Think about who it is that would buy a ps4 at this stage. Obviously, people who care about the price, otherwise they would've gotten one already. That is why i don't think its particular popular with new adopters. These are people who probably don't care very much about specs. The audience that cares about specs are the early adopters and hardcore gamers.

Hmmmmm... no.  Let me reiterate.  The original PS4 launched at $400 with a 500 GB HDD.  The PS4 Pro is priced at $400 with a 1 TB HDD and upgraded hardware.  Compare that with the Slim which retails for $300 which is pretty much like the original PS4.  The PS4 (all SKUs) are still selling pretty well three years into this generation.  By these fact, it is worth it.  Now, I'm not going to dictate anyone's buying habits because that's all over the map.  I'm not going to cherry-pick to justify myself.

People's buying habits are a corner stone of marketing. To sell something you have to know who you are selling it to. It is literally, the whole point of different SKU's.
