PlayStation 4 Pro is different from its precursor because of its higher visual fidelity for video streaming and 4K compatibility for future game titles. Andrew House, Sony Entertainment president, said that PS4 Pro would support games such as "Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare," "Spider-Man," and "Mass Effect Andromeda."

The upcoming console boasts of HDR support and 4K compatibility. As opposed to the PS4, the PS4 Pro console features a better clock rate, hard drive options of 500GB to 1TB, and an upgraded GPU.

PlayStation executive Jim Ryan clarified that the PS4 Pro does not come with 4K Blu-Ray player, and therefore, it is similar to regular PS4. According to Ryan, even the High Dynamic Range support is not unique because PS4 aficionados would soon have the same feature through online update. As a result, PS4 users can also enjoy the added feature since HDR does not affect the speed of the processor.

It is important to note that the PS4 Pro does not natively offer higher resolution or better graphics as such. If a game title works well with the regular PS4, the Pro will replicate the same performance.

The difference in graphic quality comes when game developers opt to use the extra features of PS4 Pro. Similarly, a regular high-definition monitor can accommodate the PS4 Pro.  

Sony would release the PlayStation 4 Pro a month after the PS4 Slim version hits the market. PS4 Pro will be rolled out on Nov. 20 for $399, while the PS4 Slim would be released on Sept. 15 at $299. Gamers can pre-order the PS4 Pro via Amazon, GAME, and ShopTo.
