I get the CEO’s point, but honestly, with all the talk around PS5 Pro, it’s hard not to expect more than just slightly better graphics.
 
Imagine paying a premium for slightly better graphics or loading times with the PS5 Pro. Is that worth it, or are we just buying into the hype machine again?
 
It sounds like the PS5 Pro is going to be more of an “enhanced experience” rather than a whole new generation. I respect that the CEO’s trying to keep it real, but it might still let down fans who wanted a truly next-gen jump. Sony could risk disappointing its loyal base if the Pro doesn’t offer a major improvement.
