PS5 Pro Proves a Success for PlayStation and It’s Not Even Out
It has only been a few days since PS5 Pro was officially announced, and the console edition is already breaking records with disc drive sales.
- PlayStation players were initially unhappy about the console selling the disc drive and vertical stand separately.
- However, this reaction didn't last long, as players have already started ordering the PS5 Pro disc drives, bringing it on the best-selling items list.
- The upcoming console has promised a lot of features to players, which will take PlayStation gaming to a new level.
The launch of PS5 Pro is the hottest topic right now in the gaming world. Not only PlayStation gamers but also other console and PC players are eagerly looking forward to knowing how this upcoming PlayStation edition will perform. Though initially, players reacted negatively, the scenario turned within a few hours.
When PS5 Pro was announced, players were angry about the disc drive not coming with the console. However, their anger didn’t last long. Consequently, the PS5 Pro is becoming a qualified successor to PlayStation 5, even before the console is released.
PS5 Pro Disc Drive Is Currently Trending on Amazon’s Best Seller List
When PlayStation posted about Mark Cerny hosting a Technical Presentation, players assumed it would be the announcement of PlayStation 5 Pro. Eventually, their assumption turned into reality, and Sony announced that it is set to launch PS5 Pro globally on November 7. However, the pre-orders will start on September 26.
While everything was alright, the price range of the console first cut the cord. Then came the update that the $699.99 price range won’t bring the vertical stand and the disc drive. Initially, players were upset, but the scenario didn’t take time to change.
According to recent reports, the PS5 Pro disc drive is trending at number 8 on Amazon’s best-seller items list. The most ridiculous part about these sale stats is that the disc drive hasn’t only made it to the top 10, but it is also outselling a lot of other gaming units like the DualSense controller, the Meta Quest 3, etc.
However, most notably, it is presently outselling Xbox consoles on the site. The point is that it is only the disc drive and not the console itself, but still, it is giving Xbox consoles a hard time competing with it.
PS5 Pro Is Offering a Lot to PlayStation 5 Players, Including Improved Performance
PS5 Pro is going to be the most powerful console Sony has ever released. While the price is hefty, the features are also impressive.
Compared to PS5, the new console edition brings a lot more features, including powerful graphics, improved ray-tracing ability, and AI upscaling capability. With its advanced GPU, this upcoming console will be able to tackle AAA games in Performance mode without FPS drops.
Basically, the GPU is the star to make it the most powerful console. On PlayStation Blog, the latest PS5 Pro post mentioned,
“we are upgrading to a GPU that has 67% more Compute Units than the current PS5 console and 28% faster memory. Overall, this enables up to 45% faster rendering for gameplay.”
This is sure to make the gameplay experiences better, and Sony has teased how some of the best PlayStation 5 games will run on PS5 Pro.
