PS5 Pro sales will follow similar trajectory to PS4 Pro, analyst predicts
Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Noteable games analyst Piers Harding-Rolls of Ampere Analysis expects the PS5 Pro’s sales to follow a very similar trend to those of the PS4 Pro, even with that rather high price tag.
Yesterday, Sony announced the long-rumoured digital-only PS5 Pro. This souped-up version of the PlayStation 5 will allow for Fidelity level graphics at Performance level frame rates, but it comes with a cost. When it goes on sale later this year, it will retail at £700 for those of us here in the UK. Another £100 is then required to purchase the separate disc drive with a further £25 to buy the vertical stand.
The price point differential between the original PlayStation 5 and PS5 Pro is “between 40-50 percent”, Harding-Rolls noted, adding this is “significantly more than the differential between the PS4 and PS4 Pro” on its launch.
