| KBG29 said: I just want the best device Sony can put out at the time. No more holding back, put out a real high end PS5, a $1,000+ model that can go toe to toe with Microsoft's exclusives on PC. If they launch with a high and low version, then I want a higher version at 5nm and another higher version at 3nm. If it has to be $299.99, $599.99, $999.99, and $1,499 then make it happen. Let us choose the level we want to expereince of PlayStation Software at. If we have an 8K Display and 11.2 Surround, then give us a PS5 model to take advantage of them. If they all play the same games, but range from 1080p - 8K/60, then what issue can someone have. If you have a 1080p TV, then get the $299.99 1080p version, if you have an 8K TV and 11.2 Surrond, then upgrade to the $1,499 model when it arrives. Options are a thing with every other electronics device on the market. You pay for the level of expereince you want. With PS5 Pro, I want them to stop holding back PlayStation for offering cutting edge tech. I also want to see PSVR itterations in the same vein. Sony offers 20+ new TV models every year. Now I don't think we need 20 PSVR options each year, but a model optimized for each PS5 version would be nice. Of course, I would like to see a Mobile PS5, with regular revisions as well. |
Of course you do accept this is never happening, and makes no business sense, right?
To answer the OP: I don't think a PS5 Pro is happening. Not only has the PS4 Pro not actually sold that well, but in my opinion, the only reason it was created was because 4K was adopted quicker than anticipated, and Sony wanted to gauge not only how their consumer base would adopt such a device, but how developers would support it. The results aren't exactly very encouraging. 8K is exponentially more resource intensive than 4K (much like 4K is to 1080p) which would make the processing requirements for 8K ridiculous while have even more significant diminishing returns. the difference between 8K and 4K will be even less noticeable at a glance than 4K to 1080p is. Considering poorly even high end gaming PCs run games at 4K, I suspect it'll be quite a while before developers are actually coming close to making 8K a standard that a hardware manufacturer will want to touch beyond maybe playing video files. It's just not worth the effort, expense, or investment and won't be for quite some time.
