User name checks out.It's a soft console launch, because of the same underlying architecture, backwards compability is super easy so they didn't push for a new library which would be required for a new launch. They also didn't change the controllers and accessories all things required for a new console. This is a new console it's different enough to be but now with the lack of super-specialized hardware means microsoft can try to push new hardware and eventually new hardware without causing a huge uproar over people saying it's too soon because it's only been 4 years. I think it's actually a failure by microsoft, a new name and pushing it like a brand new console would have been better imo. The only thing holding it back would have been trying to build launch titles, but you could emphasis the backwards compatibility and assure the press that you aren't going to require develops to drop the old system.
PSPro is less of a new console it's more appropriate of a "refresh" approach
