Think about how you like to play video games. Are you the type to sink into your couch, controller in hand, TV across the living room, for a few hours of Madden? <\/em>If so, Sony\u2019s new PlayStation 5 Pro is not for you<\/a>. But if you find yourself leaning forward, creeping ever closer to the screen, looking for every clue hidden in the grass or every tiny twitchy graphical advantage, a $700 console might not be such a silly idea.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n On this episode of The Vergecast<\/em><\/a>, The Verge<\/em>\u2019s Sean Hollister<\/a> joins the show to talk about his experience with the PS5 Pro. We go through what you can expect from this super-powered new gaming machine, which games and which gamers might get the most from it, and why the PS5 Pro might have more in common with a gaming PC than a standard console.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n But before we get to that, there\u2019s some news this week to talk about. After a hotly contested election, and looking ahead to the upcoming Trump presidency<\/a>, we spend a few minutes talking through our plans to cover<\/a> the new administration \u2014 and how we\u2019re thinking differently than we did in 2016. Once we\u2019re done with that, we talk about our reviews of the new Mac Mini<\/a> and MacBook Pro<\/a>, and the way they seem to nicely simplify the process of buying a Mac. For the first time in a long time, the lineup makes a lot of sense.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Then it\u2019s gaming time. In addition to the PS5 Pro, Sean talks us through the news that Nintendo\u2019s next console will be backwards compatible<\/a> with Switch games, but cautions that the announcement isn\u2019t necessarily unequivocally good news. Then he gives us an update on Nintendo\u2019s fight against emulators<\/a>, which has taken a bit of a confusing turn.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
