Adjusted for inflation, the prices of each console as of August 2024 are as follows:
- PlayStation - $625
- PlayStation 2 - $560
- PlayStation 3 - $950
- PlayStation 4- $545
- PlayStation 4 Pro - $530
- PlayStation 5 - $610
- PlayStation 5 Pro - $699
As you can see from this list, the PlayStation 5 Pro, although more expensive than most consoles, is not too far behind and inferior to the PlayStation 3. Although there is a nuance here, because the PS3 supported games from PS1 and PS2 disks, and was one of the most popular devices for playing content from disks.
However, if we take into account that each of these consoles came with a pre-installed disk drive, unlike PS5 Pro, the price of the latest console from Sony rises to $779, which is $169 more expensive than PlayStation 5 and $171 less than PlayStation 3.
But if we take into account the price of each Sony console at the time of their release, the PlayStation 5 Pro is the undisputed leader.
