sales would be really good for Sony

A little over a month and a half after the release of the PS5 Pro, what conclusions can we really draw from it? For the moment, it is clear that the returns seem unanimous and not necessarily positive. It’s not a bad console, far from it. But the difference is so minimal between the PS5 and the PS5 Pro, even in terms of game optimization, that professionals have difficulty finding any real interest in it, especially at 800 euros.

Worse still, many games suffer from catastrophic optimizationlike Silent Hill 2 to name but a few when the machine was launched. Even if patches are generally quickly put in place to correct problems, this shows a serious problem concerning “the most powerful video game console in the world”. Thus, on the technical side, the results are far from positive. We now hope that this PS5 Pro will show its full potential with the first games which will have been developed on the latter, because in terms of the optimization of old games, it is far, very far from being convincing.

However, on the gamer side, Sony seems to have succeeded in its bet. We learned a few days after the release of the console that sales were rather satisfactory. A month and a half later, this observation is still the same with fairly interesting first figures.

The PS5 Pro in Sony’s expectations

The first sales figures have fallen for the PS5 Pro for the month of November 2024. We thus learn that of all the PS5 consoles sold in the United States last month, 19% were PS5 Pro. In Europe, it’s even better, since out of all PS5 sales, 26% were PS5 Pro. We’re not even talking about Japan, a country where Sony’s new console is a real hit since last month, PS5 Pros represented 63% of PS5 sales.

As at its launch, these good figures nevertheless remain behind PS4 Pro sales in 2016. However, the PS5 Pro costs twice as expensive than the PS4 Pro at the time, so this remains very correct and sales should undoubtedly soar a little further this month with the end-of-year holidays.
