Later this week, stores around the world will update price tags on PlayStation consoles. Gamers have decided to prepare for the situation in advance and are massively buying up PS5 Pro while the cost hasn't skyrocketed.
Last week, Sony confirmed the rumors and officially announced new prices for PS5, PS5 Pro, and the portable PS Portal. This is a clear signal that the changes are not just plans, but a reality to which the market has begun to react.
Users are not going to wait. There are increasingly frequent reports online of PS5 Pro editions being sold out, as buyers try to grab the console before the price updates. The situation is especially noticeable in the US, where the PS5 Pro has entered the top-selling consoles on Amazon. Social media users are massively showing off their purchase of the most powerful PlayStation device.
It is worth admitting that Sony itself has fueled interest in the device. The latest improvements, including the development of PSSR technology, and the release of games such as Resident Evil Requiem, clearly demonstrate the advantage of the PS5 Pro. However, it was the upcoming price increase that became the decisive impulse: many players felt that now is the last moment to take the console at the "old" price.
