Sounds about right. PS4 launched in 2013 and the Pro version came out in 2016 or 2017. So it's about time for a PS5 Pro. PS5 turns 4 years old this coming Fall.

But when PS4 Pro hit, base model PS4 was $200. Is regular PS5 gonna get a decent price drop too?

Nope because margins are too thin on the hardware. They expected the bottom to fall out on parts but with production demand so high for the AI market fab time costs are keeping all of the other costs high.

I agree with this. The best you will be able to hope for will be same price, but with fewer options. They are already pulling the optical drive as a cost savings measure. Another I expect is to continue with an anemic SSD size and expect you to pony up for more storage aftermarket.
