I'm playing Hogwarts Legacy tight now and while the game is great it's brought down by loading screens on PS4 pro. Like there's a good chance you can spend 4 out of 10 minutes of gameplay on loading screens if you're fast traveling around to get stuff done. I'm considering upgrading come Black Friday for the load speeds alone. What other features are good about the 9th gen? Cause from looking at it, it's certainly not the games and I hear often (at least for ps5) that PS4 versions run better. The boxes are also extremely large and power consuming and the hard drive space is a significant downgrade as well as the possibility of not having the possibility to buy a disk if I want. 

What's the sell here. Why am I needing an upgrade outside of the loading convenience? 

.

60fps on ps4 titles is massive upgrade, playing sekiro on ps4 pro and going to ps5 and damn does the pro feel janky. The astro bot game even though like 6-7 hours  to complete is great and the controller use really does make it feel like a nextgen console. ps5 is just also a much better console design wise its so quite, while pro is so loud, controller is much better after you get used to it.

Since you like challenging games, returnale is great. Really for someone who's gaming as much as you did, you really just wasted your time playing inferior versions with longer load times for no reason, since console hold their value and you could have just sold the pro, put 300$ and get ps5 with a bundled game, plus GTA6, spiderman 2, and BG3 are  probably worth it alone, but 60fps and better load times you should have sold your pro like i did right when you had the chance lol.

Now that's a sell. BG3 is the game I nearly upgraded to a Series S for and sure I'll have to get it for GTA6. Yeah, man. All those new QoL features would be a boon even while waiting for the true next gen games to arrive. The PRO is loud AF and overheats itself with newer games and I forgot all about the haptic triggers. I feel better about saving for this thing now, knowing my luck there'll be a pro announcement right after Black Friday though.
