It’s been quite a long time coming, but today, Sony finally unveiled neon future, (pun totally intended) , for it’s PlayStation 4 console. As highly rumored earlier throughout the year, Sony has been working on a more high-end PlayStation 4 model, capable of 4K functions, HDR gaming, a more powerful CPU and more. Today we were finally shown this piece of beauty, which is now officially known as the PlayStation 4 Pro.
The PlayStation 4 Pro is basically the PlayStation 4’s big brother. It takes all you know and love about the original PS4, but matures each and every part, a whole lot more. The system sports a 1TB HDD, an updated GPU which is running on AMD’s Polaris graphical architecture, an 8-core Jaguar AMD CPU, and 8GB of GDDR5 memory. Wow, totally packs a punch!
The PlayStation 4 Pro is ultimately, the end game for Sony’s PlayStation 4 run. It’s quite likely that we may see a slimmed down version, perhaps with minor upgrades, in the years to come, but as of now, this is looking to be last of Sony’s console releases, for quite sometime.
Sony has also officially announced the release date for the console, which is currently slated to arrive on November 10th, 2016, at a price of $399. A lot cheaper than many were previously predicting.
Sony is the first company of the “big three” to officially unveil their monster of a console. With the Xbox Scorpio currently scheduled to release during Holiday 2017, and an official reveal yet to be seen, Microsoft still has some time to perhaps improve upon their upcoming console to gain a bit of an edge over Sony. Nintendo and their NX console on the other hand is in a similar situation, however, the console is likely close to finishing up, with a release date currently slated for sometime during March of 2017.
