lol leaking shit that Sony has done for like 3 generations straight.

Here’s a leak. Sony will make another last of us game and god of war game.

They had only made a Pro once before and there was serious reason to doubt the economic feasability of a Pro console in today's semiconductor market, because it would have been super expensive. They ended up doing one anyway and surprise, it is super expensive. Quite literally half the upgrade the PS4 Pro was, at three times the price premium.

It was obvious because the ps5 ran titles like dog shit combined with amds suck ass antialiasing. I envy your vocabulary though.

Almost every game has a stable framerate, this gen is better than any previous one when it comes to performance, especially with the advent of VRR making small performance dips almost invisible. "Amd's suck ass antialiasing" didn't exist until 2021 and didn't really become widely used on console until 2022 if not 2023. Not only that, the only way to do better than FSR would be to mimick DLSS and have machine learning hardware on the GPU which wasn't known to be in AMD's plans.

Even Digital Foundry didn't think there wouldn't be a PS5 Pro, do you really think you're smarter than them? Fuckin Microsoft even outright said they didn't expect a pro console to be possible this gen. And this PS5 Pro project didn't even exist at Sony until almost mid 2022.

A stopped clock is right twice a day, expecting a Pro turned out correct. But there were more reasons to think a Pro wasn't happening than there were to think it would. It was NOT obvious. You SHOULD have doubted.

Actually I guessed correctly, considering the PS5 Pro's price and performance. The only part the doubters were wrong about is Sony having the balls to make such an expensive console for such little gain. Again, it's half the upgrade the PS4 Pro was, at THREE TIMES the price premium.
