‘Anyone buying the PS5 Pro is an idiot’: Gamers are convinced Sony’s new console is daylight robbery

Sony has been at the wrong end of the internet’s ire for the past day due to the massive price it cited for the upcoming PlayStation 5 Pro. The console, supposedly a big upgrade over the original, will cost $700, which some believe isn’t worth it whatsoever.

There have been numerous sharp reactions to the price reveal in these last 24 hours, from YouTuber Blandrew labeling anyone who purchases a PS5 Pro an “idiot,” to creator Mischief saying Sony “can fuck right off” when commenting on the PS5 Pro’s U.K. price that adds up to about $915 without the stand and disc drive (including those two, the price approaches $1,100). The lack of these two big components appears to be the primary reason so many are hating on Sony’s pricing, with several discussions on social media naming this, among other things, as the reason they won’t be purchasing at the base price.
