From Circana analyst Matt Piscatella's BlueSky account:

PlayStation 5 Pro accounted for 19% of total PlayStation 5 units sold in the month and 28% of dollars. Launch month dollar sales of PlayStation 5 Pro were more than 50% higher than the November 2016 launch month sales of PlayStation 4 Pro, while units were 12% lower.

Considering that the standard PS5 is still selling for higher than its launch price 4 years later (despite still facing challenges building up an exclusive library to justify the cost), I'd say that people are just dumb and will pay any price to have their shiny gaming console.

I kind of get that. I stopped buying PlayStations when the PS3 was so hard to get, for so long.

I've loved every PlayStation I've owned.
