I own a PlayStation 5 Pro. It still hasn’t replaced my regular old PS5

digitaltrends.com:

When I first got my PlayStation 5 Pro, I had a whirlwind first week with it. I spent days on end testing as many games as I could to determine how much of an upgrade it really was over my base PS5. I looked at five-minute chunks of games like Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart for hours, comparing every graphics mode on both systems. At the end of my testing, the result was clear: The PS5 Pro was indeed the more powerful console and, frankly, the most capable gaming device I had in my entire home.

So why, just two weeks later, am I still using my regular old PS5 so much?

Let me take you back to November 5, the day before my PS5 Pro review would be published. It was the end of the day and I’d just finished editing my write-up. With that task complete, I was free to take my consoles out of testing mode and start using them as I normally would. For the week leading up to my review, I’d been playing musical chairs with my systems. I was switching them between TVs, breaking them down to get photos, and closely examining games rather than casually playing them. With those duties done, I could hook them up to their final entertainment center resting places.

My apartment has two TVs. One set of consoles sits on a TV in my office. This is the primary screen that I test games on, so I decided to hook my PS5 Pro up there as I figured it would become the main platform I reviewed console games on moving forward. My living room TV has consoles connected to it as well, but it’s a more casual setup. My Xbox Series S is hooked up there, where it acts as a streaming box. I set up a stray Switch dock in case I ever wanted to break out something like Super Mario Party Jamboree when friends are over. With an extra PS5 now in the house, I decided to hook up my old slim model there too. Maybe my girlfriend could use it (she’s dying to play Infinity Nikki), or maybe I’d play a bit there sometime when I was too lazy to get off the couch. Either way, it was meant to be a backup.
