Is the PS5 PRO an utterly useless device at launch? Reviews are out now.

It's the replacement of the slim consoles.

Can't make em smaller anymore, add some more disk space, better screen / battery life, better gpu or whatever to sell more.

The revisions / upgrades sell, therefore they get made. It's just as 'necessary' as upgrading your phone or GPU every year / 2 years. 

I agree somewhat, but those slims were usually half the price of the launch model and sometimes even less than that, not more. They were more efficient, more dependable and at a more consumer friendly price. These pro models are definitely not that lol

True, but that's also due to many other circumstances.

You can buy a pro or buy the base console at a higher price now than at release :(
Consoles go up in price during the generation now instead of down. /facepalm

PS5 slim is now CAD 650 here, I bought the PS5 at launch for CAD 630...
PS5 slim digital is now CAD 580, was CAD 500 at launch.
