In this country, the PS5 Pro costs 800 euros. Currently, we are not out of stock and readily available. The PS5 had to contend with availability issues at its launch, but that was also due to the global chip shortage of 2020.
The availability of the PS5 Pro is also currently making life more difficult for scalpers – people who bought PS5 Pro consoles to resell them for higher prices.
Are you surprised that the price of the PS5 Pro probably didn’t have a negative impact on sales?
