Despite lukewarm initial reception, the PS5 Pro's sales projections remain robust. Following its recent launch at a $700 price point, analysts predict sales comparable to the PS4 Pro, albeit slightly lower. Ampere Analysis' Piers Harding-Rolls notes a significant price difference (40-50%) between the PS5 and PS5 Pro, contrasting with the smaller gap between the PS4 and PS4 Pro. While this higher price may dampen demand, Harding-Rolls believes PlayStation enthusiasts will likely prioritize the enhanced features. Ampere projects approximately 1.3 million PS5 Pro units sold by November 2024, around 400,000 fewer than the PS4 Pro's initial launch sales. The firm anticipates a total sell-through of roughly 13 million units within five years, mirroring the PS4 Pro's 12% share of overall PS4 sales. The definition of "sell-through" in this context refers to direct consumer purchases from retailers.

Meanwhile, the PS5 Pro's enhanced capabilities are fueling speculation about a potential new handheld console. Lead architect Mark Cerny confirmed performance improvements for PSVR2 games, specifically mentioning higher resolution outputs enabled by the Pro's upgraded GPU. He also highlighted compatibility with the PS5 Pro's AI-assisted upscaling feature, PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution, for PSVR2 games in the future. Furthermore, the PS5 Pro's seamless integration with the PS Portal remote player has reignited earlier rumors of a portable PlayStation console capable of running PS5 games, although Sony has yet to officially comment on such a device.
