Because the scalpers bought a whole bunch. From PlayStation’s perspective it’s a success because they got paid.

I bought mine. I had a PS4 Pro and was intentionally holding out for the 5 Pro. I was surprised how easy it was to get one, stock was no issue on launch day. I’m really happy with it, but they aren’t cheap.

Well he says he “thinks” it hasn’t had a negative impact. It’s not even been a week though lol

I also think it will never negatively impact the console sales. It’s just another product on top of already ongoing console sales.

Whether it’s actually profitable, considering the production cost and all, is something different though. I think for the foreseeable future people will probably buy the older models over the more expensive new ones anyway. Unless you got money to burn there’s little reason to upgrade to the Pro.

So they only expected to sell 100?

“We didn’t expect to sell any, but we are pleasantly surprised to see it has sold at least 2 units.”
