PlayStation 4 Pro was unveiled for the first time last week during Sony's PlayStation Meeting in New York, and since then many analysts begun to question the meaning of this move made by Sony. Among these, of course, was the opinion of the famous analyst Michael Pachter, who, in an interview, praised Sony for this choice, saying that this certainly put Microsoft in difficulties with the Xbox One S and Project Scorpio, especially if they won't launch the latter at a reasonable price.
This is what Pachter said:
"I think that the $399 price point is a pretty big move by Sony, particularly with a launch this fall. It's hard to justify buying a $299 Xbox One S when you get twice the HDD and future proof for 4K by buying the PS4 Pro. I really think this puts Microsoft in a hole with Scorpio, as they will arrive a year late, and will have to charge competitively even to remain in the picture. Ideally, Microsoft can launch Scorpio for $299, but I don't expect that to happen. If PS4 Pro is $349 by next holiday, Microsoft is really in a tough spot"
