  Shocking. When your entire customer base asks “why?” When you announce a product that’s usually a good indicator. Also wasn’t it like 800 dollars?

    $700, but I agree that this was a stupid product. If instead, they introduced the slim at $350 and the pro at $500, these things would be hard to find on store shelves.

    I wouldn’t know…I stopped falling for the console trap after PS3. Only thing since was a PS4 controller, for my PC

      This reminds me of the Q&A section on Amazon product pages where someone will answer a question stating that they don’t know because they didn’t buy the item.

      I wouldn't really call it a "trap". If you're buying a console when it's new at full price, sure, you're being taken for a ride, but give it a couple of years for stuff to be cheaper and it can work out reasonably well.

      I used to be a major PC gamer but eventually the cost/benefit calculation went completely off the rails.

  Well, it really hasn’t given me much reason to upgrade from my PS4 Pro. So…Yeah…

  PS3 backwards compatibility would’ve sold me though.

      Don’t forget emulated PS1 and PS2 games!

  I thought I was losing my mind after seeing all the PS5 Pro praise. Glad to see that the numbers matched what my expectations were.

  I do wonder if Sony bought out some influencers or something, because it was oddly counterintuitive amounts of praise.

  I wonder why…

  £800 for a console (£700 for digital) is actually ridiculous.

    It’s like a PC without the PC benefits.

      Normally, id agree. But with pc parts prices being what they are… Its still a “bargin”. I hate to use the word bargin here, because the pricing of both pc and consoles is insane
