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.
you did not just make a whole comment responding to one single downvote
You got one too you better go talk to 'em, it wasn't me though I swear
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.
