Who would have thought that in the midst of a cost of living crisis impacting the entire planet... That a higher priced console would falter?

It's a solid piece of technology, it's just at an incorrect price... And this is the same exact issue with the GPU market, there isn't a "bad GPU" in AMD or nVidia's lineup, just poorly priced ones.

Even if the price was better, I don't think the PS5 Pro would be doing well. There are few games that take advantage of the hardware. Not only was the PS4 Pro priced better, it had games that showed a real benefit to owning one. Has there been any really good Pro implementations out side of Stellar Blade? I guess Rebirth was okay too.

Even ignoring the games side of the equation, there were intrinsic benefits to the PS4 Pro.. Like games would load faster. (Thanks to faster CPU and HDD).

Price is the biggest factor... Remember for years console gamers screeched that PC's couldn't compete because of higher pricing... Well. Welcome to PC pricing console gamers, took you awhile to join the club.
PS5 Pro at $1,200 AUD is more than my "Gaming Laptop" with an RTX 4060 which I got on sale for less than $900 AUD.

Apparently maths isn't one of your strengths.

Xbox Series X|S will sell around 20 million units less than the Xbox One in its lifetime, but Sony hasn't inherited any of that as the PS5 has been selling less than the PS4 up to the same point in the lifecycle.

The most popular games are games like Minecraft, Fortnite. Roblox, Rocket League, GTA 5... And there has been literally zero point for people to upgrade from their Xbox One and Playstation 4 to the next-gen just for those titles.
