Not enough for next gen. Every PlayStation console has had ~10 - 12x increase in CPU/GPU power and a 16x increase in RAM. What you are describing sounds like a PS4.5, as the Pro is basically a PS4.1. 

As for the OP. We are starting to reach the point when PC gaming looks interesting to me during the console cycle. I know the idea behind the Pro and the X is to stop people from going PC, but they need to offer something more high end IMO. I would love a $999.99 XBO or PS4 that can stand toe to toe with a 1800X + RX 64 PC.

I will be buying the XOX this holiday. If Sony can not deliver something next year (PS4 Premium or PS5), then I will seriously have to consider a new PC.

I don't get that logic. There is no chance for a PS5 before 2019 earliest. Why don't you just skip the XOX and just go for a PC to complement a PS4Pro..?! by far the best option. Best of both worlds imho.

I just prefer the consoles. If I can avoid PCs and Smartphones and put my money behind the products I actually enjoy, then I feel much better about spending my money. That is why I am all about the Pro and the X. Like I said, let me spend a thousand plus on a devices in the PlayStation or Xbox Ecosystem, and I will choose that every day over a PC.

There just comes a point in the console life cycle where the rest of my tech (Displays, Recievers, Speakers, ect.) get so far ahead of the consoles that I get hungry for the latest CPU/GPU tech, and even though I really have no interest in PC, I want to get the most out of those other toys.

Right now we are boarderline at that point for me. Threadripper and Vega have me so tempted to build a new PC. Like I said, if Sony can't deliver next year, and my financs are in order I will probably break down and build a PC. If it is anything like the last two I built, it will be a terrible investment, because it won't get touched again once a new console arrives, but for that 12 - 24 months, it will give me peice of mind.
