gameplaywise if you go from 1080p@30fps => 4k@60fps its a new game/experience
not even taking about loadtimes take dragon age inquistion for example, thats a game i enjoy but never bothered pick up again because of the horrendous loadtimes on a ps4 or the witcher 3 etc etc

I've played games in 480p and 1080p and would not consider them new game/experiences. Also have gone from 30 to 60 and not considered them new experiences. 99% positive I wouldn't play Spider-man on PS5 and wonder if I'd played it already or if were a sequel. I think your definition of new game/experience is a bit loose.

If they were that interested in cutting edge graphics, they'd probably be PC gamers. Pretty sure the PS4 Pro was by far the less popular PS4 model, so it doesn't seem that they're greatly interested in the best shiniest graphics. Although the PS5 numbers aren't that big, so maybe the PS5 fans are from among that group so far. 

Like I said before, this is something new for console gamers. People who bought the PS4/X1 in the first 5 months of their life didn't have any other choice but to play the few games available to them. People buying PS5/XSX now can keep cleaning up their backlog with no rush, with the added incentive that those games now run better than ever.

But, I don't think it really is new. The PS4Pro and XBox One were things that existed. And besides that, I think console owners were aware that PCs were a thing that exists and can do that. If that was really important to them, I imagine they'd be playing on PC.

So again, I just have a hard time envisioning that many people who are paying 500 dollars to replay their old games in upgraded form. I'd assume they're buying something that's specifically on the PS5.
