PlayStation 5 Pro has been all the rage ever since its announcement—well, for various reasons. While some are excited to have a new model, others have questioned its necessity and the exorbitant price that comes with it. Therefore, the reveal led to a motley of excitement and controversy. Now, even the PlayStation CEO, Hideaki Nishino, has joined to curb everyone’s expectations.
He has asked PlayStation users to curb their anticipation regarding the PS5 Pro, as it will ‘not be a next-gen’ console. Instead, we are getting a grounded upgrade that is only meant for a certain audience.
Why it matters: PlayStation CEO Hideaki Nishino’s remarks serve as a nice disclaimer for gamers expecting the PS5 Pro to change the gaming console scene.
While speaking in an interview with Variety, Hideaki Nishino pointed out that PS5 Pro is a consumer choice meant for players looking for the best visuals and gaming performance. In other words, he does not suggest grabbing the new model with expectations that it will be from a completely new generation.
” just wanted to say that the Pro is not a next gen. It is still in the PS5 generation. PS5 Pro will do everything what PS5 does. So it’s a consumer choice.

Hideaki clarified that the PS5 Pro is only meant for current-gen consumers who are willing to spend a pretty penny.
You can grab yourself a PS5 Pro from November 7, 2024, as it will be available in most retailers.
