Consoles are being subsidized by their manufacturer in this case sony.
So they take a loss on the console and make up for it on games.
Sony doesnt seem to  be able to take such a big loss on their hardware anymore and this price of the pro is an indication of that.

Speculations are saying this is but a taste for the ps6 will probably be even more expensive by either stopping subsidizing completely or reducing the subsidizing.

I remember hearing 32 TF's as well and thought I was mistaken. I always thought it odd that they said 42% faster rendering and yet triple the original PS5's 10TF's. Now I see why xbox skipped a pro model,if 4 extra YF's was going to cost $350 more than the discless version. I do wonder why xbox is charging $450 for the discless model when Aonys been at $400 since launch and the disc version can be had for less. Then they go and add a TB of storage and charge $600? I mean what are they thinking with these prices? You can buy an add on card for $30 more than that and the card offers versatility.
Sorry didn't mean to hijack a PS5 article but I'm just curious what these 2 companies are doing.

I hate to be that guy but I think you made an error on the ram used for the gpu,should be gddr6. We'll at least I hope. The inclusion of ddr5 for the os was a smart decision. Doesn't take away from games and there's less latency for its intended purpose.

Bahahaha!!!

For WEEKS, after... Oops... BEFORE... the announcement of the PS5 ProNOUN, shills (especially Digital Foundry, WCCF-non-TECH, ect.) were benching & PREACHING that the PS5 ProNOUN were using 30+TFLOPS as a crutch for a shilling/marketing campaign (against TODAY'S
DEDICATED GPUs) to the unwise and  fanatics for the PS5 ProNOUN  performance to push a deliberate & sickly LIE that was orchestrated by Sony and its  cronies.

BuUtTt today, DF (and minions) are redacting (well, not exactly 😏) those CLEAR *FOOLISH STATEMENTS* due to the true reveal of the PS5 ProNOUN specs that it only has a total of 16TF (more than a 100% false / LIE exaggeration)... 😂... by saying today, "TFLOPS don't tell the full story" right, DF?! 😏

It's one thing to be just wrong about the facts but one could man-up and just ADMIT IT to being just WRONG... but... for Richard & team to come at folks like this (insult to simple-minds intelligence)... goes beyond just degrading and shameful all due to DF's foolish pride matter more to them than integrity, SMH!

After this DF, ect. total unaccountability lie nonsense, if any reader still trust DF, ect. findings, WELP...
