Tbh, most people would drop more than the price difference on clothes that they will never wear. Just look at the new car market. Hardly anyone buys the cheap model, so for a couple of hundred bucks, I don’t think anyone really cares about this. If they have the disposable income, they will probably just buy the pro because of the perception that they are buying the best.
Also it’s a fucking console in a universe where PCs exist.
You will need to pay at least twice as much for a PC if you want games to run as nice as they do on PS5
AMD rx 6800 is $350 said to be equivalent.
Even if you build your PC with PS5 equivalents, you are most likely to pay at least a bit more for the whole package, and - most importantly - games still won’t run as smooth as they do on PS5.
Console games are optimized to work best specifically with their hardware
Maybe, but you’d have to have more than a dozen exclusive titles for that to matter much compared to the thousands available for PC.
It did not matter to me when I was buying PS5 last year, so that’s not a general rule
What did matter, however, was the PS Plus collection. I you don’t want to sail under Jolly Roger, that’s a huge factor
I had a PS4 pro. Didn’t feel any tangible benefits over the standard model.
It was the only last gen console to run Cyberpunk 2077 with a stable framerate. First party exclusives made good use of it too.
