Do You Really Need a PS4 Pro?

Yesterday saw Sony reveal a new more powerful PlayStation 4 named PS4 Pro. While it's certainly impressive tech, the question remains. Do we really need it?

I always need it XD

I preordered today. I'm always in. Shut up and take my money Amazon.

I'm skipping it. My PS4 is fine, and I don't see the upgrade as significance enough. Upscaled 4K and lack of UHD Blu-Ray drive is enough to send me to Scorpio. I can still play PS4 exclusives on my PS4. :D

S2: Thanks for believing in me and supporting me!

You just want it. Not need it.

ok with PS4 Pro obviously Sony targeted those who dont already have a Playstation and for the newcomers PS4 Pro is the best console choice out there by far ..though i admit that for the already owners of a PS4, PS4pro is not a big deal and thats a GOOD thing imo...as it is not a new generation of consoles and you can be rest assured that PS4 will get support for many years

Kingthrash3603548d ago (Edited 3548d ago )

Well I own a ps4 and want this...could be gamer sicknes..I see your point and it's right...but I have a 4k tv that Is NOT HDR SUPPORTED so I'm looking into a tv now...but that said I do agree. Happy the ps4 will still be fully supported! 3-4 years is just too short of a time for a new console imo.

SmielmaN3548d ago

I disagree in that I'm a day one PS4 guy and I was looking at a replacement soon anyways. I'm in on VR just for Batman. Some ppl just like their shiny new toy.

Im always excited to see new/better graphics and I'm not involved in PC gaming at all so the upgrade is noticeable for me.

I'm a current owner, looking to replace my PS4 anyways, now I get an upgrade to the latest and greatest. Sign me up, preorder made.

donthate3548d ago (Edited 3548d ago )

I think if you never owned a PS4, then yes a PS4 Pro is a great entry especially for the price of $399. That is if you are only interested in games. Then again if you were, you probably should have bought a console by now.

Mrveryodd3548d ago

well i dont have a PS4 so i am a YES ...... i will need it for PSVR

uth113548d ago

No, too little upgrade for a full price console

S2Killinit3548d ago

Its a bigger upgrade over the PS4, than the scorpio will be over the Pro when it comes out. Are you saying scorpio would also be too little an upgrade?

uth113548d ago

I'm not buying a Scorpio either. I can run its games on my PC

Sparta073548d ago

Lol so playing a game @ 4K native or 1080p 60 fps is too little of an upgrade? Twice as powerful as the regular ps4, is too little of an upgrade!?!!

nitus103548d ago

In a multiplay FPS, who do you think will hold the advantage the person with a PS4 and HDTV or the person with the PS4 Pro and UHDTV assuming they both have a reliable fast internet connection?

Answer: The person who is the more skilled.

The above will be the same even if you compare the XB1 against the Scorpio. Graphics and effects are a totally different thing and are better suited to single player games where you can take the time to enjoy the scenery or lack of it.

joethetimelord3548d ago

While the GPU got an upgrade, the CPU is exactly the same. That smells like a bottleneck waiting to happen.

uth113548d ago

Most games won't be 4K native. Twice the power simply isn't enough to make that happen. And there's no guarantee that every game will be updated to 1080p 60fps.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio28d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing28d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9228d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit28d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing28d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9228d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
