PlayStation hardware sales fall ahead of pending PS5 Pro launch

Sony hits a new sales milestone for PS5, but it looks like it could use the PlayStation 5 Pro sooner rather than later

While some gamers may be excited about a more powerful PlayStation 5, Sony has had a quiet year for software, relying on third-party and second-party timed exclusivity deals. Stellar Blade, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and Rise of the Ronin have helped plug the gaps, but Sony will need to offer compelling reasons for people to pick up a PS5 Pro if they’re on the fence. Data has recently shown that 50% of GTA 5’s player base is still on PS4, so Sony will be hoping a PS5 Pro or even the presence of Grand Theft Auto 6 will encourage late adopters to switch to its latest console.
