I'm not so sure about that tbh...I even assume a lot of people haven't upgraded yet but will do this Christmas, especially those who've also recently bought or will buy a 4K TV. Especially for 340,- or less.
But you're right, as can be seen in the recent Digital Foundry comparison of Assasin's Creed Origins, the Pro can definitely hold its own.
Another draw back many people are forgetting is you essentially need a good internet contract and a big external HDD for the X1X since game sizes seem to be 100GB-150GB due to the improved textures.

I think you're right that there will be a fair number of people upgrading this year. 4k TVs are dirt cheap here in the US, so most people that care about that stuff will probably own one by the end of the year. Many of those new TV buyers will want a console that takes full advantage of that TV. The thing is, XBX is the only one with significant marketing targeting those people. The power advantage, and the "True 4k" PR speak will help as well.
If the PS4 Pro had a $50 price drop accompanied by a decent marketing campaign, it may be the console of choice for 2017 upgraders. But, absent that, I don't see how it outsells XBX in North America. Worldwide could be a different story. I don't know enough about 4k adoption rates or pricing to have a real option there.

It seems you didn't read my previous post. The Pro can be had for 340,- Euros here in Europe and as far as I know from friends it's available for 340 dollars in the US as well, or 389,- with 2 games. I don't know the retailer but a quick google search will help you. Pretty sure it's a similar situation all over the planet.
