Not for me.  I have surround sound and multiple consoles, giant entertainment centers.  Getting behind and unplugging equipment isn't a 2 minute job.

Oh and:

"I can only speak for myself personally:

ps4: $350

ps4 pro upgrade: $400

5 years of PSN: $300"

I clearly said I was speaking about myself, you know personally.  I made that clear upfront.

So you can't have the spot you want to put a console with a HDMI and power outlet available? I have this in all the TVs I want to play, maybe twice a year I need to get behind a TV to fuss around.

Ok, seems strange that you have put this much money to get PS4Pro (and kept og PS4) when you were complaining a lot on having to put 500 for a PS5 even more if you had to buy new controllers and HDD (since you can just reuse HDD, and you don't need to rush and buy a controller), someone so tight with his wallet doesn't make much sense to go and buy a Pro. But well you can sell both and pay dimes on PS5 that will be BC with PS4.

Assuming I have extra power outlet, sure.  But I think you are underestimating how many electronics and wires I have at the moment.  

I think I gave my original ps4 to my nephew.  Either way, you are confusing a few things.  I don't have a tight wallet.  The point is consoles are increasing in price via online subscriptions, HDD, new controllers every generation...  my point is I am starting to consider other alternatives such as building a PC.  There was a time when console gaming was much cheaper than alternative options, I don't view that is the case anymore.  Hence I am evaluating my options.  Being able to afford a ps5 isn't the question, the question is what I want to spend my money on.
