We will see.

Rockstar Games is 10 floors above CDPR in terms of polish and optimisation, so you've got nothing to worry about.

I'm not holding my breathe.

Just see how RDR2 run well on consoles, it's a fucking miracle.

I don't doubt it will run well. I doubt the rest.

PS5 Pro selling more than Xbox isn't surprising. You must be mentally ill to even consider buying an xbox at this point.

It's like throwing money away..

The PS5pro isn't everyone's cup of tea, Bryan, but I don't think buying one is throwing money away.

One day after release and at Amazon France the PS5 Pro is already selling less than the PS5 disc and the PS5 discless.




And no, the console isn't sold out.

Didn’t everyone claim that nobody would ask about such an expensive product? Sony has once again proven that they have a keen sense for the market. Apart from the PC ports, of course.

Yeah I saw this... Which is amazing to see. But hopefully so will it sell even better in 2025 etc. as that's when GTA VI etc. will be out and other bangers as well!

You said it would sell between 500K - 1 million units between launch and March 31st.

Are you sticking with that prediction?

Stop spewing stuff up. I never mentioned absolute numbers, only sales numbers relative to the standard version.

Lies.

You responded to the poll I made specifically to catch people like you who like to move the goalposts after the fact.

How many PS5 Pros will sell between Nov 7 and March 31st

The PS5 Pro launches on November 7th. How many units will sell before the end of Sony's fiscal year (March 31st, 2025)?

You made a poll "to catch people"? Dude how about getting a life?

And if you're going to think of ticking a poll as some kind of blood promise, why the fuck do you then start asking people the same shit a month later?

If they don't lower the price nor bundle the disc drive:

~8% of all PS5 sales in the USA, ~3% in EU+UK, <1% in Japan.

Because I like to see how consistent people are with reality or whether they're just out here trolling.

You're more so the latter.

It's not about blood promises, but hyperbole is great when you're a hypocrite and a liar.

I create the poll to see who was able to better analyze sales and demand but more importantly who was bullish vs bearish on the PS5 Pro and why.

You're really anti-Sony. That's just a reality. That isn't inherently a problem, but what I think is a problem is that you take it to ridiculous levels and you make it your purpose here to be extremely anti-sony, even to the point where you can't keep up with all the things you've said.

I mean, that's not a huge accomplishment I feel? Xbox has been declining month-over-month, year-over-year even in America, let alone globally. I'm sure that'd be reflected through Amazon especially if going by global rankings.

Still feel the Pro will have a solid launch and sell out initial shipments, but see a sharper decline near 2nd half of Q1 next year. And probably only do "okay-ish" for a while until a major AAA releases like Death Stranding 2, Ghosts of Yotei or GTA6.

Depending on how long it takes for GTA6 to go to PC, and if there are any PS5 Pro/GTA6 bundles (maybe even with a sales promo price), will influence what bounce-back the Pro has in sales in latter part of 2025. Plus, how well that carries on into 2026.

The thing is that the expectation for PS5 pro is not for it to outsell the base PS5 in any way shape or form. It’s an enthusiast piece of kit being sold at a high premium.

You know people are having a laugh when they suggest the PS5 Pro selling nearly as many units as the XSX is a "failure."


Analysis for PS5 Pro sales are extremely difficult to predict, especially this early.

• More expensive than PS4 Pro
• No competition from Xbox One X equivalent
• PC prices are through the roof
• GTA6
• Direction of the European economy
• Hard to determine when prices will eventually be lowered and by how much by the end of its cycle
• Whether Sony will continue producing PS5 Pros through the PS6
  • The PS4 Pro was discontinued but that was likely due to supply chain issues

I think that anything above 10 million units is a success here and I'm pretty confident it will get that, but its ceiling is significantly higher under the right conditions.
