Too expensive, lacks a disc drive for physical games requiring another $80 purchase on top of the $750 you just plopped down, lacks basic accessories included with the base PS5, no official plates (not that this matters too much since they're charging $60 for slabs of cheap plastic which is insane), the extra GPU grunt is worthless because every modern game uses upscaling so everything is still blurry, the AI upscaling solution is half baked so multiple games look and even sometimes run worse than base PS5, the CPU is the same Ryzen 2000 series equivalent so CPU bound games get basically no boost in performance, etc.
This actually started reasonable before it spiraled into wut.
The PS5 pro uses the literal exact same plates as the PS5 slim. If that high-priced official slim plates is a turn off then a lot of people make their own like 13 dollar to 20 dollar custom plates on aliexpress.
Don't even know where you got the GPU is worthless every modern game uses upscaling so everything is still blurry thing. (The entire point for coming up with PSSR is for better resolution scaling, and it especially works well for the weaker PS5 performance resolution games out there. EX monster hunter wilds and FF7 rebirth's). It is true that PSSR occasionally comes up with problems (mainly in the unreal engine 5 stuff), but it really is dishonest pretending this is a thing for majority of the games that is releasing.
A whopping 4 games (alan wake 2, silent hill 2 remake, star wars jedi survivor, and now metal gear solid 3 delta. All of which is a hot mess of optimization+forcing ray tracing that is effecting the other platforms these games have released on as well. ) is the amount with issues. 2 of these games already recieved PS5 pro specific patches improving the performance (star wars and alan wake 2), and the silent hill 2 r one is still on the way. Metal gear solid 3 delta is a mess everywhere.
The CPU is the same so CPU bound games get basically no performance boost is also blatantly untrue.
*Dragon's dogma 2, one of the main games constantly stated to be CPU bound and so no noticeable differences would be noticed between base consoles and the PS5 pro.*

PS5 pro is also a victim of a consistent social media misinformation hate campaign since its conception just because of it's price. Its ok to not care about the thing, but at least be honest about what it does.
