PS5 Pro too costly for you? Sony will soon start selling refurbished PS5 consoles for a fraction of the price (www.eurogamer.net)

There's something unsettling about all this. They are selling ps5 pro at an insane price tag. What's going to happen when PS6 is released? Are they going to sell it under the price of the pro? Probably not. So it means PS6 will probably have a starting price of, at least ps5, pro price tag. Are we going to see the next gen at prices over 1000€?

Don't call it next-gen. Thats just marketing bullshit for enhanced previous generation.

There wasn't any real improvement since ps1 release. It's only getting slightly better in graphics, fps, color management, AI upscaling. That's all, nothing more.

We are slowly hitting a roadblock of graphical evolution... The "real" next-gen would be something that will leave you jaw dropping, like it did with the first ps1 release. That was a next-generation release.

Right now they are just trying their best to sell some little improvement here and there calling it next-gen console... Humpf !

What you describe is often referred as a “generational leap”.

Thanks :) I don't hate on consoles, they are cool stuff, however I get angry on all those stupid marketing terms just to sell you 20 more fps or some new fancy AI upscaling to fake some 4k quality on 90% of games.

Be it Microsoft, Sony or whatever... Just plain stupid marketing liars...
