Nilay: 我认为PS5 Pro的发布新闻甚至可能比今年的iPhone发布会更受关注,这反映出许多人对PS5 Pro的关注度。这不仅关乎游戏本身,也关乎索尼公司对游戏未来的规划和方向。 PS5 Pro引发了更多关注,因为它代表着索尼对未来游戏发展方向的一种强有力的声明,而微软则采取了相反的策略,这使得游戏行业内部出现了动荡,并造成了赢家和输家的局面。至少在智能手机领域,我们已经报道智能手机多年,从2011年Verge创立之初就关注智能手机,而现在感觉智能手机的浪潮已经进入了一个稳定状态,尽管一些最有趣的智能手机依然存在。 PS5 Pro的发布也反映了索尼对游戏未来发展方向的思考,以及微软公司在游戏行业动荡时期所采取的相反策略。 Alex: PS5 Pro的主要升级在于其配备了更大的GPU,拥有更好的光线追踪和AI升级技术。然而,其700美元的高昂价格以及取消光驱的设计引发了玩家的诸多不满。 PS5 Pro取消光驱的设计非常奇怪,特别是考虑到其高昂的价格和目标用户群体可能更喜欢实体媒体。 PS5 Pro的高价位和无光驱设计,使得许多玩家感到困惑和不满。 David: 索尼推出PS5 Pro,其根本原因在于他们希望用户从他们的商店购买游戏,并不断购买升级。 索尼并不希望玩家使用光盘,他们希望玩家从索尼商店购买游戏,并在游戏无法正常运行时不断购买新的升级内容,这正是索尼所期望的。 PS5 Pro的发布也反映了索尼对游戏未来发展方向的思考,以及微软公司在游戏行业动荡时期所采取的相反策略。 索尼希望玩家从其商店购买游戏,并不断购买升级,这与PS5 Pro的高价位和无光驱设计相呼应。
