Comment on [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

        It’s not console exclusive, though

  And no drive, so it’s not like it only does movies

    I can’t wait to buy movies from Sony only to have them invalidated a few years from now.

  I think everyone should ditch consoles too, but I don’t understand the “no games” comment, I’ve played through Elden Ring, Returnal, Final Fantasy 16, Final Fantasy 7 Intergrade, Ratchet & Clank, Gran Turismo 7…

  There are clearly games for it, what gives?

    There are only like 2 or 3 games that can only be played on a PS5 and nowhere else. Exclusives are one of, of not the most important part of getting a console, IMO. Like, why would I get this specific console if I could get any console or a PC and play the same games?

    Most of the PS5’s exclusive games are actually just PS4 games and don’t even have the enhancement features offered by the PS5’s hardware. If you have a PS4, there’s really no reason to upgrade to a PS5 unless you really wanna play the Demon Souls remaster or Astro Bot.

      All that stuff about exclusive games just sounds like sunk cost fallacy. I don’t understand how a consumer benefits in any way from exclusive titles, or how a consumer is harmed from having access to multiplatform games.

      If someone gets a PS5 for a PS5 exclusive game, why wouldn’t they want the option to play other games on there as well?

      I do ultimately agree with you though, the PS5 Pro is dumb - and neither the regular PS5 nor any Xbox seems worthwhile compared to PC gaming

        It’s gotta have some reason to buy it. If it’s not the price, and it’s not the power, it’s the library. Sunk costs don’t even come into play for someone who is looking to get a game machine trying to decide what to buy.
