I know they cheat their way through abusing terms and doing stuff like checkerboard 4K and frame generation and what not.

The point is that speaking to the casual masses it will still be a tremendous visual upgrade up from what the original PS5 is capable of. Or at least I assume so, because again, otherwise there would be very little reason to even upgrade. Visually games like God of War Ragnarok and Horizon Forbidden West are fine on the PS5, even on performance modes (which does run at 60 FPS, frame gen or not). And frankly to me it competes on the same level as visually high-end games on PC (I have a PS5 and a high-end PC). We'll see if the quality difference will be worth it on the Pro, I frankly doubt it but maybe for more casual players that don't have a high-end PC to compare to it will.
