If we look for and buy a PS5 Pro, we will have no problem finding it in stock and at its suggested retail price of 799.99 euros without optical drive or vertical support. This reality tells us what was an open secret that Sony’s new console did not meet the expected success, and that Sales are not good.

It makes sense, since the moment the PS5 Pro was introduced caused many rejections among users thanks to the high selling price and almost doubles the price of the PS5 Slim in the digital version. It was a splash of cold water for retailers who were hoping to get back into business by depleting the console and reselling it for a lot more money.

Karma has set in and many retailers are forced to try to get rid of the PS5 Pro units they purchased. sell them below their suggested retail price. This means that they are loss-making, although they try to reduce their losses by adjusting the price as much as possible to the recommended one. On average, the difference is about 20 or 30 euros.

What enables them to do business is disk drive resalewhich is still sold out and is resold at very high prices. In an effort to help consumers avoid paying the high prices demanded by retailers, some retailers are offering bundles that include a PS5 Pro console and a disc drive for €899.99, which is less than what we would have to pay if we bought both separately at their suggested retail price .

It’s easy to find hard drives for the PS5 Slim and PS5 Pro in Spain with an average price of 150 euros on the used market. This resale leaves a profit margin of about 30 euros, making it much less lucrative than reselling consoles. Note that after the launch of the PS5, some retailers were offering the console for two to three times the MSRP.

Going back to PS5 Pro sales, they may improve during the Christmas campaign. If not, maybe Sony will end up considering a price adjustment earlier than expected, even seeing the dominant position it currently has in the market compared to the Xbox Series X and Series S. It’s unlikely, unfortunately.
