No, its biggest problem is that it's outrageously expensive. At its core it's a four year old console selling for significantly more than release price.

Here are Playstation release prices adjusted for inflation and rounded:

  • PS4 $540
  • PS4 Pro $520
  • PS5 Digital $490
  • PS5 Pro $700

A similar relative price point to the PS4 Pro would have seen the PS5 Pro release for $470; and at that price it would likely have been popular, even without any really meaningful upgrades.

Is there not a PS5 standard? Just digital and pro?
