PS5 Pro Sales Prospects: Analysts Weigh In

Despite initial reactions to the PS5 Pro's $700 price tag, analysts believe there is still a market for Sony's premium device. To gauge the console's sales potential, experts consider various factors, including the mid-generation launch and comparisons to the PS4 Pro. Ampere Analysis predicts 1.3 million units could be sold by the end of 2024, while SJN Insights expects sales of less than one million units in the first year. The PS5 Pro's performance is likely to be in line with its predecessor, with some analysts forecasting up to 15 million units sold before the end of the generation. The high-end model is expected to appeal primarily to devoted PlayStation fans, with a potential market share of around 10% of all PS5 sales. However, the console's price point has sparked debate, with some arguing it may be too high for many consumers. The PS5 Pro's success will depend on factors such as the state of the economy, Sony's ability to demonstrate significant improvements over the standard PS5, and the willingness of consumers to pay a premium for the device.
