Day 1 purchase for me. Will trade in the regular PS5.
Only downside is the lack of optical drive... No increase in DRAM capacity (Same limitation of the PS4 Pro) and no real tangible improvements to the CPU, so Ray Tracing is going to be bottlenecked on those ancient Zen2 cores.
As for the comparisons to the Series X... Remember that the Series X is often the same price as the regular PS5 and has lost in every single region in terms of sales despite offering more performance. - Clearly hardware isn't important up to a point.
Secondly... The Series X has an optical drive.
Honestly this is going to be priced out of reach for most consumers, so I expect it's success to be marginal at best.
