“but does is matter if X Japanese popular IP is not coming to Xbox?” echoes of stupidity sound even more stupid. Great to see Space Marine 2 at no.2! game is freakin’ amazing! 
Planning to play it near the holiday season! I really want a cool looking retail edition for this game, hopefully Capcom will give us one at some point!
Correct me if I am wrong but Ι don’t think they can do otherwise, IIRC Pro support is mandatory for 3rd parties.
I honestly dont know. If that´s the case… well, another trap of the 3rd party approach.
It was expected and same thing will happen with Indiana Jones , Doom, and other games. If they want to make extra revenue, then they’ll make Pro versions of their games on Playstation. I wouldn’t be shocked if something like Sea of Thieves even add support for it due to it’s popularity.
I don’t see any issue with it. and it creates goodwill about being caretakers for their IPs.
All these Xbox games run with dynamic resolution. Just by being a higher resolution than the PS5 makes them enhanced. So if a game is running 1440p native and now runs at 1800p or 4K because of the power, then it’s enhanced.
No big deal.
The economy is definitely a factor but it’s also because gaming has shifted massively in the last few years
Not only are games more expensive now, there’s also more games releasing than ever and people only have so much time and money
There’s also the major change in the way people play games, for many people all they play are black hole games or F2P stuff, when you have people so heavily invested into Fortnite, CoD, Minecraft, GTA, Genshin etc, trying to get them to fork over £70 for something they might get a few hours of entertainment from is a big ask when they could just continue playing the game they love or invest that money into those games instead
The thing is, no one outside of a tiny minority of console warriors cares if an $800 console runs a game slightly better than a $500 console. (It should!)
If people stopped over-analyzing those zoomed-in, side by side freeze frame comparisons on Digital Foundry, because they can’t tell the difference otherwise, they might realize that it really doesn’t matter much. 
Totally a non-issue Xbox games run-on high-end PCs in an enhanced mode. i see no reason for making a pro not run as best as it can.
This, the only people that will make a big deal about this are fanboys lost in this fanboy console war
The average person isn’t going to give a damn about things like Diablo looking or running slightly better and they certainly aren’t going to care at those prices
PS5 Pro support can mean a wide range of things, from barely noticeable to transformative. All they have to do to get the label is support a higher base dynamic rez target, for instance. It’s not an important label without context of what is new.
Going Live
The requirements to get the PS5 Pro Enhanced label is so utterly easy that it is meaningless. Every situation will need to be taken on a case by case basis. Nearly every game engine will automatically support this with point #2 listed below.
The game plays best on PCs anyways. The main benefit from PC play is going above 60 FPS.
Marketing label list:
PlayStation goes on to continue that games may also be given the ‘PS5 Pro Enhanced’ label if they offer any of the following enhancements:
- Increased target resolution for titles that run a fixed resolution on the standard console
- Increased target maximum resolution for titles that run at variable resolution on the standard console
- Increased target frame rate for titles that target a fixed frame rate on the standard console
- Inclusion of PS5 Pro Raytracing effects

This I didn’t expect at all.
J Allard has joined Amazon:
I’d been wondering what happened to him. He was kinda the face of Xbox for a while there, but then he somewhat abruptly disappeared. But looking at his Wikipedia page just now, it appears he simply moved on to running the Zune group.
edit: Added better article

So what you saying is we will get Amazon Zune? Dream is back!
You know… done right, I might even buy such a product. Do it as an Android fork, with a focus on music and inspired by the Zune OS, and I’d probably get one.
edit: A semi-serious speculation could be that he’s brought on to work on an Amazon portable gaming device. Those are all the rage now, and his experience with Xbox, Zune, and the cancelled Courier tablet, are definitely applicable to such a venture.
Also, he’s reporting to Panos Panay, who was involved with Surface at Microsoft… so, yeah.
