Sony - There will be PS5 - View Post

I'll tell you what DID happen. The whole Pro model, mid gen thing? It's going to hurt the PS5 big time when it launches because lots of people are going to hold off for the PS5 Pro model. So unless Sony comes out and says "there will be no PS5 Pro", they're kind of screwed. Hopefully they do that.

Highly doubtful.  A lot of the people who jumped onto the Pro are upgraders.  That type always wants the best of a certain product, as long as its price isn't nuts.  Those same people are going to want to upgrade to the PS5, as well.  And gamers, in general, always get excited by new HW.

The mid-gen upgrades sure haven't hurt Nintendo.  Sure, theirs isn't quite a leap, but they have done it with every single handheld they have come out with.  GBC.  GBA SP.  DSi.  New 3DS.  Hell, those have even more reason to wait for, as they have a couple of exclusives for them the base HW can't play, where the Pro just plays the same games.
