I think I may have seen this wrong. I'd always assumed the PS4 Pro was for the 'educated gamers' market and that your average Joe would likely still plump for the PS4slim (at least to begin with) but the more I note that gap between the Pro and the Slim, the more I'm starting to wonder whether news of the PS4 pro has already filtered through to the mainstream market. This is a little premature because we still haven't had the PS4slim bundles but it's going to be interesting to see just how the Pro performs once the OG PS4 is out of the way, the PS4 slim is marketted more heavily and the PS4pro is actually released.

I see what I see and will never pretend I see something I don't. Of course that doesn't mean my eyes can't deceive me. If I'm wrong, I'll be the first to tell you that.

IF you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

I think it's more the power of the name.  "Pro" is a very positive term in terms of connotation.  I mean, if you are looking at getting a PS4, do you get the normal one, the slim, or the Pro?  The very term Pro makes it more appealing.

Now Christmas, we might see a shift as your grandmas and soccer moms who aren't at all informed just look for the deals rather than the superior product come out to shop.
