Is Xbox always on your brain? What he obviously meant was base console vs premium console (PS4 vs PS4 Pro).

There arguably should be a base and premium console at launch that primarily just offers more GPU power. Why? Because resolution isn't crucial for most but some want a console that really takes full advantage of a 4K TV. A $399 console won't do that with 9th gen graphics given the X1X already struggles, but a $599 console should be able to handle 4K/60 fps in AAA games relatively often.

Even a $599 console will struggle with it (at least at a constant). 4K should be a breeze on its own, though. So, I agree, to a degree, with both of you. But then, I'm one of those who would buy a $600 console (again), so you're right. The market for it is there.

So long as there is a base option, all should be fine.

only problem on base console is that it holds the premium down, but it's a trade-off we need to accept.
