PS4 Pro always looked like a very costed upgrade in the first place. They didn't go mad with an increased specification over the standard ps4, no UHD blu-ray or much extra in cpu power or memory. From what I've seen it was pretty much a design to get the max boost at the minimum cost and nothing more. This new revision likely takes that even further with a reduced manufacturing cost and possibly lower return rate and Microsoft will have to take huge losses on the 'X' to get close to the pro in price which they may be forced to do if Xbox sales continue to dwindle compared to ps4. I still reckon there is a good chance the original spec ps4 will be phased out in the next couple of years leaving only the pro model available. When the manufacturing cost gets very close between the 2 they may as well just drop the standard model.
