Is The Last Guardian a Trojan Horse for PS4 Pro Purchase?

Exactly. I'm not expecting it to happen overnight, but there will be pressure to focus on Pro versions more as Pro numbers keep growing, and if Pro ever becomes the main SKU, it could start looking pretty bad for the regular PS4. Perhaps nothing of this is ever going to happen, but it still worries me, and I don't like it in console gaming.

Ever think that the time Sony will phase out PS4 og-spec Slim completely will be when PS5 drops?
Or that had they not done a mid-gen Pro, they would have accelerated the introduction of PS5?
So when PS5 drops, I expect initial cross-gen games to possibly exclude og-spec PS4.
But in the absense of Pro, those games wouldn't ever have come to PS4 og-spec,
because PS5 would have intro'd earlier and cross-gen development would have ceased earlier.
The Pro in fact extends the viable length of PS4 platform for og-spec as well,
AND facilitates a later entry / higher spec for the subsequent PS5.

I think my last sentence pretty much covers what you just said. And a friendly tip regarding readability: don't try to line your text manually. It ends up being harder to read in almost all cases.
