Totoki stated, 'In terms of the pricing, many people made different comments on that, but pricing on PS5 Pro has not had a negative impact, I don't think.' This reinforces that despite the $700 price tag, they believe sales won't be adversely affected.
Regarding the PS5 Pro, it appears that hardcore gamers are its primary audience. Totoki mentioned, 'Hardcore users are the target of this hardware,' highlighting a clear focus on dedicated players instead of casual consumers.
The availability of PS5 Pro consoles after launch suggests that initial demand might not be as high as expected, with reports indicating that 'scalpers have had to sell their PS5 Pros at a loss due to the lack of demand.'
Interestingly, while the PS5 Pro itself hasn't sold out, the optional disc drive is in demand, as several retailers have sold out of them. This indicates that 'there is demand among the hardcore for a PS5 Pro that can play discs.'
