    That announcement stream was so weird. 4 minutes of Mark Cerny talking about the features of the PS5 like it didn’t come out 4 years ago, 3 minutes of explaining the PS5 Pro “Big 3” features of GPU upgrade, advanced ray tracing, and PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution, and 2 minutes of trailers that looked too (heh) similar to current PS5 gameplay. It’s like they know that it’s impossible to make a new console look good in trailers anymore, so they just rushed to get it over with because everyone has already decided whether or not they want to pay even more for an upgraded PS5.

    At least the price for the base PS5 should come down on the used market?

      Not if Pro is priced @ 700 USD lol

      i doubt it performs 40% better so audience are people who got extra money and care about higher FPS

        I guess my thinking was that people will sell their base PS5 after they buy the Pro, and basic supply-and-demand says that more PS5’s on the used market equals lower prices. It might not come down a lot, but I think it will come down.

      We are at a point of extreme diminishing returns when it comes to video game visuals. Not saying that games can’t look better than they already do, but the improvements are miniscule.
