    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.
