PS4 Pro sales “are stronger than that of PS4 Slim,” says Sony CFO
“PS4 Pro is running as we had expected, as we assumed, but Pro maybe is doing more than we anticipated,” Yoshida told investors (via DualShockers).
Part of the reason why PS4 Pro sales have been good is that players are getting the console alongside PlayStation VR. PS4 Pro offers an advantage when running VR games across the board thanks to its increase in power, so it’s not hard to see why.
PlayStation VR itself is selling “in-line with expectations,” according to Yoshida, but no hard data was provided.
Finally, the CFO made a quote on the call that’s a bit hard to interpret. He said, “The sales of Pro are stronger than that of Slim, as we see it.”
What he meant by this is unclear here. Some took the more obvious meaning, suggesting that the more expensive PS4 Pro has sold more units than the cheaper PS4 Slim, which would be a little out of the ordinary.
What Yoshida likely meant to say was that when compared with the company’s forecasts, PS4 Pro comes out on top, beating Sony’s expectations, something PS4 Slim presumably hasn’t been able to do – not the overall sales of the Slim.
The call was translated live, which probably meant something was lost in translation.

That's to be expected considering the Slim has less features than the original PS4, people know the Slim isn't as good as it should have been.

If I'm honest I don't see the big appeal over the PS4 Pro. It's not as good as it was made out to be

GangaFriskyPanda The PS4 pro is just a sad excuse. Like seriously.
Not really... actually a pretty good console, best out right now not including the upcoming Scorpio.
Not trying to hate on the PS4 Pro or anything but wasn't the Pro performing worse than the regular PS4, and sometimes worse than the Xbox One S? From what I have seen and heard it didn't look too much of a good console, but I haven't kept up to date with it so I'm not sure if those problems were fixed or not.
