Will "next generation" have a mid-upgrade like PRO and X?

Considering even mid next gen, probably half of gamers will still be on 1080p TVs and next gen consoles will do native 4K easily, I strongly doubt it.

8k tv's are already starting to release though, and they are already priced lower than 4K tv's were when they first released ($15k vs $40k), so they will reach mainstream prices (less than $1000) by 2023 I'd say, which should be about 3 years into next-gen, the earliest we might see mid-gen refreshes release. While the mid-gen refreshes certainly won't be powerful enough to handle native 8k, we could see them running games at say 6k with checkerboarding potentially. 

Also, I feel like we are already at around 30% of gamers with 4K tv's now, by 2023 that should be more like 70 or 80%, not 50%.

30% at 4K? You’re delusional. I doubt that’s the case in the US even, let alone worldwide.

The step to 8K is majorly unnecessary for gaming. The benefits above 4K will be minimal at normal TV sizes and the extra rendering power needed would be just a waste.
