I have the Pro preordered but if I told you truthfully why it's because I've recently gotten a big pay rise and literally did it on impulse whilst walking through the mall on pay day.
I can't tell you what I expect to gain from the Pro as a 1080p TV owner, which the vast majority of PS4 owners are and probably the majority of Pro owners will be, because I really don't know.
I know what it can do, I know that a 4+ teraflop console could produce significant IQ improvements and performance boosts in all games over the base PS4, I know that for the price of the Pro the IQ and performance boosts that are possible are easily worth it...
But whether I am actually going to get those boosts I have no idea. I don't know which games are going to give me what bar Tomb Raider, a game I have no interest in.
If I was a 4K TV owner then the answer to these questions would be fairly straight forward: in most games going forward and some going back, I'll have a much more appropriate output for my TV.
So do Sony care about 1080p Pro users? If they don't, they need to say this is not for you and you should not have any expectations. If they do, as they should considering the market and my genuine prediction that >50% of people buying a Pro will not have 4K TVs, then they need to get serious and give us some bloody details. You sold it to me already because I'm an idiot, sell it to everyone else, make us NEED a PS4 Pro regardless of what TV we own because with the hardware in that box you CAN do that.
There should be no doubt in anyone's mind that doubling the power of a god damn console will give them significantly better graphical experiences. The fact it is even a question for 1080p users is imo failure I am actually impressed Sony have even managed to make, I didn't think it would be possible.
