Sadly, India isn’t yet included in that list. However, there are a lot of caveats, particularly with the PS4 Pro. During this period 65 percent of all PlayStation 4 sales came from PlayStation 4 Pro, PlayStation 4 sales also saw a rise of 8.5 percent week-over-week. It boasts of faster graphics and a 1TB hard drive. This was partly due to Microsoft cutting prices of original Xbox One consoles. Overall, the consoles did deliver on the latter, but hardware limitations restricted resolutions to the 720p to 900p range. The PS4 Pro is still churning away at a higher resolution and then uses downsampling to get to 1080p. Compare that number to the 4.2 teraflops computing power of the PS4 Pro. The Sony 4K Smart TV will cost $900 if sold separately.

The £350 device is still a PS4 and is compatible with all PS4 games, but it packs more power than the existing console, leading to performance improvements with games created to or patched to take advantage. There’s no option to forgo the anti-aliasing enhancements in favor of a frame rate that is at least as stable as on PS4. The PS4 Pro also brought back the optical S/PDIF port which was missing from the PS4 Slim version. I had a chance to try the PSVR on a PS4 myself, but the visuals were disappointing and it wasn’t a fun experience.

Users can check whether the HDMI port is correctly supporting 4K input or not.
