The praise came from the people who have jobs being pixel peepers, not people who actually enjoy playing games.
From a perspective of it looking slightly better when you pause a game, take a screenshot, and enlarge it so you can then discuss about the fruity bokeh or whatever the shit, the PS5 Pro is much improved.
For everyone who just plays games on it, it’s essentially unnoticeable.
(This applies a lot to PC gaming stuff as well, but it looks like nVidia stepped on their uh, leather coat, so hard with the 5000 series that not even the pixeleyist peepers had much positive to say.)
There was one publication that I was subscribed to, which I cannot recall the name of now, that just heaped article after article about how great the PS5 Pro was, and how it was revolutionizing gaming, how much better it was than the PS5, and how it’s sold out everywhere and the best console ever created. Every single game that had a single digit framerate improvement was a full article about how awesome the Pro was.
Some hyperbole on my part, of course, but I did get sick of them praising the PS5 Pro, and the comments section following lock-step, so I ditched it. I just couldn’t understand the dissonance in the communities, especially since neither produced numbers to back up claims.
I bet if I dug around my archived bookmark backups I could find it, and I bet they are still singing praises about the thing.
