Should see some impact but probably not a big effect to be seen in the normal weekly sales.

Why the pro?

Most probably more profitable. Apart from the casing, the only thing that really changes is the CPU/GPU SoC, and since that one is in 14nm about the same size as the PS4 chip at 28nm, the price is actually very similar despite being twice as powerful
