Key Takeaways
- The PS5 Pro reveals video received over 141,000 dislikes in a single day, an unfortunate new record for Sony.
- The PS5 Pro has been met with outrage over its pricing, especially in the US, UK, and EU.
- Despite skepticism, analysts expect the PS5 Pro to sell better than expected once it launches in November.
As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of gaming under my belt, I can’t help but feel a mix of surprise and disappointment at the reaction to the PS5 Pro reveal. I remember waiting in line for hours for the release of the original PlayStation, and here we are, with a new console that has garnered more dislikes than any other Sony product in a single day.
The unveiling of the PlayStation 5 Pro marked a regrettable new milestone for Sony, being the least popular console launch on YouTube in their history. Numerous gamers have expressed their discontent on social media platforms regarding the high price tag of the PS5 Pro, which can surpass $800 in certain instances.
On November 7, the PS5 Pro, a console without a disc drive, hits the market, boasting a 45% increase in rendering capacity compared to the standard PS5. Mark Cerny, the lead architect for the PS5, declared that this upgraded console can run games smoothly at 60 frames per second, offering visual quality comparable to Graphics Mode without requiring a switch to Performance Mode. This is facilitated by the PS5 Pro’s enhanced GPU, which boasts 67% more compute units than the standard PS5’s GPU. The PS5 Pro’s advanced ray tracing capabilities can significantly speed up, even doubling and tripling, compared to current PS5 speeds. Additionally, a new AI-driven super resolution feature, PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution, ensures consistent performance and visual clarity with ray tracing effects. However, the high price tag of $699.99 and the absence of a vertical stand or disc drive in the package have left many gamers unimpressed, as evident in their expressions of dissatisfaction on the PS5 Pro’s YouTube reveal video.
The YouTube unveiling of the PS5 Pro, as reported by Push Square, is Sony’s least favored console debut with approximately 141,000 disapprovals within a single day. On the other hand, the video of the PS5 Pro reveal has garnered over 93,000 likes. This indicates a stark division in the gaming community’s feelings towards the new console, as the likes and dislikes are significantly imbalanced. It’s worth noting that this is more than double the number of dislikes amassed over a span of four years following the initial reveal of the original PS5 console.
PS5 Pro is the Most Disliked Console in Sony’s History on YouTube
- The PS5 Pro reveal video received over 141,000 dislikes in a day.
The criticism is particularly noticeable in the video’s comments section, as many fans express their disappointment over the high price of the PS5 Pro in countries like the US, UK, and EU. For instance, European YouTube users are puzzled and frustrated by Sony’s decision to set the PS5 Pro at €799.99 (approximately $881), which is a significant $180 more than what gamers in the US would pay for the console at $699.99 (roughly €635).
Experts predict that the PS5 Pro may surpass initial sales projections, despite a wave of skepticism among numerous online gamers. Initially designed as a specialized console by Sony for dedicated PlayStation fans, it seems that many gamers find the PS5 Pro’s performance and visual enhancements insufficient to justify its $699.99 price tag. Furthermore, the absence of fresh game announcements emphasizing the PS5 Pro’s advancements has not been helpful in this regard.
