PS5 Pro: A New, Expensive Way to Play PS4 Games – Next-Gen Console Watch



Welcome back to Next-Gen Console Watch! This week, Daemon is joined by Max Scoville from IGN’s PlayStation podcast, Podcast Beyond, and Ryan McCaffrey from Unlocked, IGN’s Xbox podcast. The topic: the newly announced PS5 Pro and whether it justifies its $700 price tag. Did Sony’s PS5 Pro Technical Presentation do enough to convince gamers that a mid-gen upgrade is worth the investment? Does this foreshadow the future of console prices?

  1. The best thing Xbox could do now is make an even MORE powerful system and have it run GTA 6 at 60fps 4K. It is such a bummer that the ps5 pro wont even run it at 60fps (if reports are to be believed)

  2. at 11:36 he called us "we're all nerds, we're all gamers"…

    so your telling me that if a gangster were to play these games, that gangster is a nerd too???

    im confused, are they gangsters that terrifies and bullies people or are they nerds who are into tech etc. because if your saying that they are both then that gangster should be kicked out of the gang, but yet they see gaming as a cool thing too, topsy turvy world.

  3. Who cares…barely any true ps5 exclusives…hope they don’t mess up ps6 and its exclusives

  4. Brutal. Maybe if it had an upgraded CPU and a disc drive you could be ok with 700

  5. Aldi's upgrades that the PlayStation 5 pro has would all be worth it if they had any games coming on the market but there are none until 2026 so what is the point in buying a PlayStation pro in the first place

  6. "not solving a provlem" yet every game is split into performance and quality mode, sometimes even performance rt and quality rt
    Ps5 pros putpose is to give the best of all these options
    Its like asking what issue does the next nvidi GPU solve. None it just improves performance snd graphics further

  7. Did you make a video about the £600 Gary glitter edition series X with zero upgrades and your on about the pro for the sake of £99

  8. Microsoft is selling their 2TB console for $599.99 without any upgrade. I’ve never used my stand and the disc drive is an older form of media that only older folks are concerned about. There’s literally people going from all digital libraries. Why does anyone buy a new GPU for their PC? Does that do anything for them? The games will run so much smoother. The games are coming. It’s not about how clear it looks it’s how smooth it is. The games are choppy as hell and screen tearing is clearly there for games like Rebirth.

  9. Sony has now created the perfect market place for consoles… 

    Through their website: you can sell your old console to upgrade to your new console… that they then sell refurbished directly to gamers…
    Now, you can buy:
    350 dollar refurbished PS5 
    500 dollar PS5 slim
    700 dollar PS5 Pro

    So if you have a PS4 or PS4 Pro and get a 150/200 dollar credit, or a 300 PS5 credit; that 700 dollar PS5 Pro looks pretty tempting…

  10. Nintendo did it better with Switch OLED. People questioned the lack of more powerful hardware but honestly they don't need it. Ppl still buy Switch, and a modest $50 increase for OLED screen that is both bigger and better is much more compelling than a system that is $250 more expensive for 1TB more SSD and pixel peeping improvements…

  11. The PlayStation 6 will probably cost over $1000. Sony will try to justify the price by doing everything in their power to make it happen. If AMD doesn't take market share by next year, Sony will have no choice but to go to Nvidia.

  12. All this b.s. over this. IT WILL SELL! It will sell like crazy. Only the broke m.f.s complaining. Get your money right ppl!

  13. People are sheep and ps5 pro will sell out. Disc drive sold out everywhere. Scalpers are going to have a hey day with this.

  14. If y’all are complaining so much about the price just go buy the 2TB Xbox Series X with no games for $599! Let me know how that goes for ya!!!

  15. How is this not solving a problem? Umm it’s solving the problem of 4K visuals being limited to 30 FPS with PS5 Pro the games will be 4K 60 FPS!

  16. Sounds completely pointless to trade in a PS5 slim for Pro, just for GTA 6 which may not be hitting 60fps anyway. If so, remember to take the disc drive out lol

  17. Just picked up my disk drive from Gamestop today! Bring on the Pro!!!

  18. This is so dramatic. It’s just another console option. You can always just buy a base PS5. People are so up and arms about it. It’s like gamers have a right to a new console 😂

  19. No way to spend that much for a mid Gen system. Can wait for ps6 and Xbox series y

  20. This generation ps5s was very weak. No enough good games to explore the potential of this consoles
