A sizable early adopter niche will still pay for the most powerful console possible.

From Circana analyst Matt Piscatella’s BlueSky account:

PlayStation 5 Pro accounted for 19% of total PlayStation 5 units sold in the month and 28% of dollars. Launch month dollar sales of PlayStation 5 Pro were more than 50% higher than the November 2016 launch month sales of PlayStation 4 Pro, while units were 12% lower.

      Still? Is it powerful enough to run the latest games without tweaking?

      Not criticizing, I genuinely want one, but tech advances quickly and it seems everyone is jumping to the PC handheld market (and I am glad for it).

        Depends, I played Yakuza 8 with no issues ok launch and the newer stuff like the Ally haven’t had a significant jump in performance.

        Surprisingly for the most part, yes.

        A good example for me was that it ran Black Myth Wukong at around 40fps.
