I don't think PS5 Pro is going to have explosive sales aside from early adopters. It's going to be probably $600, more likely $700?

So much cheaper than an iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max with just a few AAA games.

  • iPhone 15 Pro: £/$999 / €1149 (128GB) up to £/$1499 / €1829 (1TB)
  • iPhone 15 Pro Max: £/$1199 / €1449 (256GB) up to £/$1599 / €1949 (1TB)

No one needs a game console, even less so the audience that needs one for $700 because they want shiny reflections on windows, most people need their smartphone day to day and wouldn't be caught dead leaving home without it. It's the first thing they look at when they wake up, they carry it around with them all day at work or school, etc. etc. etc. 

If Sony ever sold 26-27 million Playstations in a year, it would be a record breaking year for them. Apple sold 55 million iPhones in Q1 2023 (meaning three months only) ... lol. 

You're comparing apples and oranges. A game console will never ever come close to sales of an iPhone. You could combine Nintendo and Sony together and it still wouldn't even be close. 

By the way if Nintendo had actually offered a Switch Pro ... it would basically have been a PS4 Portable to begin with. 400 gigaflops undocked/800 gigaflops docked would easily run every PS4/XB1 game at fairly good settings at that. A Switch 2 wouldn't have been needed for that, it was already able to run several challenging PS4 games as is, if you bump the horsepower any further than that it would start to run those games fairly easily. 

Maybe this gen they will offer a real deal Switch 2 Pro, the pandemic with parts shortages I think killed any chance of a Switch 1 Pro.
