they were also a much larger jump for their time over the Previous gen. PS3 lasted so long because they made it a complete beast out of the gate, they paid for it early with slow adoption early one, but reaped the rewards long term by the sheer longevity it gave them. PS4 Pro is Sony's attempt to extend the PS4 to 7 - 8 years, had they not released the pro PS5 could have been a 2019 launch, with pro it gets them to 2020-21.

 I hope the rumors are true that Sony will launch PS5 and PS5 Pro alongside one another. 

that would make sense. Graphics whores like myself would willingly pay the premium for better performance, but those who don't care or are more strapped for cash will still have access to the newest games. The main negative to this is phycological. Some people may not be able to afford the premium product, but can not bring themselves to intention buy what they know is an inferior product that still cost them hundreds of dollars and then end up passing or waiting years for price drops.
