I must admit I was quite sceptical regarding the Pro. This generation I went with PC gaming, however, I still love console gaming, and one of the things I like is its 'closed system' characteristics. When I buy a console I know that I will not have to upgrade for quite some time, and all games that I buy will simply work as the devs intended.
So, with the Pro, I thought that this paradigm would be broken, and we would start seeing a lot of games not properly working on base PS4 (severe framerate issues, etc.).
Of course there are huge differences between base PS4 and PS4 Pro games, but I think base PS4 owners don't really feel neglected, so, in my opinion, Sony did a great job with the Base/Pro ecosystem. Kudos to them.
I just don’t know if, when PS5 is released, some users will not buy it in order to wait for a possible PS5 pro.
