Nope, they shouldn't and likely won't. PS5 as is makes fine sales, no reason to get another system that would drag them full gen. Actually I would like they to cut crossgen faster than this gen (although I think it will be even longer). And if you consider the Series S a success than PS5 outsold it quite handsomely so even more success being single SKU and Series X sold lower than Series S so it would show selling Series X as poor decision? Regarding Pro versions they sold 20% or more of the total number of units after their release so that isn't that bad if the cost to develop the units and manufacture didn't made they lose money with that (the question is actually if they would sell similar total units without the pros or not and we can't be sure, probably would sell a little less but on number of actual users it would be quite close so no real benefit on releasing them).
