Any spec's released?
Also wonder if someone upgraded from the original PS4 and they sign in on a new Pro, how game transfer will work because as it is, it can sometimes claim your game is not legal and locks it. They would need to be more clear and concise about how it works between the same user and a new PS console

so compared to the Xbox one s whos made the bigger "upgrades" to the hardware from this it seams the PS4 pro may actually have a noticeable performance increase

This is getting as bad as the Nintendo DS and its hundreds of iterations.

 

[NeverBackDown]

There's only two different iterations?

 

[Wraith]

There's only two different iterations?

Always thought there were 4 DS variants.. DS, DS Lite, DSi & DSi XL, pretty much like the Gameboy.

 

[NeverBackDown]

Oh.. I was talking about the PS

 

[Greenback]

jut wait for the xbox one and ps4 super slim pro ti x versions b4 buying one

 

[MiNo]

Crap. Was hoping for a UHD BD player to be included

I mean, almost all the hardware is already there, only the laser itself needed a change.

I cannot imagine why Sony did not do this to boost sales of the Pro and perhaps also their 4K TV's

It could also jump-start 4K BD media sales, as I think streaming have made new disc players not-relevant for a lot of people.

If Sony thinks this makes people buy both a Pro and a 4K/UHD player ... well, then i think they are mistaken.

Well this has made me sure that I am just going to get the "Project Scorpio" that Microsoft is making as that will be a more powerful machine.

Considering it's only coming in at 4.19TFLOPS and the Scorpio is coming in at just over 6TFLOPS, Sony is going to have to have an immense lineup to compete against Microsoft as the 6TFLOPS is going to be a huge selling point, It's basically a whole PS4 faster than the "Pro".

..But the Scorpio isn't out for at least another year, which means Sony can hit them with Playstation 5 in 2018/2019.

Sony have won this generation hands down and are probably willing to let the 40m+ installed user base of the PS4 & PS4 Pro carry them over for a couple of years until Playstation 5, which will no doubt be far more powerful than the Scorpio.

Doubt a PS5 will come out for many many years. That will infuriate many. Plus they need to milk what they can from e Ps4 iterations first. Look how long the PS3 was around before the next gen came?
