If the PS4 Pro was made to stop people from buying a PC why...

Really got to disagree with this. It may be possible to upgrade, and maybe even easy for some people, but for the average person it`s far from easy. For me personally upgrading means buying a whole new PC, that isn`t easy!

 

Oh and I`m not really sure that what you said here really counters what Sony said. You`ve said why you think current PC gamers game on PC rather than elsewhere while if Sony said "stop people from switching to pc" that would suggest they weren`t targeting those people, but instead people that aren`t yet PC gamers but could become them (potentially for different reasons than existing PC gamers, otherwise they`d most likely already be PC gamers too).

How is buying a new PC not easy? People do it all the time with consoles.

Upgrading the PC means in 99% of cases upgrading the GPU. If you have a good case you don't even need a screwdriver for that. Slide off side door, pull out old GPU, put in new GPU. Not really a difference to changing a cartridge. Same goes for upgrading RAM.

If that is too hard for people for gaining flexibility they simply don't care about flexibility.

replacing/adding RAM and a GPU is comparable to replacing a harddrive on the ps4 in almost any situation, even for first-time pc constructors, when you buy a pc at almost any online store generally there is an option for lets say $50 the store will assemble the bought components into a pc for you, even then replacing the GPU and Ram, or adding, should be so simple anyone can do it.
