After a great deal of leaks, rumours and speculation the PlayStation 5 Pro is finally here. While the console has received some criticism due to its price tag, the mid-gen refresh seems to be succeeding with its intended target audience, currently “performing slightly stronger than the pre-orders of the PS4 Pro during the same period.”
As part of Sony’s latest fiscal earnings report, the PlayStation 5 console manufacturer offered a brief update on the current early success of the PlayStation 5 Pro following its launch late last week.
According to Sony’s President, COO and CFO ‘Hiroki Totoki’ in regards to the console’s £699 price tag (as transcribed by Nikkei Asia), the PS5 Pro “is a high-end product targeted at core customers, so we haven't been eyeing a large sales plan to begin with.”
Even so, the CFO claimed that “I'm under the impression that the product is performing slightly stronger than the pre-orders of the PS4 Pro during the same period, so I don't think it is adversely affecting the product's sales plan.”
Of course, it is still very early days for the PS5 Pro, but given the fact that Sony seems to have been happy with the last-gen Pro’s market share of around 15-20% of all PS4 sales, hopefully the PlayStation 5 Pro will see just as much if not even more support from the console maker.
