Yeah... that's 200% for the Xbox comparison

Besides, that's rounding down and lowballing the GPU that will base the PS5 Pro's, which should have at least twice as many transistors as the Navi-22-like GPU in the PS5 and outperform it by 70%-240% depending on the computational task (assuming conservative clock speeds).

How good it'll be depends on how well developers can leverage the architecture. In practice, it'll be closer to the PS5 base than the Series S is to the Series X, but not to the extent you suggest.

This is a nonsense take. Games are most likely targeted for PS5/XSX as first priority on consoles. Then XSS. If this is anything like the PS4 Pro/XBO X we'd see more performance modes and resolution options verses base model. And the base model being main dev platform.

Take most current games with fidelity mode right now can't even reach 4K using DSR or need some sort of upscaling to reach that res. If this is 2x performance in normal rasterization and 2-2.5x in Raytracing, we could finally see most if not all games running at least 1800P. And a lot more games with locked 60 and higher DSR and fidelity at 4K. With titles using Raytracing getting a massive bump in resolution and FPS.

Still all rumors ofc so all hypothetical.

No question PS5 base will hold PS5Pro down, that is part of being same generation and ensuring 100% compatibility. So we will get similar stuff as last gen, better performance, stable framerate and better Ray Tracing, also possibly better PSVR2 output.

Just sell it when the pro releases. You can get lots of money for consoles if they are in good condition, even better with original box, especially during the holidays.

The key is to keep it in good condition, with the original box, so it is suitable for gifting. 

I almost forgot about that. 

I didn't think it was going to be a big deal, but the PS4 Pro really was annoyingly loud.  People talked about that a lot though, so I would think Sony will try to do noticeably better this time around. 

It has to be priced $499.  It isn't spectacular enough to go higher than that.

I don't think there's any serious issue with it being too big to physically fit the space. But the thing is very large, and has a distinctive look. I can see a wife not allowing that thing in a living room. 

Exactly. You can literately sell you ps5 in 1 year easy for 380$ on offer up. for all we know PS5 pro might not even come out, just like switch pro which was heavily rumored for years.

I was someone who almost exclusively gamed on Nintendo for a long time until I get a PS4 Pro in 2019. I got a PS5 in 2022. There's no real reason for me to get a PS5 Pro unless it has SSD functionality similar to the Xbox Series. After my M2 died after 8 months of use, I'm not in the mood to fiddle with another one.
Even then, paying $400-$600 just to have some better specs and potentially a better storage situation is still a tall order.

These two lines are a bit irritating:

• Been in development since early 2022
• 30 WGP and 18000mts Memory

The memory speed is obscure. Probably he means 18Gbps chips (PS5 has 14Gbps chips).

The development start is obviously nonsense. The Cerny patent was revealed early 2022 (patents roughly are revealed 1 year after they enter the patent is granted stage). A PS5 Pro has to bring "new stuff" onto the table, simply adding a few cus don't make sense here (unlike the PS4 Pro that needed the beefed up gpu to bring PSVR titles up to usable speeds). In any case, a PS5 Pro was very likely thought about as early as the PS5 SoC went into design stage.

The whole thing reads like a clickbait article with a few "safe guesses".
