Since the concept of the pro was leaked before E3, nearly three months ago at this point, and since Sony was dead set on revealing this no earlier than september, the internet has had three months to get hyped. Everyone using their imagination to try and figure out what the neo was, with Sony saying nothing the entire time. Tragic overhype is what occured, not only for the pro itself, but for the damn Playstation Meeting keynote itself. People were expecting new game announcements, old games being upgraded, half life 3, and whatever else as if it was an E3 conference. Seriously, big time overhype.
The console was hyped up to be a complete overhaul of the PS4, and that's just not what it was supposed to be. A PS4 is a PS4, so the pro wasn't going to look different, why? Because it wouldn't be PS4, it would be a PS5. It wasn't going to have a different shape, or be all chromed out or whatever, just a better PS4. After seeing what Horizon and Spiderman and Mass Effect looked like, I'm fucking hyped
Edit: Forgot to mention the lack of a 4k blu ray player, really dumb
