Just like the PS4 Pro, it doesn't need to exist, it's not going to sell well, and it's not going to make any significant impact in the video game industry.

Isnt the main selling point being able to play in 4K? I know 4K TVs are growing in popularity but i would have to assume that the current adoption rate is still pretty low and needs a few more years to mature. I just feel like by the time 4K TVs become the norm, it will be around the time PS5 & XB4 will be released making Pro/Scorpio sort of pointless.

Im gonna throw a theory out there and i could be off base but a little over a decade ago when PS3/360 released we saw alot of developers struggle with the transition to HD. Could these mid-gen upgrades be sort of a way to make the transition to 4K go a bit smoother for developers?

This. 11 million people in NA own 4k TVs and Sony expects 15% of Americanew homes to own a 4k TV by years end, and in 4 years that number is expected to be 50%.
