PlayStation 4 Pro delivers the 4K content — but 1080p-TV owners shouldn’t upgrade yet

If you are reserving judgment of the PlayStation 4 Pro console from Sony until you get to try it, I have to warn you: I’ve played the system a lot over the past week, and I still don’t really know what the hell to think of this thing.

For a large slice of the year, gaming fans have heard rumors that Sony was planning to drop the PlayStation 4.5 or the PlayStation 4K, an updated version of the popular PS4 console with more horsepower. Finally, that device is about to turn into something you can buy and have in your house when it ships November 10 for $400. This new system is still a PS4, but now it supports a 4K video signal for both games and media. Some existing games will get “enhanced” patches, but going forward, every new release will have to support both the Pro and standard PS4s. The Pro support will primarily manifest as higher resolutions, steadier framerates, and improved graphical effects.
