In an interview with IGN, Toshi Aoki, chief product manager for the PlayStation sector at Sony, explained that the high price is justified thanks to the advanced technology that the company provided on board the PlayStation 5 Pro, and said, “The technologies we are adding aim to provide new experiences for players.” It comes with storage improvements with an SSD solid-state storage drive, support for the advanced generation of Wi-Fi 7 wireless internet networks, and other technologies that surround the gaming experience.
PS5 Pro…and criticism of Sony
The criticism that Sony faced about the PS5 Pro did not stop at the price, including that it did not include a disc drive, which would force users to buy a separate external drive worth $80.
Although Sony had tested this step before with the PS5 Slim, the latter came with a separate disc player inside the box.
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.
