I think it makes sense. The "Pro" consoles are mainly for higher visuals and resolution than anything else. With games like FFXVI having a render resolution of as low as 720p and a lot of newer games not fairing much better than 1080p, I think a boost in GPU is the right call assuming the price remains reasonable. There's only so much advancements one can do with a limited price target. |
While I can understand for the CPU (a newer one should have saved some power at similar performance, which was more my thinking here), I feel like staying at 16GB RAM would be limiting both textures and resolutions by the time of it's release, not to speak about raytracing, for which it supposedly has own hardware to run.
As such, I fear it's newfound raytracing capabilities especially are choked out by the lack of RAM to run it properly, rendering it rather pointless. Going 20-24GB also would have widen the bandwidth, which only grows marginally compared to the base model and could also be some limiting factor at times.
