It turns out that people aren't too excited about paying $700 for the PS5 Pro and would rather spend their money elsewhere.

Sales for Sony's upgraded PlayStation 5 appear to have stumbled after only a few months, as console sales in the US drop across the board.

The pace of PS5 Pro US sales has "fallen behind" that of the PS4 Pro. That's according to games industry analyst Mat Piscatella, who used Circana data to conclude that whilst the PS5 Pro enjoyed a solid start, January 2025's hardware spend in the US was 45 percent lower when compared to the same period a year ago.

Sony has not released official PS5 Pro sales figures. However, its latest earnings results included Pro sales for the first time, and showed that launch-aligned, PlayStation 5 is now just 1.5 million units behind PlayStation 4 during the same period of its lifecycle (75m vs 76.5m).
