Did Sony make a mistake by be first to release an upgraded console.

[S.T.A.G.E.]

Sony didnt make a mistake. Microsoft has been haunted by the fact that Sony beat them in specs since the PS4 launch. If they cannot beat them with exclusives or beat them worldwide, thats how they think they should cover it. It wont help them win but it might capture the attention of some gamers in North America who can afford the premium hardware.
