damn ... 4 years puts it in maybe territory, and this also assumes I get ps6 on day one which even that is a maybe. But did the ps4 pro come out at the same point in the generation or is this later, that is the Q.

Poll: Will You Buy a PS5 Pro?
- Thread starter LetsEatSnacks
- Start date
Buying one and sending my old PS5 to my friend so he has the system. May buy him a new controller and a game or two for Christmas.
Only if it's the only way to play GTA VI and Death Stranding 2 in 60fps (on console, obviously).
As someone who primarily games on Switch these days, I've never felt the need to grab a new, slightly more powerful version of a console unless there's significant benefits to having it. My base PS5 works perfectly fine and serves all my needs well, and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
Visuals are all well and good, but gameplay is king. And I can't imagine PS5 Pro improving that in any significant measure.

Priority is probably going to be Switch 2, but possibly at some point, particularly if things like 4K and 60fps start to become treats only available on the Pro.
Right, I mean, of course you wouldn't buy it if you don't use the thing lol. The way people are saying this is like they have some other issue with it, just seems like a reasonable product projected to reach ~15-20% of the PS5 install base. For a certain sub section of enthusiasts it's gonna be great and will be a proving ground for Sonys AI image reconstruction tech ahead of their next gen console
Probably not. The base model is doing the job and the only problem I legitimately have with my PS5 at the moment is the space issue. That's not enough to get me to buy a PS5 Pro. Games will continue to be chunkier and chunkier in terms of GB whether the Pro exists or not.
Besides, the space constraints forces me to finish games rather than keep starting up different ones.

Probably yes. I'm very pro-framerate, and the Pro should make games that were previously low-quality on the framerate front be able to run at 60fps.
I feel like a bit of a tool admitting it since there's literally not a single other game that I'd be excited at all about seeing with better graphics or performance.
But I'll get one for GTA.
It'll be interesting to see what they market it with if it's true that they'll reveal it this week. I guess it'd be cool if there's games where you no longer have to choose between performance and quality, you can have the best graphics at the highest framerates. But I haven't been following it at all, I'm not sure if it's powerful enough to do that anyway, and yeah, I can't think of any games I'd be excited to go back to.
The only other game that interests me a bit is Death Stranding 2, I'll play that for sure and the performance looked rough in the trailer they released, but it's hard to know whether that was because it's just early in development vs the extreme weather events are too taxing for the base CPU or whatever.

Probably? Last generation I felt like I needed the Pro to play damn near anything after a point. Games looked worse, and worse as the PS4 aged - and the Pro felt more and more necessary to have a bare minimum decent time.
The PS5 hasn't really felt THAT long in the tooth yet (minus maybe the Final Fantasy games) but if performance and visuals degrade at the rate they did on vanilla consoles last gen then I will most likely buy one.

Already sold my PS5 and have funds waiting. Assuming it's $599. Probably pick up a game or two if they get updated.
Depends on how drastically better it will actually be. I'm think i'm fine with my PS5 and high end PC. Only thing that would change my mind would be GTA VI.
I want to upgrade, but it'll depend on whether there's a version with a disc drive or not, since I have some physical games.
Nope. I went completely PC/Steam Deck/Nintendo and sold the base PS5 last year and haven't regretted it. Especially not now that Sony has started porting things to PC.
Horsepower isn't gonna bring me back. More games like Astro Bot might.
