Sony was working on the PS5 Pro even before the PS5 launched, since the company designs "everything" while being "one ahead in our mind," Sony Interactive Entertainment's Platform Business Group CEO, Hideaki Nishino, has revealed.
This comes from a new interview with Variety alongside SIE's Studio Business Group CEO, Hermen Hulst. Nishino says the company "learned a lot" from the previous console generation's PS4 Pro, and found that "in addition to the PS4, 20% of customers actually got the PS4 Pro," too. Although "there was a conversation around whether we wanted to do another Pro or not" for the PS5, the company ultimately started working on it as "another five-year project" before the base PS5 actually launched.
