The launch of the PS5 Pro, priced at 799.99 euros, has sparked a series of negative reactions among players and market analysts. This price has been considered excessive, directly affecting the sales of the console compared to its predecessor, the PS4 Pro. Industry experts have pointed out that the acceptance of the PS5 Pro has been lower, which could indicate a commercial failure for Sony.

PlayStation 5 Pro is not meeting expectations

As the months have accumulated since its launch, Sony has implemented various strategies to boost sales, such as discounts and promotions that include free accessories. However, these moves are interpreted as an indication that initial expectations have not been met. Despite these actions, the company has chosen not to break down the specific sales figures between the PS5 Pro and the standard model, making it difficult to accurately assess the performance of the more expensive console.

Players have also expressed concern about the future of the franchise, warning that if the PS6 maintains similar prices, many will refrain from making the purchase. This trend suggests a growing disinterest in high-priced acquisitions, which could influence upcoming releases in a market that is already facing economic uncertainties.

Analyst Mat Piscatella has firmly stated that “PS5 Pro has fallen behind the sales pace of PS4 Pro,” thus reflecting the widespread concern about the success of the new hardware. In this context, Sony faces a painful reality: consumer perception is changing, and if prices are not adjusted, the future of its consoles could be at stake.
