PlayStation 4 Pro made its big debut yesterday, and Sony is selling it as a 4K gaming box. But most of the games the company showed were not rendering a native 4K image. Instead, you were probably seeing something closer to 1440p or 1800p. That's quite a lot less detail than 2160p -- although, for the Sony's new supersystem, it doesn't matter.
In a recent interview with GamesIndustry.biz , Sony's Jim Ryan talked a bit about the PS4 Pro and how they had underestimated its demand.
According to Pachter, the PS4 Pro sales aren't doing very good. Maybe drop the price $50 and bundle in a game since Xbox One X is coming?
Agreed. If 1 in 4 PS4's being sold is a Pro anything Pachter says about PS4 Pro sales numbers should be completely ignored.
You can buy a PS4 Pro, with Horizon and Wipeout for £350 in the UK at the minute. Basically, you're getting the console for £280... I'd say that's a bargain. Why do people keep asking for another £50/$50 off when plenty of places do bundle deals with great prices?
No they won't. Most parents will probably go for the cheaper option for Christmas presents. Most gamers that were waiting for a price for XoX, unless they're die hard Microsoft fans or spec junkies, will see that Sony have a cheaper option with huge exclusives coming in the new year, along with third party titles that will probably look little different to their XoX counterparts.
It's amazing how biased opinions seem to speak for the entire gaming population, instead of looking at people as beings that can, and will, use logic.
Most parents will go for the basic version of Ps4 or Xbox1 instead of a pro or X1X.
Most parents will ask if it's play COD, FIFA or GTA since theses are the biggest sellers on both platforms.
Most parents don't have freaking clues about the exclusives coming on Xbox or PS4 just like you probably don't have a clue about exclusive deals coming on Apple music.
It's amazing how N4G hardcore gamers seem to speak for the entire gaming population, instead of looking at people as beings that can, and will, follow the herd of COD/ GTA/ FiFA.

If you read my post properly, you'll see that I said parents will go for the cheaper console. I never even mentioned whether that's the upgraded models or not.
As for the games, it was in regard to gamers wanting a console, not the parents. Totally different sentence and subject.
It's amazing how people would actually look less like idiots if they actually read an entire post, before jumping on someone's comments.
If Sony drops the price of the Pro and it's $150 cheaper than the $500, checkerboarding beast, the only thing Sony will have a hard time doing is shipping Pro's to retailers.
They don't need to drop the price. You can buy a Pro with one or two games in a package for £100 cheaper than an XoX with nothing on it's release.
I love ps4 but if the x gives all the multiplat games at least 1080/60 and update past multiplat games then id go for the x.but id get a switch before ither😂
Spider-man’s show-stopping gameplay reveal stood out like a New York City skyscraper on the skyline of Sony’s unusually flat E3 press conference.

We’re talking Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo, as well as the developer conferences of EA, Ubisoft and Bethesda. Tons of games, a handful of surprises and some serious questions about what kinds of drugs people are taking these days."
It is not native 4k but the techniques used in the Pro make it look like 4K or upscale res.. It Sounds alright. As long as the image is not stretched or blurry, It'll be fine
We know.
Did anyone expect it to be at that price?
Nor is the XB1 S, and that's fine as long as both systems look a lot better than the PS4 and XB1 do on a 4k HDR TV.
Cuz right now they look kinda crappy compared to my Plasma R.I.P. Looking at the PS conference in 4k HDR (youtube PS4 player) on my 4k HDR TV looked pretty awesome and was showing the punch I feel my TV has been missing over my Plasma. I'm sure there was compression on the Youtube 4K video I watched. But it did look much better than on my graphic work station at work, so perhaps that's a good sign. I'll just have to get into Best Buy and have them setup PS4 Pro on the same TV I purchased. I would not care at all about the PS4 Pro if I still had my Plasma, that looked so sweet.
