I see a lot of outrage about the price. But really, what's the alternative? Inflation has been nuts and most things are up. GPU alone would cost more than the console, if you're building a pc.
I will say though, no disc drive is a real shit move. Just a few years ago it was like, "here's the price, and here's the price if you don't want a disk drive." Now it's the opposite and that part is definitely annoying.
I agree, I don't think there's anything Sony can do about the cost. Manufacturing costs aren't going down over time like they used to in the past. That's why there haven't been any price cuts this gen.
I think the PS5 Pro was just a doomed concept to begin with. There's nothing they could do to make games look noticeably better without making the console outrageously expensive or requiring devs to do an unreasonable amount of work to support it.
If a product doesn’t make sense, invest in other products instead. First party games. Psvr2 is all but abandoned,
