Did the Pro consoles sale out last gen though? Mid gen refreshes are a new thing so we can't really compare it to a normal console release.

Pre-orders I remember sold out, but they were readily available at launch. Like you could walk into a store at launch and still get a PS4 Pro.

What's also different this time around though is the pre-orders for the PS4 Pro were where you would expect such as GameStop, Amazon, Best Buy, etc. but with the PS5 Pro, you can currently only buy it on the PS Store. Which with their only being a single source to buy the console, I figured pre-orders would at least have still sold out.

We obviously don't know how many pre-order units Sony made available for either PS4 Pro or PS5 Pro. They could have had few available for retailers in 2016 but a huge amount available on PS Store in 2024, so there's still question marks until sales figures start to come in. 

Yea we really wont not for certain until numbers come out. Will be interesting to see how it performed one way or the other. I know people are pissed about the price but I don't have much of an issue with it since it's not mandatory and IMO the base PS5 works very well (while the base PS4 was a PIA to use). I already have mine preordered but I plan on selling my slim PS5 and thankfully I still have the box and everything. I had to buy a new PS5 this year (thunderstorm took out my original) knowing the pro was also coming.
