PS4Pro was made to compete with PC - Sony Exec.

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.

Umm... Its not exactly my problem to interpret what he is saying the right way. Its his job, as the CEO to ensure what he says is interpreted the same way with everyone that reads it which it really doesn't. There are many people that interpret what he said the same way I interpreted it and that is not limited to vgchartz. Otherwise, this thread wouldn't be this long and the only one that would be arguing is me. Its not my job to put words in his sentences that it isn't there. If he really meant to say compete against PCs for that price point or only to shrinken the gap, than he should have just said so but he didn't.

And they didn't say they are aiming to remove the SLUMP and not increase their competitiveness beyond what they had at early gen. They said that "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.”

Which, the way I see it means that they are trying to keep the people from upgrading to PC by giving them the very best and very highest performance quailty which they are trying to achieve via PS4Pro and a large graphical approach to game improvement. Where does it say they don't want to increase their competitiveness beyond what they had at early gen?
