Overshadowed by the Apple announcement today, Sony is releasing a new PS4 that no one will buy!
Sony has officially unveiled the next big iteration of the PlayStation 4. The console — codenamed Neo, which the company discussed in brief just ahead of E3 in June — upgrades the three-year-old PS4 hardware with a faster processor, better graphics, and support for 4K resolution. It launches November 10th, and it will cost $399. It’s intended to be sold alongside the base PS4 instead of replacing it, and new games will still be playable on the older hardware. The existence of Pro, formerly called Neo, was first reported on back in March.
The PS4 Pro can output 4K and HDR video, which is powered by an upgraded GPU. Sonly also boosted the clock rate for the new PS4 Pro. It will also come with a 1TB hard drive. "PS4 Pro is not intended to blur the line between console generations," Mark Cerny, the chief architect for the PS4, said on stage. "Instead, the vision is to take the PS4 experience to extraordinary new levels."

No thanks.
I can see myself needing a 2nd PS4 as my boys love to play, but they're way too young now. And if I really needed it, I'd probably buy them a 2nd hand regular PS4 for probably half the price, not $400.

New games still to be developed as normal for PS4 though right? I play probably 3-5 times a week but don't see the need to go out and get the new console

Correct and old games can be played on this one with an "enhanced experience".
I have a 4k TV and until they develop games in 4K, these are not worthy of an upgrade.

Other than helping my kids out with the couple of games they play, I haven't even played in probably 4+ months. Easily a record starting from when I was 6 years old and got a Nintendo.
