Therefore, Sony PS loyalists are advised to keep their eyes and ears open for new developments concerning PS4 Pro and PS4 Slim.

If price dominates your search for a console, the good news is there is a clear difference between the two.
While both consoles are better than their respective predecessors, their unveiling raises that age old question again: which is better, the Xbox One S or the PS4 Pro? The market has just a few key players from PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo.
But that was before the mid-generation shake-up systems came into play – the Xbox One S and PS4 Slim, which Sony announced would take over as Sony’s primary system.
For those of you who plan on upgrading to the PlayStation 4 Pro in November, the latest PS4 update now allows a LAN network so you don’t need to do the whole USB flash drive routine to transfer all of your apps and game saves to the new hardware. As if that’s not enough, the console will be compatible with Xbox one accessories and games, The Guardian Reported. Sony also just launched its streaming 4K movie service called Ultra five months ago, enabling customers to purchase and stream their favorite movies across the Internet.
Price: To be determined, but more than $300. Microsoft previously offered a 2TB “launch edition” of the Xbox One S for £349 but that has officially sold out and they will not be making more. In fact, you can get the console and the Halo Combat Evolved bundle for that price, which is incredible. There’s a simple reason for that: Game developers can use the PlayStation 4 Pro’s increased power for other stuff! Unfortunately, this means you would need to buy a second 2TB hard drive to swap that way from one you now have (PS4 is still the only one with the option to manually upgrade the hard drive). Below is our pick of the best deals so far. The Xbox project Scorpio will offer a 4K experience and a high-fidelity VR despite Microsoft’s inactivity in the field of VR.
In a recent interview with The Guardian, the head of Sony Interactive Entertainment, Andrew House, admitted that the company didn’t even consider the Xbox as a competitor when it was developing the upcoming PlayStation 4 Pro console.
Or maybe you could consider joining Microsoft’s family and wait with everyone else for Scorpio.
