They're charging new-gen console money for new-gen console hardware upgrades, but all the games are still being made for the non-pro PS5, and they will continue to be made for the old hardware until the PS6 launches, so there's no reason to upgrade.

Same reason I'm perfectly happy with my Series S. The only substantial difference between it and the Series X are the storage space and disc drives, and I play gamepass games almost exclusively.

I think the main price issue is that they're charging nearly twice as much as the base console for what is charitably going to be half a generation of gaming on it.

If it was launched this way on day one of PS5 launch it would have been a much more attractive proposition. But the reality is we're probably like three years from a PS6 that will eclipse it in every way while running games this one cannot.

Yeah.

The only real reason to own this console is if you want improved performance on a $10,000 TV that you sit too close to.
