Not the down voter, but as a day 1 PS5 buyer who could afford the pro I will just say they didn't offer any value to me. I've played 1 game on the PS5 that I couldn't have on my base PS4 (Demon's Souls) and I could play the original of that on my PS3. They promised all of this great stuff on the PS5 and under delivered. Why would I put down the $700 why would I spend that when I hardly even use my PS5 and even when I do I could've just used my PS4?
I'm not arguing for or against being a recession. But the sales for this console don't prove or deny a recession, they just show that either no one actually wants this thing or Sony has managed to misjudge demand.
