The editors didn't like
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

Best graphical performance in a console, Your existing games will get upgraded for free, Makes PS VR much smoother
