A fan render of what is likely to be Sony's next big hardware release has been circulating. This has caused frustration for many readers, as Sony has released more hardware than games this year, with the potential of a PS5 Pro on the horizon.
The reader, Ragnarocker, agrees that this is the last thing Sony should be concentrating on right now. Although there has been no official word on the PS5 Pro, it's hard to deny that it is likely in the works.
The DualSense Edge, PlayStation VR2, PS5 Slim, and the PlayStation Portal in 2023 have all been released this year, and while none of these are essential, it does raise questions about Sony's commitment to game development. Why is the PlayStation Portal coming out with no new, portable-friendly game as it's killer app?
It's understandable that the reader is concerned about the potential of the PS5 Pro. Not only is it going to be highly expensive, it will also likely be what developers target when creating games. The base PS5 will still run the games, but they won't look as good.
This is why the reader isn't a PC gamer - they want to experience the game the way the developer intended, on the same hardware they designed it for. The issue with the PS5 Pro goes beyond this though. It makes Sony look like they have abandoned game development and are just focusing on selling consumer electronics.
The reader is not confident that Sony will announce any new games at The Game Awards in December. This has been the case throughout the year, with Sony not delivering on their promises. There is still a chance that Sony will reveal new games alongside the PS5 Pro - but the reader doesn't think it's likely.
The reader is done with Sony's hardware-only approach and fears that it will only lead to them becoming irrelevant. All that's left to do is wait and see what Sony has in store - but the reader is not hopeful.
