How is it a huge success story? Sony doesn't even talk about its sales individually any more. The X1X isn't selling great but appears to be outselling the PS4 Pro launch aligned in the US. If anything, I Think Sony learned that the market for the PS4 Pro isn't as big as they thought it might be. They certainly haven't gotten the third party support they hoped for., as the vast majority of developers are doing nothing more than the very bare minimum, so much so that Sony had to develop modes that allowed the PS4 Pro to automatically enhance games rather than leaving it up to the developers themselves. The vast majority of PS4 buyers today are still choosing regular PS4s, not the pros. But hey, at least it's selling slightly better than PSVR, right?
I think it was a PSP Go-like experiment that ended up with a very "meh" response. I wouldn't be surprised at all if we don't see this again next generation.
I own a PS4 Pro, by the way. they had an "Upgrade deal" at one of the local chains here that had me only spending $100 out of pocket to upgrade my launch PS4 to the Pro, when I was about to spend half that on a new hard drive anyways.
