They didn't, that's the thing.

MS are lying again.......

"but sony did it first" is a excuse, and then it turns out they didnt,..... MS PR is just lying.

I would personally like if MS atleast tried to be honest, not project/make excuses, or make up lies about its competitors. Sadly that is not the image if I have when I think of MS PR.

This is the official Playstation blog. I know you said "no blogs". - But just like Major Nelson for Xbox, this is regarded as an official outlet for the brand.
https://blog.us.playstation.com/2016/11/03/39-games-enhanced-for-ps4-pro-launch/

Even the Playstation 4 website references the blog.
Then Media outlets like Kotaku and Polygon used that as cited sources for their articles.

It’s just their usual deceit and marketing lies and back paddling afterwards..that even the back paddling is a lie is surely another quality though.

Some people are amazingly touchy about PR statements. Personally, I can't even force myself to pretend to care about what BS spin companies are putting on this and that.

Tbh that kind of dishonest marketing is the main reason myself and many others refuse to support this shady company. They’ve perfected the task of fooling their fanbase and the uninformed. Nothing respectable about that.

yes indeed, Sony never said new games but said enhanced and optimized games for PS4 PRO.

I also did read an article some where that proves also that MS is wrong again. PS3 has the biggest ever launch with BC to PS1 and PS2 games library...
