I kind of agree with you here. The Pro is a great piece of tech, a good boost forward, but the expectations for what it should be seem to be so far beyond what it is intended to be. After years of griping about image quality, we finally have pristine image quality and a bunch are just brushing it aside. It's weird that great improvements are suddenly ho-hum in much of the media, though I did think most of the reviews for the system were very positive. There is a Nintendo wave right now, though, that is likely affecting things. It looks like a lot of people that wanted the NES mini just threw up their hands and are buying Lime Green 3ds's instead (and Pokemon certainly helps, I'd bet).
Hell, I don't think I've seen the Playstation cards knocked down so far save for the occasional Amiibo rush. It's the second blue wall to fall this week. (He-yo, political joke!)

The media are creating this contest, MS are fueling it and their fans are running with it. The Pro is up against THREE aggressive fronts and, as I always say, perception is EVERYTHING. Perhaps it will still perform well but right now I see negative article after negative article in the offing with the potential (because we won't get specific sales numbers) of headlines like 'Why did the Pro fail?'. And once that happens, the Pro will fail. It baffles me why so many people who's livelihood depends on the gaming industly are attacking the very things that keeps them in work. They're like the snake eating its own tail.

Well, where were you back in 2013?
That was the time when people got crazy about spec and real/native 1080p resolution. And even then it was hard to tell the diference.
You can not blame people for expecting real and tangible upgrades and being desapoited when they can't even see the benefits of the Pro.
A lot of players are happy with their PS4s and Xones
