Whenever it will be released, I'm not buying at launch this time. I'll wait for the PS5 Pro right away. =P

That's the big problem with those upgrade consoles, a lesson Sega learned the hard way. After the 32X, players were wary about the Saturn being just another half step. However, when it became clear the Saturn was here to stay, it was already too late - Sony had gobbled up it's market share in the meantime.

For PS5/Xbox Next this means that the consoles will loose out some early customers because they are waiting for the upgraded version instead. This can lead to a slow start, and as a result, a slow transition from the 3rd party studios to the new consoles if the old ones are still selling somewhat decent
