I would say the PS5 pro doesn't make sense either. It is such an unbalanced config for $800+ system

Effectively a zen plus / zen 2 CPU paired with a 4070.
So you are limited to
either 40 fps gaming
Or scale from 800p to 4K using PSSR

Curious device, imo.

And it's not upgradeable. You're stuck with what they give you, for a year or two, until they release the next version. And pray they make the new games work on the older console.

Or you spend $1500 and get a decent gaming PC that'll last years.
