If we're being fair $700 USD is $340 in 1995 USD. So expensive but only a bit more than the PS1 launched at.

But that console also aggressively went down in price in a few short years which does not happen any more. And if we're really being fair we'd look at other countries like Canada where we don't know the launch price but $1000 is likely which is $542 in 1995 CAD, or Japan where the price is 12000 yen which would be 97,964 in 1994 yen.

At launch, a PS1 was borderline-experimental technology that you couldn't realistically get anywhere else at the time for that price, even in the PC space, with a healthy dose of exclusive software and peripherals to boot. This is just an embarrassingly outdated proprietary PC with a Sony sticker that doesn't offer the user much that they can't get anywhere else for cheaper, and that's including the pitiful games Sony has to offer today. The inflation argument holds no water in a completely different market; a Motorola StarTAC was practically a steal at 1000$ in 1996 when nobody had mobile phones, that doesn't justify a 2000$ price tag for a mediocre 2024's phone that does the same thing every other phone in the market does but maybe slightly better.

On the contrary, I have yet to run across anyone defending this monolithic paperweight. You could say sony fucked themselves over hard that not even their haggard fanboys are thinking "hmmm yes, a lack of optical drive is just what I'm after".

Same here. This broke people. There might be some that defend it publicly but they cry in private. These are big problems the PS5Pro has.

I think it holds some water but maybe about as much as a burlap sack.

I'm not entirely serious.

I really miss 90s tech where everything was cool and new and exciting. These days it's all an iteration on an iteration, barely worth looking into. I know it's going to be shit, I know every PS5 Pro game was possible on a 2011 PC disregarding incompetent developers, I already have 40 years worth of great games to play and don't need any more for the rest of my life which could end at any moment.
