No, its biggest problem is that it’s outrageously expensive. At its core it’s a four year old console selling for significantly more than release price.
Here are Playstation release prices adjusted for inflation and rounded:
PS4 $540
PS4 Pro $520
PS5 Digital $490
PS5 Pro $700
A similar relative price point to the PS4 Pro would have seen the PS5 Pro release for $470; and at that price it would likely have been popular, even without any really meaningful upgrades.
Yes, but since the pro doesn’t have a disc reader it’s more comparable to the Digital.
It also doesn’t matter, when compared to the standard model the Pro is still a shit deal as it released for 500$. (And came with a disc reader and a vertical stand, which are over 100$ extra for the Pro.)
Yeah, one of the pieces of the equation that pushed me to get a PS5 was not being sure how much longer my remaining PS3 controller would last and not having any other device to play Blu rays. Not that I’ve even watched any on my ps5 or even have all that many.

Is there not a PS5 standard? Just digital and pro?

I forgot the pro doesn’t have a disk reader. Insane.
