A Pumped-Up GPU
The whole idea that the PS4 Pro is just a small step up from the PS4 is blown away when you look at what’s under the hood. And the PS4 Pro’s GPU (Graphical Processing Unit) is one great example. At a juiced-up 4.20 TFLOPS, this console is to the current PS4 (and the Xbox One S) what Brock Lesnar is to Mr. Bean. It will bring you twice the graphics processing power that you’ve been used to. Does that really matter, you say? Yeah, it matters a lot, smart guy. Because that means big upgrades in framerate, image rendering, lighting, resolution, the whole enchilada. You say you want 60fps for every game, all the time? Done.
Better Games
Developers aren’t stupid; they’re watching the latest hardware developments, and you’re damn right they’re eager to take advantage of the upgrades that the PS4 Pro can bring. Upcoming mega-titles like Final Fantasy XV and Battlefield 1 are looking to redefine visual awesomeness in gaming, and the PS4 Pro will almost be a must if you want to truly take advantage of the experience.
But, you might ask, why not just wait for an Xbox One “Scorpio,” coming in 2017? That will also play those games, just as well. But you’re forgetting one thing: the PlayStation library of exclusives. It is pretty much an accepted fact that, especially with the PS4, Sony’s library of games, and especially its exclusives, has been way better than Xbox’s. You have some huge titles with the PS4 Pro, like God of War, or the next Uncharted game. And let’s not forget The Last Guardian … if it ever comes out. Search your feelings; you know it to be true: Sony’s better selection of games will make the PS4 Pro the console of choice for the next generation.
Now that you’ve heard our very intelligent and convincing reasons, you need to go out and get a PS4 Pro when it releases November 10th. That, and a PlayStation VR. And maybe grab a 4K TV while you’re at it. Hey, we both know you’re going to get them all sometime – why not get it out of the way early?
