Global Backlash Over PS5 Pro Pricing

International Price Variations Spark Consumer Concerns

The PS5 Pro's pricing announcement has generated considerable buzz on social media, particularly Twitter (X). The $700 USD US price point is already causing consternation, but international consumers face even steeper costs.

Japanese gamers will pay 119,980 yen (approximately $847 USD), while the European price is set at $799.99 and £699.99 in the UK. These prices significantly exceed the equivalent of $700 in their respective currencies.
