Analysts discuss the PlayStation 5 Pro

GamesBeat asked several industry analysts — Mat Piscatella of Circana; Daniel Ahmad of Niko Partners; and Rhys Elliot of Midia Research — for their thoughts on the PlayStation 5 Pro and its potential future both as an individual piece of hardware and in the larger console market. We’ve now seen that (previously a bit radioactive following the PS3’s pricing announcement way back when) $599 threshold reached or broken by both PlayStation and Xbox, so I certainly won’t be surprised if we see that again.”
