For those wanting to purchase a new console, here is a visualization of what to expect power wise from each of the systems available this year, a handy graph comparing the different options from a purely graphical point of view. The teraflops listed for each is the best way to measure the power of each GPU and relates to what visual capabilities they will have. All systems support HDR with the exception of the original Xbox One.
(Xbox One: 1.31, Xbox One S: 1.40, PS4: 1.84, PS4 Pro: 4.20)
As a reference all systems can be had for $299.99 (USD), except the Playstation 4 Pro which will set you back $100 more. If 1 TB hard drive space is something you feel you need however, (as many do these days) PS4 pro will be only $50 more than the Xbox One S at similar HDD capacity, and yet, for gaming offers vastly more power. On the other hand if you are a videophile without a high speed internet connection and unlimited data, the Xbox One S has the advantage of being the only console coming with the new BluRay UHD drive.
Happy Shopping!

Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
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.
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.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
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.
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
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
I'd say you can't go wrong with the PS4 Pro at £350 unless you really want that UHD player.
Wow, what a pointless article. Here's a graph showing maximum GPU performance to base your decision off of.
While the PS4 Pro no doubt has way more in the GPU department, only select tiles will ever use the added horsepower. Unless a dev creates a special mode to enable on the Pro model, the game will look and play identical to the base PS4. It's like having a Ferrari but only being able to take it through school zones.
The games that enable the Pro features, absolutely will look and play much, much better.
But it's a pretty bad article when you are just throwing out numbers saying "Clearly based off this super detailed graph, the Pro is the best one".
"On the other hand if you are a videophile without a high speed internet connection and unlimited data..."
or if you prefer actual true 4K content not being streamed at a less than ideal bitrate which can only be found via a physical disc....
