PS5 Pro 预购于 2024 年 9 月 26 日开始,尽管价格受到批评,但仍很快售罄。标准版和 30 周年限量版均同时接受预订。
PS5 Pro 30 周年纪念版价格今天在索尼网站上公布。令人惊讶的是,限量版仅有 12,300 件,美国售价为 999 美元,英国售价为 959.99 英镑。特别版的成本高于标准版,因为其设计采用了classicPS1 主机颜色。
特别版在英国几分钟内就被抢购一空。
此外,据报道 PS5 Pro 在多个国家也很快售空。 X 上的用户Alejandroid1979分享说,售价 1000 澳元的新 PS5 Pro 排名第一。游戏类畅销榜第一名。
经过数周的网上抨击,PS5 Pro 的预购似乎在第一天就表现良好。造成这种情况的原因可能有多种。
绝大多数购买都是为了出售。

One reason for the immediate sell-out of the PS5 pro special edition could be the motive of reselling at higher rates. The people who opt for such schemes are known as scalpers.
Since the 30th-anniversary edition was limited, it had the natural potential of quickly selling out. Scalpers taking on the opportunity got their hands on the customized console first.
Soon after the new PS console sold out on the official website, it started appearing on eBay, with a price reaching $10000 USD. Either way, it’s a win-win for Sony as it is still a sale for them even if the console ends up in a scalper’s hands. As commented by an X user @RinoTheBouncer “..if scalpers didn’t know it’s highly demanded, they wouldn’t have wasted their money”.
It’s unlikely that the only buyers of PS5 Pro are the ones who want to resell it. There is another side that genuinely wants to experience the new upgraded console, which is gaming enthusiasts.
There are many gamers waiting in line to get their access to PlayStation Direct and buy it despite the anger over the price in a few days.
While many of these players are frustrated over the long waiting list, others are satisfied with the purchase.
In a recent interview with GameSpot, Toshi Aoki, Sony’s product manager said that PS5 pro “is for the enthusiasts, the most engaged players,”.
Apparently, this is what seems to be happening with the quick sell-out.
