In recent days, console gamers have been very excited about Sony providing the latest information about the PlayStation 5 Pro, along with details about the price, release date, and additional upgrade features of this system. However, it is worth mentioning that, right after this information was confirmed, most Vietnamese gamers are expressing dissatisfaction with what this system can bring.
Accordingly, the most obvious thing is that most gamers feel that the price of $ 700 is not expensive, but if compared with the upgrades compared to the normal PlayStation version, it is not reasonable at all. For example, a recent survey on IGN showed that more than 80% of participants would not buy this latest product from Sony. It's also simple when it is not difficult to list the shortcomings of the PlayStation 5 Pro. From the lack of a stand, no drive and stand included as well as the design is not special. Many gamers even think that with such a price, building a PC would be cheaper and more economical and much better. In particular, the PlayStation 5 Pro controller does not have an upgrade in battery life as many people expect, but the price has increased by $ 5.
However, there are still many opposing opinions defending the PlayStation 5 Pro. The point of view is that the price of $ 700 is not expensive, especially when the system's hard drive is a 2TB SSD by default. Not to mention that building a PC that can handle 4K/60 FPS resolution for $ 700 seems to be not very feasible. And even if it can be done, there is still another reason for gamers to own a PlayStation 5 Pro soon. That is to prepare for the release of GTA 6. If gamers spend $ 700 to build a PC, they will only be able to play GTA 6 on “YouTube”.
Currently, the controversy over the PlayStation 5 Pro is still quite heated on many forums. It seems that 2024 is not a very successful year for Sony. The expected console was met with much controversy when it was announced, while Concord – the company's potential blockbuster project – was even shut down early after only two short weeks.
