He says:
“I saw some data that really influenced me,” he explained. “It suggested that there’s a dip mid-console lifecycle where the players who want the very best graphical experience will start to migrate to PC, because that’s obviously where it’s to be had.
"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.”

So you want to believe "those people" has nothing do with the mid-cycle dip he discusses? Why does he lead with the dip then?
I mean, as he spells out, this strategy was a result of looking at sales data, seeing a dip mid-console lifecycle.
You want to extract some wording from the context of mid-cycle dip, when the dip in data was exactly the starting point.
"Keeping those people" they lose in the dip means the people they potentially "had" at the start of the gen.
Not attracting people they never had at the start of the gen.    You can't keep what you never had.
Those people were never in their eco-system, and thus would never affect any "dip".

But hey, if it's not your responsibility to want/try to understand the speaker, so you win, I guess.

Dude, you're doing it worng. You're supposed to read the headline and not bother with what he actually said. I mean, do you even internet? (/s)

But in all seriousness, it's nice to see that some people actually read the OP rather than use a sentence out of context just to attack a company they clearly don't like as their posting history clearly shows.
