Is The PS5 Pro Worth $700?

Months of speculation and rumors have finally come to an end as Sony officially announced the PlayStation 5 Pro and its November 7, 2024 release date. Aside from questions surrounding what the technical improvements the PS5 Pro would be, the biggest question mark concerned its price, and now we know that it’ll cost $700 in the U.S. Just like the PS4 Pro before it, the PS5 Pro is a refreshed version of the original PS5 that came out in 2020 and features some technical improvements. But the $700 price tag has raised eyebrows and is the biggest point of contention many have with the console, myself included.

What’s The Future Of PlayStation and Xbox Exclusives?

Microsoft’s first-party exclusive Hi-Fi Rush came to PlayStation earlier this year, along with three other first-party Xbox titles. Sony’s Horizon franchise is breaking out of PlayStation exclusivity and jumping to the Nintendo Switch later this year with Lego Horizon Adventures. These moves may not spell the immediate end of console exclusives for PlayStation and Xbox, but the fires have been lit and the future is clear: first-party exclusivity for them will eventually be no more.

PlayStation Studios Needs New Franchises

PlayStation’s internal studios have felt fairly stagnant for a couple of years now. Don’t get me wrong, we’ve gotten some incredible games from them so far this generation. Guerrilla knocked it out of the park with Horizon Forbidden West and its Burning Shores expansion; Sony Santa Monica delivered an epic conclusion to Kratos’ Norse adventures in God of War Ragnarok and its Valhalla DLC; and what more needs to be said about Insomniac Games, a team that’s proven itself to be the PlayStation Studios MVP as they’ve released a steady cadence of amazing games with Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, and Spider-Man 2. But although these have each been top-tier games, it’s disappointing that we haven’t received too many fresh ideas in the form of new IP from PlayStation’s biggest internal teams.

Sony Might Be Making A PlayStation Vita 2

Sony hasn’t been in the handheld gaming market since they stopped producing the PlayStation Vita in 2019, but if new reports are to be believed, the company is planning to return to the space in the coming years. Coming from YouTuber Moore’s Law Is Dead (and spotted by WCCFTech), he reports that Sony is in fact working on a new PlayStation handheld system (which I’ll refer to as the Vita 2 for simplicity’s sake) and that it’ll be compatible with PS4 and PS5 games.
