The PlayStation 5 Pro's modest 10% CPU upgrade is its primary limitation, affecting performance in CPU-bound games like Baldur's Gate 3, which still struggle to maintain a steady 60 FPS. While the console offers some improvements over the base model, its Zen2 CPU lags behind current mainstream CPUs. Additionally, the PS5 Pro shares limitations with the base model in 4K, 120Hz output due to the HDMI controller. The PS4 Image Enhancement feature offers some visual improvements for older games but can impact performance and cause glitches.

Nintendo has announced that its upcoming Switch successor will be backward-compatible with existing Switch games, a move that could ease the transition to the new console and enhance its initial game library. This decision is significant given the Switch's record-breaking software sales and extensive game collection, including hits like The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario titles. Backward compatibility not only adds value for current Switch owners but also offers newcomers a vast library from the start, aligning with Nintendo's strategy of creating a more unified gaming ecosystem.
