The Pro is my first PS4, but I'll agree that buying a Pro is a tough sell when you already have a PS4 at its current price.

I don't get that thought....it's about 50 bucks more compared to a slim with 1TB hard drive. It's incredible bang for the buck.

Yes, but I can see the Pro being harder to justify the purchase if you already have and paid for a PS4.

A lot better than HZD

Well duh.

Crackdown 4k > HZD Checkerboard 4k everyday..

You didn't realise they were making fun of Downcrack 3 looking like a PS2 game, did you?!

YEah.....Keep this game in the class where it belongs which is with saints row. It's nice in it's  own right but it seems a joke to even compare it to horizon. Just hope the game doesn't get massacred by battlefront 2 and cod.

The funny thing is Agents of Mayhem, the new game by Volition, the Saints Row studio, looks very similar to Crackdown 3 but much much better.

If you sell it with 1 or two games it's well worth the little extra money imho, even on a 1080p TV...with 4K it's not even a question.

I guess that does depend on how much you can sell if for.

being worse would take too much effort

Wait till that $50.00 price cut and a bundle with Horizon: Zero Dawn or COD: WWII. I must say the Pro is a great console. I bought one a few months ago and the visuals are amazing on just about everything. I think it'll do well this holiday season.

Yea just got one last weekend and I'm glad I did. Not only cause of the visuals but just in general the system runs so much better. The store actually runs really well now much better than before. Multitasking is easier. Boots quicker. HZD looked amazing unfortunately I lost my save by playing it ASAP and then doing a transfer but whatever.



Well, right now they sell 1/5 of ps4 sales.
They expect to rise this ratio, or just sell both, but at same ratio?
Will be interesting to see the ratio after the holidays

When the game is great it is worth to start again.

I would say keep the PS4 sales level and increase Pro.

I expect Pro to be at least $150 cheaper than XOX through the whole holiday period. I expect the XOX p[rice to be what it is. But there will be a lot of bundles to provide greater value. But there might be Pro deals that come in at $299. But possibly with things like $349 and $50 store credit or something. Not an actual $299 price tag.
