[Tom Warren] The PS5 Pro still hasn’t sold out in the US or UK. Looks like the $700 price point will mean this console will be readily available this holiday (lemmy.world)

All that stuff about exclusive games just sounds like sunk cost fallacy. I don't understand how a consumer benefits in any way from exclusive titles, or how a consumer is harmed from having access to multiplatform games.

If someone gets a PS5 for a PS5 exclusive game, why wouldn't they want the option to play other games on there as well?

I do ultimately agree with you though, the PS5 Pro is dumb - and neither the regular PS5 nor any Xbox seems worthwhile compared to PC gaming

It's gotta have some reason to buy it. If it's not the price, and it's not the power, it's the library. Sunk costs don't even come into play for someone who is looking to get a game machine trying to decide what to buy.
