I'm sure the Pro sold fine given PS4 is a top selling console already. But I don't see much hype or fanfare over it, I genuinely feel Sony was too concerned about sticking to $399 that they made an underwhelming premium console and its an edge they didn't need to give MS.

If Sony makes a base for $399 and a premium for $599, I don't think the mid gen upgrade would be as necessary. The 8th gen upgrades are primarily GPU upgrades, they can have double or triple the GPU power at launch as well. After a few years people could upgrade to the premium for about $399.

Significant CPU and RAM upgrades should be equal on the base and premium in my opinion. I mean a CPU capable of 60 fps gaming isn't expensive and 16GB of RAM dedicated to games should be more than enough. The X1X is already giving 9GB of RAM for games so its not a big upgrade per se.

As opposed to the hype and fanfare of the xbox x? Well thats just from a vocal minority hence why the ps4 Pro outsells it big time. 

Do we actually have figures of how well the PS4 Pro is selling versus X1X? I'm not saying you're lying I just don't see numbers around.

And again, the PS4 Pro should be selling better given its the more popular platform. I would imagine many PS4 Pro's sold are people upgrading. But again, I feel the PS4 Pro was half baked simply because Sony wanted to hit $399, its not a big enough upgrade. Some of the Pro games just hit 1080p, that's not impressive.
