Get the PS5 now or wait for the pro? (lemmy.ml)

I’m looking to get back into console gaming. PlayStation has been around for most of my life and I always played on that console. I am conflicted if I should wait for the PS5 PRO or just go get the PS5 now because what would be the net benefit of waiting versus getting a console now. What do you all think about this conundrum? Get a console now or wait for the mid refresh or whatever they are this stage in the game now?

I am not interested in getting a PC. Let’s not get into that discussion.

Did Sony announce a PS5 Pro? I think its just a rumor at this time. And even if so, we don't know what the system can do, what restrictions or problems it could have and what it will cost. We don't know if the console will be available without a problem. We don't know when the thing comes out either, if ever. It's incredible hard to know if its worth waiting, if we don't know anything.

And second, if you really need a console right now, then buy one. My thumb of rule is, if you can wait, then wait. So this is ultimately your decision.
