The PS5 is definitely not dead, it's their main console. The Pro is a niche machine targeted at wealthy enthusiasts. It will only do a fraction of the regular PS5 sales numbers.

I think GP means dead as in there'll be no more design efforts targeted at it.

Right. It will live on. I love it, plan to buy a Pro.

But for their hardware engineers they’re likely done and moved on.

It will be like the PS4 Pro, something to capitalise on hardcore customers and that is it.

However, most games nowadays can't even take full advantage of PS 5 and XBox Series X, so it is quite questionable what they will do with next generation.

Switch might be oldie hardware, however it clearly shows how well a console can sell when more attention is given to gameplay than polygons per second.
