I don't think this will occur. Console games generally get more advanced and better looking whilst maintaining or even increasing native resolution as developers learn the tricks and become familiar with the console. IE you won't see Call of Duty 2018 on PS4 running at 900P native and looking worse or the same as Call of duty Black Ops 3.

I was not reffering to something as drastic as 900P, but whatever resolution north of 1080p they use before their reconstruction thingamagig.  As games get more demanding and they are optimizing around 6TFlop Scorpios and 10TFLOP GPU's...that native res is going to be pared back on PS4 Pro and it will start looking softer and softer in comparison.

 

That is just the nature of the beast. 500GFlops difference caused it, surely ~2 TFLOP difference will too.

I see what you mean now. You could be right but another aspect is that by the time the Scorpio rolls around, the PS4 will have sold about 70 million units whilst the Pro would probably have sold 5 million(rough estimate I know), so I think developers will focus their efforts on the console that has more users, rather than the most powerful console at the time. We saw this with the PS2 and original Xbox where the PS2 had a massive lead and got most of the focus and exclusives. But we shall see when the Scorpio rolls around. Alot can change in 14 months.
