Was pretty much going to buy the pro day 1. But no 4k Blu-ray player? That's absolutely blows my mind on what a idiotic decision this is. So the Pro is a no go.
@_Matt_: I'm pretty sure the math is wrong there, It surely increases exponentially. A car moving at 10 mph and a car at 15 mph is mild difference, but I car at 40 mph and the next at 60mph is hugely different
Thats why percentages are pointless.
@Bread_or_Decide:
Yes, but it packs the same GPU+CPU+etc as it did in 2013. The Pro doesn't. Hence, the lack of a 4k Bluray player but a dedicated Netflix 4K app + Youtube 4K app.
4K Bluray players are still pretty expensive. What Sony could/should have done is add one to the Slim and kinda balance things out. That is indeed a missed oportunity IMO.
In any case: now we wait for Nintendo!
AKA they shit the bed.
What they did was go with the masses instead of trying to appeal to a very small minority and lose sales because of it.
It was a smart move despite what you feel personally about it.
They cheaped out. Go on the fb page for their announcement, there is huge backlash against there be no 4k blu ray player. The overall response to this announcement on pretty much every site is "wtf?".
So FB pages represents the majority of gamers now?
Talk about reaching and damage control. You guys are hilarious with the lengths you go to discredit Sony.
PS4 Pro is a solid product for a great price. Butthurt peeps out there should either stick with their OG PS4 or get a PS4 Slim for $299. No one is forcing you guys to buy a PS4 Pro. The PS4 Pro is for people that want an enhanced PS4 experience.

Seriously? Anecdotal evidence against a much larger user base? Come on...
What else do we have to go off of besides people's reactions as a whole?
They fucked up. I love sony, but I have no idea what they were thinking and I know why they didn't announce this shit at E3.
The worst thing about this presentation was that I was able to see through their Bs. Normal people shouldn't be able to do that which is a very bad sign.
I am OK with it as long as they provide 1080p 60 fps on ultra settings, not only 4k at 10 fps or any upscalling BS

Why not? Cows make bash threads about Amazon sales rankings. Why on earth would you let your major opponent's slim have 4K streaming, HDR AND a UHD blu ray player but not put it in your "pro" version?
Now, I don't believe this will stop gamers from buying this 4.2 TFLOP upgrade, but if it was MS that had done left out 4k blu ray AFTER PS put it in you guys would be all over them for it. Come on dude, don't lie. It's a pretty dick move by Sony.
I don't seem to be the market for this machine. I have absolutely 0 interest in picking up a Pro; like, not even considering the purchase.
Had half the conference in the background and seemed rather dull. Footage looked nice. Price point is good, especially for the Slim.
I browsed around a bunch of websites, from Facebook, Instagram, Neogaf to IGN, PlayStation websites, Engadget, Kotaku, almost every website you go to, people are really let down by Sony and their announcements and lack of info today in the comment sections. Sony dun goofed.
Microsoft done ****'d up once again. Sony has bluffed Microsoft in to going too big with hardware for VR, and UHD Blu Rays. Both aren't going to become mainstream or sell well. Sony knows their own version of VR is cheap and gimmicky, but they're not investing too much assets in to it to become a major problem when it implodes on itself.
Making the Pro cheaper and enhancing 1080p tvs while boosting performance was the way to go.
Watching post-show interviews with devs, one of the guy's mentioned that online multiplayer games on PS Pro would run at the same frame rate as og PS4, but that there would be improvements in single player for the Pro, he didn't elaborate beyond that.
Presumably because of cross play between players on PS4 and Pro they can't give anyone an advantage.

It would be stupid to give PS Pro players an advantage in multiplayer due to higher framerates. They need to keep everything on a level playing field online.

Yeah, that would be the same on the XB1S-Scorpio too. If they want the same games to be played on both machines (this case, PS4 and PS4 Pro) without full ports, then MP stuff needs to remain unchanged. Otherwised it's a massive mess.

No I wouldn't. A majority of gamers out there don't even have 4K or give a shit about 4K. Jacking up the price to add a feature that only a small fraction of your audience will use is pointless. I'm okay with that move if its responsible for the PS4 Pro's attractive price point. If MS does the same thing with the Scorpio I'll praise them for it. History has shown us that $500 end up dead in the water, these companies have to take certain measures to keep that price point at $400, and this is one of those measures.

I'd like to see your proof of the little assests sony are investing into VR. Link, please.
Way to go Sony!!! LMAO The DC in this thread is glorious.
If there have been no specs revealed for the PS4 Pro, then it would be unwise to automatically assume that it is less powerful than Scorpio as many in this thread are doing.
That said, I won't be upgrading any time soon. If my PS4 bricks, I'll upgrade. If it doesn't, then I'll wait for the next Playstation itteration after Pro.
The way some people in here are spitting their dummies out the pram you would think they're being FORCED to buy the Pro..... Oh wait.... They're not....
If you don't like it then don't buy it..... simple.... But I'm curious as to how many people here moaning about it's lack of certain features will buy one anyway despite the complaints, because in that case you become a hypocrite and should get punched in the face.

If it was more or equal to Scorpio(like MS and their sales numbers) they would have revealed the specs.

I am surprised no one is confused. When MS announced two systems that were 14 months apart there was this outcry of confusion but I don't see the confusion when Sony announce the release of two new systems that launches around the same time.
Don't forget Sony is also releasing yet another $400 hardware in between, the PSVR, and they still haven't really told if there are benefits of using it on one over the other.
@cainetao11: What I meant was Sony VR is only $400 and the others are much more expensive. By the looks and previews of their VR games, it's obvious they've not invested much in it (unlike the others). Probably because they know it's just a dumb gimmick.
I could be wrong, but I don't think I am.
@Desmonic:
Yup, the ps4 Pro is exactly as I thought it would be. Sooooo.....when will we be seeing a ps5? That's the real prize.

Also, HDR looks like it just crushes colors, don't like it at all.
You guys take this stuff way too seriously.
Bro this is a huge event. People line up and wait for days for star wars movies or new apple phones.
Why can't sony have supporters like us? Whats wrong with you dude? Be excited, be passionate sony is saving gaming. Microsoft and nintendo have been fumbling lately and valve hasn't put out a game in forever.
Sony just delivered uncharted 4 thats a staple, its a staple and its exclusive.
sony does not make games, they bribe people who make them to limit the game to one single platform
Don't forget Sony is also releasing yet another $400 hardware in between, the PSVR, and they still haven't really told if there are benefits of using it on one over the other.
Hmmm...what? They actually have. PSVR games will play better on the Pro. Either better graphics ( better textures, models, etc) and/or better framerate. Will vary from dev to dev and from game to game.
Did you even watch the conference bro? Feels like you didn't.

Oh I see, so I guess the people that said they don't need to upgrade will need to upgrade if they want the best PSVR experience.

That Jaguar CPU is disappointing! Besides at least a $399 Xbox One S still gives you a 4k Blu-ray player, 2 TB HDD, the best online experience over the pos4's online service, and the best available features with HDR and DX12
Mark Cerny, "through smoke and mirrors, I give you 4k gaming."
Will I buy, yes.
Well everything in real time graphics is smoke and mirrors, so I am not sure how that is bad. At the end of the day gamers with 4k TVs will get a 4K experience with the PS4 Pro.
