PS5 Pro…and criticism of Sony

According to “Aoki”, the company believes that the PS5 Pro is considered an “integrated package of features”, and will not attract the broad segment of gamers, who are more interested in owning gaming discs. He added: “It is an option available to players, as not all players use discs, although many… Some of them may do so…so with PS5 Pro we have the option to add this engine for those players.”
Aoki confirmed that the PS5 Pro is a device directed to a specific category of users who want to pay more to get an advanced technical experience, and based on the initial reviews, some may find that the device is worth every dollar paid for it, even though it is not the average upgrade that it was. Most users expect it from PlayStation.
