Not if they already have a PS5, though.

People buy new cars when they already have a car to use ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Of course they do, but let's unpack that.

When people buy a new car who already have one, they generally do it because either 1. they think it will bring some material benefit over their old car, or 2. they want a new car simply for vanity reasons.

Looking at the PS5 Pro, there will absolutely be people who think "I want to upgrade to the Pro just for bragging rights" but I'm pretty sure the majority of consumers wil simply think "This doesn't play any games my PS5 can't already" and pass on it.

So you agree that there are people out there with disposable income who will buy the pro for that 10 extra games. I think it'll be 1 in 4 PlayStation owners just like the PS4 Professional . I never said majority.
