Sony recently announced the PS5 Pro, causing an uproar among fans due to its high price and lack of significant upgrades.
PS5 Pro Announcement Details
Sony recently revealed PS5 Pro details in an announcement covering all the features and the launch date. However, fans immediately expressed dissatisfaction with the set price of $700 USD. According to them, the new console does not offer enough compared to the previous model, especially given the lack of a disc drive and new games.
Social Media User Reactions
A user on X [complained](https://x.com/AnthropicDualiT/status/1833610483057709375) that no disc drive is worth it and that even if the console offers 2TB SSD, the price should have been maximum up to $650 USD. Results of a poll on X show 77.8% negative response. Total votes are currently 1,784. On Reddit, a [thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/PS5/comments/1fdk912/welcome_playstation_5_pro_the_most_visually/) by user Turbostrider27 received more than 10,000 negative comments. The trailer and announcement are also receiving increasing dislike counts.
Graphics Comparison and Launch Perspectives
Users are also sharing their comparisons of the graphics improvements that PS5 Pro offers. Replies under the comparison [tweets](https://x.com/dravszoo1/status/1635596908096901122) show no significant differences that would justify the price gap. In recent days, the internet has been filled with praise for the Astro Bot launch on PlayStation, but now the PS5 Pro is trending with almost all negative responses. The PS5 Pro is scheduled for pre-orders on September 26, with an official launch on November 7. There has been no response from Sony regarding the price backlash. Recently, PlayStation had to shut down its multiplayer shooter game, [Concord](https://www.cryptopolitan.com/sony-removes-concord-from-playstations/), due to a lack of players. A similar situation can be anticipated with the PS5 Pro launch, as players are reluctant to buy it at the current price.
Sony has yet to respond to the price criticism, leaving the future of PS5 Pro in question. It is anticipated that sales could mirror the recent shutdown of the multiplayer game Concord.
