I agree that you lose a lot of coverage on mainstream news sites by announcing a new console revision the same day as (literally minutes after) iPhone 7 but I don't think iPhone 7 is going to steal a lot of its exposure on gaming sites.

PS4 Pro seems to get the spotlight on many sites so I think they're fine. Consoles only reach mainstream media when a new generation of hardware is announced anyway.

 

PS4 Pro has just been added to Amazon for preorder. If that does well, I don't think Sony will have many regrets

Yeah - OP was never suggesting gaming websites would focus on a phone over console. Just overall media coverage.

No. I know. Hence the "I agree that you lose a lot of coverage on mainstream news sites [...]"

I'm just arguing that it probably won't hurt Pro and Slim sales that much.

 

Besides: "I notice all those that were stating 'different markets, etc' are not in here with any data to suggest I was wrong."
With this comment you tried to call out people who pointed out to you that a lot of potential PS4 Pro customers probably visit gaming sites now and then. So here I am showing you that PS4 Pro news indeed reached those sites.
