Sony Unveiled the brand new PlayStation 5 Pro on September 10. It will cost $699.99 and feature significant upgrades to its GPU, RAM, and power to render games at much higher performance and graphic fidelity. Sony has hit a new milestone, but it isn’t for the right reasons. The PlayStation 5 Pro has now become Sony’s most disliked console in history.
What’s the Buzz
Fans and people worldwide have started sharing memes and stated their displeasure with the PlayStation 5 Pro. The backlash is particularly intense in the video’s comments, where many fans express outrage over the PS5 Pro’s pricing in the US, UK, and EU. European Fans are especially angry that the console costs €799.99, roughly $881, which is $180 more than the people buying the console in the US.
The PlayStation 5 reveal trailer has garnered over 141000 Dislikes on its YouTube video in over a day, making the console the most disliked console in Sony’s history. Fans are also upset that the PS5 Pro won’t include a Disc Drive along with a vertical stand and a hefty price tag.
