Console Specs Compared: Xbox One X, PS4 Pro, Switch, And More

@TJSpyke: Actually a lot of PS4 games run at 4K. I didn't think it would be able to, but a surprising number do. Presumably more will run at 4K on Scorpio though. And of course just because a game isn't running at 4K on Pro doesn't mean it isn't running higher than 2K, or otherwise taking advantage of the power.

EDIT: Also Scorpio games aren't required to support 4K either. Microsoft is also, wisely, leaving that up to developers.

@TJSpyke: When they say that a GPU "supports" 4K they don't mean that it actually renders anything 4K: they just mean that the GPU won't prevent a game from outputting at that resolution. So, for instance, the original PS4 totally had the power to run tetris in 4K. But you couldn't develop a 4K tetris game for it because it just wouldn't output at that resolution. (The makers of Trine actually complained about this. They said they could get their game to run at 4k/30FPS but Sony's hardware just didn't allow it).

So, while in almost every case, the PS4 Pro upscales to 4K, it nonetheless supports 4K because you could get it to output native 4K for an undemanding game.

@TJSpyke: What are you talking about dude? :)) PS4 Pro supports native 4k, there's even a list of current games that run native 4k on it.

@TJSpyke: any evidence? even if its true, then probably because they dont want to burden developer. Only scorpio you said? you think there is no ps5, no 4k PC?

@superklyph: Get a 4k bluray player and keep the gaming console for gaming. ;)

@superklyph: if you have a 4k tv upgrading the xbox one to the xbox one s is a no brainier it is the CHEAPEST native 4k bluray player on the market period and it is worth it especially to trade in i got an xbox one s for 110 from trading in the older model one and kinect for this newer one

@ohsonice1959: They probably kept the outside box due to the design of the VR more than the need. I could be totally wrong, it just seems like a design thing, not a power thing with the Pro.

@ohsonice1959: i thought it was the same processor

@esqueejy: That's obvious since the Pro doesn't actually support 4K. It only upscales to 4K. The Scorpio will support native 4K (it's like the difference between a Blu-ray Disc player upscaling a DVD to HD vs. playing a Blu-ray title).

@Ayato_Kamina_1: actually it was announced that's not correct. Only certain games will get PC support as it's up to the publisher

@redalert539: We pretty much know what Scorpio is-same deal as PS4 Pro except even more GPU than PS4 Pro has.

The base consoles are cool, PS4 Pro is a steal at just $100 more for 2x the GPU, and "Xbox One Pro" is better still, which is awesome.

@jerger_gs: I think NOV 10. I'm getting it, but I'm not expecting much. I'm just praying an increase in FPS...

@earz62801: You must realize that many people are psychotic and are willing to die for their favorite brand. It isn't a deficit of cash that keeps these fanboys spanking their monkeys...
