Analytiker forventer at PS5 Pro vil sælge på samme niveau som PS4 Pro

Og det er på trods af en forholdsvis høj pris, siger analytiker fra Ampere Analysis.

Sony har som bekendt annonceret PlayStation 5 Pro, som lander den 7. november. Prisen, og manglen på en killer-app til at sælge maskinen har været de store samtalepunkter på nettet og nu byder Piers Harding-Rolls, Research Director for Games hos Ampere Analysis ind med hans analyse.

Han kommenterer også på prisen og siger:

The price point of the PS5 Pro will inevitably cause a lot of commentary. The price point differential between the PS5 and PS5 Pro is between 40-50%, which is significantly more than the differential between the PS4 and PS4 Pro at launch.
In the US, the PS4 Pro launched at $399 and the slim PS4 was $299 at the time, a 33% differential. Additionally, the slim PS4 had a retail price of $299 having dropped from the original PS4 launch price of $399.

Piers Harding-Rolls forventer, at Sony vil sælge omkring 1,3 millioner PS5 Pro maskiner i løbet af 2024s lanceringsvindue, hvilket er en smule mindre end de 1,7 millioner som PS4 Pro solgte i samme lanceringsperiode.

We expect the price point to soften demand with some consumers, but for PlayStation enthusiasts the pricing is less of a consideration.

PS4 Pro stod for omkring 12% af alle solgte PlayStation 4 maskiner, svarende til 14,5 millioner enheder og Ampere Analysis forudser nogenlunde den samme fordeling omkring PS5 Pro, som de forventer vil nå 13 millioner solgte enheder i 2029.

PS5 Pro pricing reflects Sony's adjusted strategy to protect its margin, generally supply chain inflation and a lack of direct competitor to its mid-cycle upgrade compared to last generation. The lack of competition means it is an easier decision for Sony to run with a higher price point to protect its existing margins. For most prospective PS5 consumers, the standard edition will represent the value sweet spot.
