The PlayStation 5 Pro hits shops on Thursday with a price tag that has raised eyebrows among gamers, but growing sticker shocks in the tech industry have yet to deter consumers.
The upgraded version of Sony’s flagship gaming console is retailing for $699.99 in the United States — $250 more than the previous PlayStation 5 model.
It will cost an eye-watering 799.99 euros ($860), 250 euros higher than the older version, in Europe and almost 120,000 yen ($780) in Japan, where Sony is based.
“I don’t think I’m going to buy it. I don’t want to spend amounts like that to buy a console,” said Hideki Hasegawa, a 45-year-old entrepreneur in Tokyo.He recalled a time when consoles “didn’t cost more than 30,000 yen”.
With the release of the PlayStation 5 dating to 2020, the Pro version gives Sony a chance to integrate improvements that allow games to run faster and with better graphics.
“Simply put it’s the most powerful console we’ve ever built and a worthy edition to the PS5 family,” PlayStation’s lead architect Mark Cerny said at an event in September.
However, the higher price “looks challenging from a marketing perspective”, said J.P. Morgan analyst Junya Ayada.
