The latest reports are that Sony is getting ready to launch a pro version of the PS5 in the coming year or so. With the PS4 Pro i felt like the extra power made sense; The 4 was a relatively underpowered console when it launched, and the extra juice made sense for players who wanted more bang for their buck.

A potential PS5 Pro doesn't seem to have the same 'value-add'. For many the console has only just become readily available, and with the long-tail the PS4 has had, some would argue we've still not seen the best of what the base model can do.

Thoughts? Are sony overestimating the market for a PS5 2.0? Am I wrong for thinking this is a simple cash-grab? Would you buy an upgraded PS5?

Yeah, the ps5 does a pretty good job mimicking 4k performance for a system with limited power, but there's still lots of room for better hardware.
