International Price Differences Fuel Consumer Concerns
The PS5 Pro's price announcement has generated significant buzz, particularly on platforms like Twitter (X). The $700 USD US price 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 $799.99, and £699.99 in the UK. These prices significantly exceed the equivalent of $700 USD based on current exchange rates.
