Well, that is a valid worry. Some devs will possibly "move on'' to PS4Pro and make their vision on it and then scale back to PS4 and X1 and we may see very bad performance on vanilla consoles. I don't think it'll be imediate, but give it one year and it'll be quite possible.

Other than that PS4 OG is the vast majority of sales base which they make or lose their profit on...
How long does high performance AAA game dev take?  
So if they are starting their purported Pro-centric game RIGHT NOW, it will be out in 2 years optimistically.
Well, 2 years from now would be when new PS5 gen would be kicking in had Sony not done half-gen update.

People want to take the normal-existing-status-quo performance problems and attribute it to Pro.
When if we are real, we know devs would let that performance issues happen without any Pro model.
Sony is clearly using Slim to push MASS sales volume, which will CONTINUE to attract dev attention.

If people worry about PS4 performance, they should demand variable resolution games.  For reals.

Yes it takes 2 to 3 years bottom up... But perhaps in the last year or even months there are still valid time to give more perfomance on Pro and optimize less for og... I'm not very worried on it, I just said that it can lead to less optimization on og, as is the case when multiple platforms are involved.
