Like I wrote in the other thread, I don't find the arguments in the video very compelling. Imo, Richard is focusing too much on the economic aspect, and overestimates the importance of keeping cost down. The whole scalper issue has shown that there are quite a few people who are willing to spend more money on consoles. And the PS5 Pro would actually offer an appropriate value for that price.
I also think the PS4 Pro and XOX were deliberately designed in a very conservative way, because it was completely unclear at that point if there is any demand at all and how the market would react. We now know that mid-gen consoles do work, and that there is a market for them. That's why I would not be surprised if we see powerful machines with higher prices. It also makes a lot of sense looking at Microsoft's line up for example, they already have a cheap and normal priced console, a more expensive mid-gen console would fit right in.
