A fan render of what is likely to be Sony’s next big hardware release I’ve seen a lot of discussion recently about whether the PS5 Pro is a good idea or not for Sony. There was a letter to the Inbox, earlier in the week, that I found myself agreeing with 100%, that basically said that it was the last thing Sony should be concentrating on right now, for a number of good reasons.
The problems with the PS5 Pro go beyond just the inherent unfairness of mid-gen console updates, because it makes Sony look like they’re a hardware-only company that are only interested in selling the latest slab of consumer electronics and don’t even bother with games anymore. Will they suddenly unveil a bunch of new games at The Game Awards in December? Maybe, but probably not.
