Sony just announced the long-awaited PlayStation 5 Pro, promising 45 percent faster graphical speeds compared with the regular console. It will also be one of the most expensive video game consoles

The announcement of the PlayStation 5 Pro has sparked outrage among players — with the YouTube video confirming powerful new console reaching 141,000 dislikes in a single day, an unfortunate new record for Sony.

Even with the promise of running games like Grand Theft Auto 6 better than any other console, the PS5 Pro does little to justify its eye-watering price tag.

There is some concern that with the PS5 Pro launching at $700, that when the PS6 comes around, even the base model could in fact launch at $700 too.

The PS5 Pro provides substantial upgrades in GPU and storage, with a premium experience that's likely to appeal to a more "serious" audience. When compared to PC hardware, the PS5 Pro still provides surprisingly good value and removes the requirement to build and optimize a PC yourself.
