If I ever find myself in a conversation with a Sony engineer
The first thing I'm going to ask about is the PS4 Pro's lack of a 4K UHD Blu-ray player. I've tried to avoid the direct comparison to the Xbox One S throughout the review
But it completely bog
Sound could be more dynamic
No 4K Blu-ray player
Streaming services need HDR updates
Most games will not achieve full native 4K rendering
No 4K Bluray player
Lacklustre design
Variable support from current titles
No 4K Blu
Ray player
Pro Mode support isn't universal
A beast in looks and size
No 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray playback
Only a 1TB HDD which will fill rapidly
Out of the gate
Only a handful of titles offer dramatic improvements. In reality
Most games that support Pro enhancements don't offer a drastic difference in quality when comparing standard and Pro games side-by-side. Specific information on game improv

For first time console-buyers or gamers wanting to upgrade from the PS4, the PS4 Pro is a solid choice.Games have potentially more detail, making good use of the 4K and HDR updates. Menus remain smooth to navigate, and the picture when watching video is c...
Both the new PS4 and the PS4 Pro offer visual advantages over the angular launch PS4, although that's where the similarities end. Sony's PS4 Pro looks to offer an enhanced gaming experience with higher framerates, increased resolution and higher quality t...
For now, picking up the PS4 Pro looks like a pretty safe bet. It will most likely be cheaper than Microsoft's alternative, especially if you're hoping to take up VR as well. It may lag slightly in performance and power, but probably not enough for the ave...
