@LtSarge PS5 represents a similar generational leap as a Series X so you know pretty much what to expect from the hardware and of course, will get games that the 'older' gen won't — something that will certainly increase as more move to PS5 making it less financially feasible to 'port' games down to the 'diminishing' player base. Not enough players to 'buy' to justify the costs of porting down and optimising for.

If you want to play Spider-Man 2, Wolverine and whatever else Sony has planned in the future, as well as games like Demon Souls, Returnal or R&C, you'll need at least a PS5. That's not including all the 3rd Party Deals that will give Playstation exclusive content too — and some that will not be on Xbox/Game Pass ever because Sony paid to keep it off there, some content may have to wait a year or two before its on Xbox. So if you just stick with a Series X and PS4/Pro, you'll miss out on some content.

I don't know how true the Rumours of a PS5 Pro are or even whether it will 'come' to market. The PS4 is not 'dropping' in price — it actually went up. If its already around $500 for a PS5, how much would a PS5 Pro cost? Assuming they do something to add a 'noticeable' difference to justify buying, I can't see it being around the $500 mark — more like $700+. The PS5 already offers 4k and would need a boost to CPU to improve Frame Rates/RT etc as well as GPU boosts, maybe more built-in Storage (2TB?) so what Price without losing too much money per Unit sold would it be? Shipping/distribution and Raw Material costs aren't reducing either so I think it will be 'expensive' and perhaps too expensive for a Console. But then Sony don't really support the PC whereas with MS, if you want 'better' than a Series X, you can
