The Xbox One X is a great value and expensive simultaneously

As the group of people willing to upgrade dries up, sales will go down. The ps4 slim will get an even more mass market friendly price, the ratio will likely stay the same. It won't be any different for XBox One S and X.

Except if the Pro is $299 (a very mass market price), especially if the Slim is still $199, there are going to be more people willing to upgrade.  Or upgrade if they are shopping for a 2nd PS4.  Or even new PS4 consumers.  Sure most will stick with the Slim, that will never change.  But, a $299 price for the best PS4, when someone has already decided to go PS4, is going to be very alluring.

So many IFs...

You are looking for a group of people that

1) own a PS4 and spent more than $249 for it (lowest price yet) 
2) weren't convinced to upgrade yet
3) want a 2nd PS4 more than a (first) Switch or (first) Xbox One (S/X)
4) Wait for a pricecut to happen

That might be a very small target audience, don't you think?

 

No doubt that a PS4 Pro price cut will increase their sales.
But that will come hand in hand with a price cut for the regular PS4 as well, so the ratio will stay the same or will be even smaller IMO. 

 

I think that current PS4 owners that don't own a Pro yet and want to upgrade to 4k  (because they bought a new TV and need content for it for example) are more likely to upgrade to Xbox One X than a PS4 Pro, because they will get a whole new library to play. And a 4k BluRay player. But again, that is a VERY small group of people.
