In the E.U. the DualSense ordered from PS Direct costs 75€ but you chose another retailer that charges 10€ less for a comparison that favors your argument.
And then you complain about cherry picking. Rich.
Lack of PS5 Pro shortages means some scalpers are re-selling at a loss

The Sony Direct Store doesn't sell to Ireland, genius. That's why I used stores in Ireland to make a comparison using Irish figures.
Why would I use comparisons outside my own country that won't ship to my country?
Yes, I asked Sony to create an online store to sell playstations and accessories in Europe and specifically keep Irish customers out so years later I can embarrass an idiot on a gaming forum over how VAT works.
Very convenient.
It's very convenient that you can make up a scenario that allows you to shill and suck corporate dick to defend a multi-billion dollar company that treats you like a Pay Pig, yes.
How do you like that, being treated like a little Pay Pig? You like that, don't you?
Ask any Irish poster here to answer the following two questions:
What is the most popular store in Ireland for new Playstation consoles & accessories?
Can you buy from Playstation Direct and ship to Ireland?
I'm sorry that logic and common sense are out of reach for you.
Carry on with the homophobic comments if you think that makes your "argument" stronger. Heaven forbid you actually build a case.
Oh and it seems that the PS5 Pro is depreciating like a stone online.
A friend of mine bought one new. Has buyers remorse and new PS5 Pros in his area are listed for around 650 euros new.
That's a 150 euro drop. Should be a clear indication that Sony fucked up with their pricing. It's just not worth 800 euros.
600 should be right. Anything more is nonsensical and doomed to underperform.

Are you saying if the PS5 Pro was a success, the resale value would be the same price as new? Why would anyone sane buy a PS5 or anything for the same price you could buy in the store? In the store you have a warranty. The reason used PS5 Pros are cheaper is you can buy the fucking thing new in the fucking shop. There is no severe shortage and it is currently lining up with the PS4 Pro demand at launch. Was the PS4 Pro a failure?
Also your anecdote says the resale value is hovering at 650 but you think Sony should have charged 600 instead? 50 less than the resale market value and just absorb the loss. Well done Adam Smith.
If it was a success and value for money, it would have sold out day 1. Exactly what you are saying. Theye are still available in shops. Thanks for making my point
And 1 bought through Ebay with receipt also has warranty. What a total BS argument.
So no, its not as big of a success as everyone here thought. And its overpriced for what it is. 1+1 =2
Now the base PS5..... THATs a different story alltogether. It come with new tech, was a new generation and leaps ahead of the PS4.
PS5 Pro not so much, its an overly expensive upgrade and that's why stocks are still in store. Not being Sony's supply, but Demand.
Apparently the demand isn't high enough. PS4Pro did way better when it launched. There even actually were some shortages you claim weren't. Cherrypicking much?
The PS4 Pro sold better because the leap PS4 - PS4 Pro was MILES bigger then PS5 - PS5 Pro. Only an idiot would compare these 2.
I'll see that pricedrop hit just before Christmas. You know it's coming.
Well done Madam Smith.

The PS4 Pro sold better at launch than the PS5 Pro? According to Sony, despite the higher price the PS5 Pro is selling better than the PS4 Pro at launch. Yet despite that evidence you think the PS4 Pro performed better by selling less and with a cheaper price tag? I cannot sanction such buffoonery.If it was a success and value for money, it would have sold out day 1. Exactly what you are saying. Theye are still available in shops. Thanks for making my point

Well done Madam Smith.
Sony could have produced less PS5 Pro at launch and also sold out. That would only benefit the scalpers. I'm glad that there is more stock so people who want them don't pay the scalper's cut on top of the high cost.
You also claimed that the PS5 Pro isn't great but you still bought one at a higher price than you claim it's worth. Could you not wait for that Christmas price cut?
You didn't even get the Adam Smith reference. Instead you made a lazy "Madam Smith" comment. You're embarrassing both of us with such simple insults
