As always, the scalpers jumped on the new technologies, but they did not take into account that the PS5 pro would not sell.
The performance of the PS5 pro
A few months ago, PlayStation finally unveiled its PS5 Pro, an improved version of its original console. With a better framerate and optimized graphics, the machine has everything to please gamers. Provided of course you have the financial means – 800 euros is not cheap – and a screen capable of displaying and reproducing the quality of the PlayStation 5 Pro. If you have any doubts, do not hesitate to take a look at this article from JVTech, which will explain all the subtleties of the latter.
If publishers have already made several of their titles available on the console, like Capcom with Resident Evil 4 Remake, which now reaches 100 fps, on the players' side, recovering the Holy Grail is still a little complicated. Rest assured, this time, no comosnat story, just hype, and above all price. Plus, this time, scalpers won't be a problem for you, because they were completely fooled par PlayStation.
Another victim of scalpers
If you don't know what scalpers are, know that they are above all the worst enemies of the average fan, who cannot have their favorite products because of their commercial method. Bulk, they buy in mass certain copies of the desired product, for example Pokémon cards. As a result, they deplete stocks, but take advantage of the strong demand for resell the item at full price. The PlayStation 5 Pro has obviously been affected by these individuals, but rest assured, for once they are losers.
Unlike the launch fiasco of the classic PS5, which was extremely difficult to obtain, relatively few people rushed to buy the Pro. As we told you, its price of more than 800 euros is a big obstacle, especially since the console only exists in digital edition. This means that you also have to buy a disc player to play physical formats. Obviously, the scalpers ended up with a huge unsold stockwithout players to resell the machine to.
As a result, instead of offering completely absurd prices, they are forced to resell the PS5 Pro at a ridiculous price. Ads can be found only 650 euros, even 500 euros and a few. Or the price of a new classic PS5. The Gamer even notes that there is still a large stock of consoles in the United Kingdom, and that almost anyone can get them, in any store. Obviously, there are still some completely crazy ads on eBay, but much less than expected. However, it must be admitted that few people are ready to pay close to 1000 eurosas scalpers would like. In short, the players are lucky for the moment, but the scalpers are still lurking and could really pose a problem next time. The Nintendo Switch 2 could really suffer from these dishonest buyers, for example.
