actually wants this thing or Sony has managed to misjudge demand.
