Scalpers looking to capitalize on the recently launched PlayStation 5 Pro console have reportedly been struggling to make a profit off of them. The PlayStation 5 Pro is an upgraded version of the PS5 with a faster GPU, deep learning-based image upscaling technology, and optimized games that can run at 4K and 60 FPS, along with an internal 2 TB storage. Unlike the vanilla PS5, the Pro model does not come with a disc drive.
The PS5 Pro launched globally on November 7 with a price point of $699 USD. The PS5 Pro's price is extremely controversial, making it one of the most expensive consoles to be released to date after inflation, and the second most-expensive in PlayStation's history. Video game consoles are prime targets for scalpers to take advantage of, with the original PlayStation 5 being subject to this back in 2020. The PS5 Pro has also become a target of scalping, though the results are different compared to the vanilla PS5's release four years ago.
