"Is it worth buying a PS4 Pro in 2021?"

That is the question on the mind of every gamer who wasn't able to or still can't get their hands on a PlayStation 5.

The former Sony flagship console was released back in 2016 and retailed for $399, with the price going down as far as $299 in subsequent years.

Although not many were sold on the more powerful hardware that it possessed that was capable of running certain games at either 4K resolution or 60 fps, it was still considered a commercial success and it continues to make up a sizable chunk of the roughly 115 million units (and growing) of PlayStation 4 that has been sold.

With that said, even though Sony has since confirmed that they will continue to support the PlayStation 4 for the next three to four years following the release of their latest flagship console, it's a statement that remains vague at best.

After all, Demon's Souls is available only on the PlayStation 5.

It's only a matter of time before Sony and other studios making exclusive PlayStation titles decide that it'll be easier for them to develop a game exclusively for a console with much more powerful hardware than to make sure that it works on both the weaker PlayStation 4 Pro (and PlayStation 4) and the PlayStation 5.
