Nope. Pro consoles are a scam.

Pro consoles punish early adopters.

It isn't.

How so? We've had years of Performance and Graphics modes - with a Pro, you could have the best of both in one mode.

Then put out an actual new console to justify my purchase. Until then I would never buy a new version of a console I already own under any circumstance unless mine straight up breaks out of warranty.

If a Pro comes out and they put out God of War 3 and it can't get to 60 FPS on a base PS5 then the Devs can go fuck themselves.

...So if your console broke out of warranty and there was a pro, would you buy the Pro or another vanilla PS5?

Yes.

That doesn't mean I want that to even be on the table though.

Don't put shit out until it's time for a PS6. Don't make games that NEED a Pro, it's not that hard. I wouldn't give a shit if games still all looked like PS3 games, they just have to run at full framerate, and I don't want them to have an excuse to make my PS5 games NOT run at 60 on the console I already own.

Yes, because it would vindicate me not getting a PS5 yet (in part) in anticipation of this very scenario.

PCs get new hardware literally constantly so it's always a bit funny to me to see people get mad about the prospect of iterative hardware in the console market. If you don't feel like you need the power then it shouldn't be an issue - devs getting the limits removed from them is only a good thing and it's an actual nightmare how long console lifecycles are getting. I'd gladly take four PS5 releases before the PS6 if it meant technology was constantly improving. It's an extreme case but just look how miserable the Switch is right now and how much people are dying for a Switch Pro that can actually run these games.

To me a PC is like a car in that it's a purchase you expect to make every 5-10 years and the timing is usually out of necessity, when your current one is either so obsolete that you can't do what you need it for anymore, or has become incredibly slow, expensive to maintain, or stops working completely. You know that next year's model is going to be slightly better but if it REALLY bothers you you can usually have some upgrades done to your current one.

When a company puts out a console you expect it to be a one-time purchase for that console's lifetime. It's annoying when an upgraded model comes out halfway through the console's lifespan, particularly one that can play games the base model can't, and it kinda feels like a spit in the face when the majority of people who buy a console in the first 6-12 months and especially those who buy them at launch do so out of brand loyalty, as the system's library usually isn't impressive at that point (usually only one killer app if that, and a small handful of lesser titles and/or games that you can still get on the old console). It wouldn't annoy me that much if the option were available to just pay, like, $100 to install an upgrade to your base model, but that's not really feasible for something like a game console, so to have to buy a whole new unit of mostly the same console to have an up-to-date experience is a trend that I'm not liking. I'd rather the console makers wait until they can put out the full system all at once than give us, like, half a system for two or three years.

I used a base model PS4 all the way up until I got a PS5 and had a pleasant experience. Never upgraded to Pro and didn't feel like it hindered my experience at all
