[Tom Warren] The PS5 Pro still hasn’t sold out in the US or UK. Looks like the $700 price point will mean this console will be readily available this holiday (lemmy.world)

This happened with the ps3, the chief at playstation at the time said we wouldnt be able to find them at retail. My friends and I made some fun snapping pics of them sitting on shelves.

We were way into the game news scene at the time.

The PS3 also had damn few games to play at launch. If it wasn't for Sony's decision to ship it with a BD-ROM drive it probably would have been a total flop. Home theater nerds saved the PS3.

And I'm thankful for that because, when the promotion was right, I bought one. Warhawk, MAG, Demons souls and KZ2. What a great generation of games.

Playing Killzone 3 right now and I still find it impressive despite having a PlayStation 5.
