My English is perfectly fine. Somewhat satisfied is a 6/10 in my book. You do you.

I voted somewhat satisfied AND gave commentary as to exactly what grade I'd give it. So you changing my 7/10 to a 6/10 is baffling. You're obviously trying to co-opt the narrative here fit your own purposes, which is just sad and pathetic.

I picked “somewhat “ but it isn’t because of the price or the hardware. It’s because of Sonys complete lack of doing anything with it. A lot more games should have Pro patches, and even if Sony can’t work with other developers there is no reason their own games can’t get them. Last gen a ton of games got “Pro” patches and on Xbox side, Microsoft went back and enhanced a bunch of games for its flagship console.

Honestly, they should have an entire team that does nothing but this.

Nearly every major Sony PS5 game has a patch. I think maybe 2-3 games don't... What are you even talking about?

This poll really has brought out the stupid. Read the fucking thread title.

Anyway, I'm happy, but I'm not sure I would think it worth it as a straight up purchase without a 50% trade value credit. Its a pretty big jump here in Australia versus the base model, especially when you compare against some pretty nice sales on the base model over our Summer.

I would be very dissatisfied if I had paid €800 and had not sold the standard console for half the price of a Pro console. The differences are too small with the vanilla. Even if the difference wasn't that big, the PS4 Pro at least gave us a 4K upgrade for a much smaller price difference. The Xbox One X has been the best mid-gen upgrade so far. Of course, it helped that the launch model Xbox One underperformed compared to the PS4, making the upgrade to One X more noticeable and not requiring Digital Foundry to point out the differences.

The ps4 pro didn't do 4k and only 30fps in most games. Can't do lock 60fps.
Also you have to take into consideration a PS5 digital slim 1tb with a 1tb ssd nvme added how much would that be €XXX?
I was dissatisfied with my ps4 pro that i sold it and got a ps4 slim. I'm satisfied with my ps5 pro.

I was satisfied with the PS4 Pro and I'm satisfied with the PS5 Pro. They can make a good experience a great experience simply by delivering more stable framerates or better visuals at the same framerate.

The PS5 Pro does that even better than the PS4 Pro because developers and maybe Sony didn't know how best to market some games in a pre-vrr environment.

How many PS4 Pro games could have hit 60 fps with just a slight reduction in resolution but they didn't want the press of lowered resolutions attached to the Pro yet an optional performance mode would have made those games significantly better experiences. Instead these games stuck to 30 fps (but uncapped probably would have been closer to 60, but unstable). ~60 with VRR and dynamic resolution that is tightly woven around performance is kind of the console holy grail.

I'll actually add that one of my chief criticisms of the PS5 Pro is in line with my criticism of how games were developed for the PS4 Pro.

The mistake of not having lower resolution performance modes targeting 60 fps seems to be repeated in this generation due to the lack of proper system wide LFC. Performance modes would have improved more games on PS4 Pro just as balanced modes would improve more games on the PS5 Pro with games targeting 40+ FPS would have meant fidelity modes with significantly higher framerates and would have better set up the PS6.

Fidelity Mode Unlocked framerates with RTX with low framerate compensation... this mode on PS6 would instantly be among the best modes to play.

Sony desperately needs to add this in by the end of the year.

I'm glad that at least this time, we haven't had anyone complaining about missing poll options. That has happened in every other poll I've put together.

It does bug me that some people voted in the poll who don't own the console. I stated specifically in the title that this was only for Pro owners, and I repeated it in the OP. I guess some people can't help themselves - they just have to express their negative opinion, regardless of whether they are qualified to answer.
