PS4 Pro certainly produces sharp looking images, and checker boarding has proven to be a good technique. the difference between 4K native and 4k Checkboard is no where near the difference between 720p and 1080. could the 150$ price difference, and maybe a bundled game with the Pro, be justified by MS? from a marketing technique, both consoles are using the "4k" tag, while MS are trying to use "true 4K" i dont think it will make such a big difference. |
For anyone who values image quality to the degree i do, i'd say it's worth it even at $500. I wish Sony have followed a similar strategy for the Pro. I am overall happy with the Pro, i think it's well priced and the image quality bump is significant, but i'd happily have waited a year and paid an extra $100 for a more capable machine. Unfortunately the Scorpio isn't much use to me :(
For the average consumer, my guess is $450 should be the target. It's good hardware value at $500, but so is the Pro as $350. I can see plenty of people being willing to spend an extra $100 for a system marketed as "the most powerful ever", but $150 might be pushing it. If they can hit $400, the Scorpio is a strictly better value proposition hardware wise for even general gamers.
