At PlayStation Meeting 2017, Sony has officially announced PlayStation 4 PRO (PS4 Pro). It should be noted that all existing games released for PlayStation 4 to date will run on this new PS4 Pro, a hardware upgrade created to exist alongside the standard version. The PS4 Slim has also been confirmed, following weeks of leaked information as units somehow found their way into the wold.

This new PlayStation is created to complement and sit along side the standard PlayStation 4 console, but will allow a much better gaming experience for hardcore gamers or those who have upgraded to 4K technology.
“With PlayStation 4 we’re pretty much maxing out what 1080p TVs can do with games”, House said.
The PS4 Pro is looking very promising and if you’re a fan of outstanding visuals and gameplay, then the PS4 Pro is definitely for you.
The console is considerably smaller than the original PlayStation 4, but boasts the same parallelogram design. In addition, PS4 Pro supports 4K video playback to deliver 4K streaming video services such as Netflix and YouTube. The company no longer releases XBox sales data, but the PS4 is known to be a better seller than the XBox One.
The PlayStation 4 Pro is noticeably larger than its Slim brother.
During the presentation, they showed just how powerful the new PS4 Pro will be by playing some footage of some upcoming games, such as Insomniac Games’ new Spider-Man game. However, as more and more people adopt higher resolution displays, the desire for higher quality gaming will only become greater. Not every game already out on PS4 can take advantage of the new tech, but many will be updated.
The Pro will also allow games to pack more onscreen, from hordes of enemies to more flora and fauna in the environment. It also has a 1TB hard drive, double the capacity of the existing version, and a faster processor. Releasing the Pro before the new Xbox gives Sony an edge over its rival for the holiday season.
