They are completely consistent with what he actually said:

"We wanted to keep those people within our eco-system by giving them the very best and very highest [performance quality].
So the net result of those thoughts was PlayStation 4 Pro – and, by and large, a graphical approach to game improvement.”

 

The issue is that compared to PC's hardware, its not exactly impressive...

Don't get me wrong, ps4Pro, for $400 is reallyyyyyyyyy epic value and the techniques it uses for upscaling is quite interesting and awesome. But it is not impressive against PC hardware (but of course, PC hardware costs more).

Again, as they spell out, they are aiming to remove the SLUMP, not increase their competitiveness beyond what they had at early gen.
Your critique here would apply equally to when PS4 was originally introduced, right?  That means it's beyond the scope of the "slump".
If their goal was addressing power-no-matter-the-cost, then they wouldn't be talking about a slump vs early gen,
they would be talking about increasing their target market above the original peak, rather than reducing a slump following that peak.
You're ignoring some pretty crucial parts of what they're saying,
and then assuming that not spelling out the limitations of their market (price) means they must mean unlimited price/market.
Since you yourself easily show why the latter interpretation doesn't work, perhaps you should adjust your reading of their statement?
Anybody but a literalist who ultra-focuses on some narrow info they personally are heavily invested in doesn't have a problem seeing that.
Actual human communication requires flexibility, not trying to out-lawyer the speaker into proving them wrong for something they didn't want to say.
