PS5 Pro Sales Are Falling Behind the Pace Set by PS4 Pro

PS5 Pro sales are struggling to match early sales of PS4 Pro, with a noted 15% drop in hardware sales in January 2025.

I bought mine and sold it. It’s a great console, but my base PS5 was still more than enough, and I have a gaming PC.

Babadook761d ago

I feel the opposite. Don’t need a gaming PC now that I’ve got the Pro.

I wonder what Matt means by “falling off the PS4 Pros pace”? I would think that means the PS4 pro is catching up to PS5 Pro now (launch aligned) but we know PS5 Pro has initially sold better.

Tacoboto61d ago

It means the PS4 Pro is outselling the PS5 Pro at the same point in Circana's markets.

PS5 Pro did sell better in Japan out the gate as I recall, but perhaps it's not faring so well in North America, especially after the holidays

@Tacoboto

Can you give the source?

Cacabunga61d ago (Edited 61d ago )

I see absolutely no need to get one.
I bought PS4 pro to enjoy Days gone and now i need 700 bucks ps5 pro to enjoy Days Gone remaster lol Sony losing it like crazy

@Tocoboto

You’ve got to be kidding.

A 15% drop is not the evidence you were asked to give to back your claim. A drop does not signify it’s behind at the same point. Particularly when we know ps5 pro started stronger.

And will play nearly identically on the base PS5 and Xbox series X.

Ps4 pro have the new standard of 4K tvs to stand on and was priced the same price as ps4 at launch and was an upgrade in every way, ps5 pro is going from upscaled 4K to slightly better upscaled 4K and doesn't even have a disc drive for a minimum of $200 above ps5s price. Has some big cons going for it.

-Foxtrot61d ago (Edited 61d ago )

Oh well. It wasn't needed and honestly by the time developers really dive into this and start to really take advantage they will most likely have PS6 dev kits in their hands. What are they going to focus on more, a mid gen console not everyone has because the majority already has a PS5 base console or a brand new next gen machine a lot more people will obviously make the switch to.

Hopefully this stops any future mid gen console bullshit and Sony starts to rethink any high price points or detachable disc drives to sell separately from the console.

Good, another Playstation fail...looking at you PSVR2.

Good-Smurf61d ago

Considering its targeted audience, it's doing well.
PS4 Pro sold more simply because it was much cheaper than PS5 Pro.
Doesn't look like Sony is worried about its sales number at all, they knew it wasn't a console for the masses, the standard PS5 is.

Grievous61d ago

A fail lol. The console is double the price of the PS5. Being slightly behind the PS4 Pro which ws basically the same price as the PS4 was launched it seems like a pretty good success.

Review - Blue Prince (PS5) | WayTooManyGames

WTMG's Kyle Nicol: "Even if you aren’t a fan of roguelikes, Blue Prince feels much more like an elaborate puzzle box. There’s a satisfying feeling in making it further than you did before, finding clues to a puzzle, then stumbling onto another piece of that puzzle a few runs later. Blue Prince is certainly one of the most interesting games of this year. It takes a fairly novel concept in a roguelike puzzle game, adding elements of deckbuilding and base crafting. It all comes together for a gameplay experience unlike anything else out there today."

Huge difference i must admit, but not sure i would notice without 2 screens next to each other.

Not getting this game still, i want a new game and im tired of remasters

Muigi1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

It’s $10 and there are plenty of games out there for you.

Flewid63834m ago

You're forgetting 30fps to 60fps

Sony is now remastering games with 71s on metacritic.

Bathyj1h ago

Like that's a judge of anything
This game got scored before it was released.

andy851h ago

Days gone is 85+. It got heavily marked down at launch for bugs where as others get a free pass for that. It's a fantastic game.

andy851h ago

I spoiled myself by modding this game on my PC. Genuinely one of the best looking games I've ever seen. Whilst this remaster looks nice it just doesn't compare to that sadly. It shows the effort that these remasters could put in if they wanted

REDGUM1h ago

I so hope this game or DLC for those of us who own the original sells well.
Ive said it before, its an underrated game for sure & was unfairly judged upon release.
Please try this game if you haven't already.

For those who say 'i won't purchase digital only' you can pickup a hard copy for 5 bucks here in Australia, then add the DLC and you have a superb game for $20 or so.

Give it a shot, tell me I'm wrong After completing the game.

Game on gamers.
