we need to stop this idea that making the pro as good as it can be will ruin the ps6 not even the best tech the pro could use right now would come close to what the ps6 will use in 2028-9 so theres that also whether the pro is slightly better or significantly better most people (especially casuals wont get it) so the ps6 would be completely fresh for them. what you do by gimping the pro and not going all in as you can is turn off a decent amount of hardcore from purchasing it. we also were asking for a cpu upgrade because in sonys own words and obviously what consumers expect/want the pro should do double what the ps5 does on the same workload so either double the resolution, double the settings, or double the framerate and the last 2 you cant do without improving the cpu (no slightly increasing the clocks is nowhere near enough)
I get it. You want a super powerful machine.
There are multiple issues with that approach, but we can start with the most obvious...
It won't sell in large enough numbers to get the cost of goods sold down low enough due to lack of economies of scale.
This is essentially the issue Xbox has, the don't place large enough orders so the get crap prices from suppliers.
So now what you are saying is build a machine with the latest tech in 2024 which will cost far too much to manufacture and would have to be priced north of 700.
Can you not see how this is unrealistic?
In your posts you take a grab bag of tech and claim it can all be used together, 3d cache, zen4, rDNA whatever.
You have a naïve view of engineering and it shows.
You will be disappointed with the pro, despite the fact that it will be a major upgrade over both the base PS5 and the series x.
Performance doesn't just come from bigger numbers on a spec sheet, I would have thought this gen has shown that.
