You do know that if the PS5 Pro had failed catastrophically it wouldn't have changed anything? There's no point trying to convince PS owners/fans their Pro version of their hardware is a scam because the failure of the Pro model would've been inconsequential. It's not like there's a close battle between Xbox and PlayStation anymore and the standard PS5 is still way more powerful than Switch 2 so what could you achieve by convincing others it's a scam? It just fails while the standard PS5 carries on dominating. 

PS6 will likely be a scam too if they keep leaning this direction so perhaps swaying people from it and hopefully we get an all weather machine designed for games Simulation, particle effects and what not instead of pushing studios to the brink of collapse chasing fidelity. 

The games business is competitive industry and studios will always spend more to have a better game that allows them to compete with the other games. It has always been this way and I really have no clue why you think Sony's PS5 Pro is responsible for this effect. If you want to convince others the PS6 is a scam too, that also doesn't matter because it's not like Xbox will be a real competitor anymore and I doubt the Switch 2 is going to stomp PS6 into failure. If you successfully convince someone the PS6 is a scam, what would they buy as an alternative?
