La PlayStation 5 Pro It was a five-year project, and its development began even before the launch of the PS5, as confirmed by Hideaki Nishino, director of the platforms business group of Sony Interactive Entertainment. Although the PS5 was officially launched on November 19, 2020, Sony was already working on its mid-generation update before.
In an interview with Variety, Nishino commented:
“With the PS4 Pro in the previous generation, we learned a lot. About 20% of users chose the Pro version instead of the standard PS4. This shows that there is a demand for a high-end option, and not just among the most committed users; Many new users also joined PlayStation thanks to the PS4 Pro.”
It seems that the development of this higher version of the consoleit had been planned for a long time.
