PS4 seems like a great console (I dont ownone myself, looking to get one soon), and I'm sure that it derserves all the success it has gotten.  However, to me the pro variant was completely pointless. Sony was and still is comfortably ahead than its competitors, and its not like the pro caused a huge influx of sales. It doesnt cause harm, but it doesnt benefit them either. Its just..... there. 1 in 5 PS4's sold being a pro seems sorta dissapointing to me. The PS4 would have still kept the monumental momentum, with or without the pro.

If PS4Pro sells 20% of the total, that is quite the good influx of sales.

How do we know that these Pro customers werent just gonna buy a regular PS4, had the new option not been available? Many people are first time PS4 owners, and they just chose to buy the pro over the slim. Those sales would have gone to normal PS4, had the Pro not existed, leading to little to no difference in sales.

Yes you do have the hardcore fans who would upgrade to the pro from standard, but thats only like a relatively small fraction of people in the bigger picture.
