King Sony’s Mathematics
After persistent rumors, Sony has finally unveiled its PlayStation 5 Pro. In a video presented by Mark Cerny, we learn that the console is equipped with a larger GPU, an advanced raytracing system and PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) technology. This upscaling technology uses AI to improve the resolution of games.
But what has most certainly surprised gamers more than anything else is the price. Indeed, the PlayStation 5 Pro will be offered for the modest sum of €799.99, knowing that this is only a digital version. If you want to use your games in physical version, you will have to pay an additional €120 to buy the disc player separately.

A high-end living room console?
It seems that with this Pro version of its next-gen console, Sony is trying to reposition itself on the market with a “high-end” proposition. The PlayStation 5 Pro will only speak to a limited part of the public, and the price further restricts the target.
For the price of a PS5 Pro, any gamer can afford a powerful PC. Mark Cerny’s presentation video also highlighted graphical improvements whose importance is subject to debate. While the promise of a smooth and consistent framerate is always appreciable, the graphical improvements brought by the PS5 Pro are largely a matter of detail.
