PS4 Pro High Res Images

If someone had told me that was a shit fan mockup I would have believed them. That's just terrible. Looks like the kind of awful mockup you see before consoles are unveiled.

probably beaten :(
 
Have to agree with others: Not really a fan of the triple decker design or the power/eject buttons. Just feels uninspired.

Is there any information so far on how the HDD will be accessed for replacement? Short of popping off the entire top, the only other thing I can see in these images would be the area just beside the ethernet cable port in the back. Perhaps that's a removable bit to access the HDD tray.
 
Now give a limited Horizon ZD PS4 Pro and i'm in!

Why is Sony letting Microsoft run away with good console designs? After the S I cannot even fathom how aesthetically pleasing Scorpio will look.

To me the Xone S looks like a brick! As if MS removed the power brick and just made the whole console to look like one.

Yeah, looks like you can get to it from the back.

bottom right side. (click to make it bigger) It's how the slim version's looks.

edit:
video showing some open it on the slim, most likely identical.

We back to PS3 fat/desktop PC power cable

Yeah, that's an improvement in my eyes. Consoles don't need to be energy efficient.

Even the launch OG PS4 only just made it without one of those three pronged cables, as it was rated for 250 watts, the maximum allowed without one. Later revisions dropped that figure, however.
 
But Scorpio will have better insides too lol

Why do people compare them? Sony intentionally lowballed their internals and aimed for this year at a low price point with the reasoning being that an iterative unit should reflect more modesty.

MS are coming out 12 months later trying to take back the power crown. They are different approaches entirely
 
I really like the design of the Pro - the Slim feels like it was squished, and it looses the personality of the OG PS4 design.

Meanwhile, the PS4 Pro gets that personality back and does more with it. I'm liking the light strip location on it and the substantial feel.
 
It looks absolutely absurd. I can't believe how well Sony did at the beginning, how bad they are screwing up now and how well Microsoft is doing.

Microsoft nailed it with the Xbox One S design along with having a UHD drive for $299. Meanwhile, Scorpio is set to blow the Pro out of the water.

I knew Sony would do something boneheaded eventually. They were overdue.

Why did people compare Xbox 360 and PS3??

Well for one thing, they were actually in competition. But they aren't now. These iterative units are not going to be anything in the long run compared to what their base console sales will be.
 
Sony going the way of microsoft OS initial releases it seems after PS2.....

PS1 Great
PS2 Great
PS3 Eh
PS4 Great
PS4.5 Eh
PS5 ???

Perhaps. But that is besides the point. PS Pro and Scorpio are definitely very much similar things and will be in direct competition, so it is very logical to compare them.

I'm still not clear how company strategy has anything to do with it.
 
Kinda meh, but at least it's not ugly though...

Still, I think it would have looked better with the shiny finish, like OG PS3 and maybe in white?
 
I still refuse to believe that this is what its actually going to look like. I mean who the fuck design this lmao. Its hilarious.
 
Honestly ugly AF, but has no impact on my decision to (not) buy it
 
This joke has already probably been done to death, but I think it's hilarious it just looks like a straight up PS4 with half of another PS4 stacked on top of it. A literal PS4.5
 
IMO, I think the reason the Pro doesn't really look amazing is the matte, textured plastic they're using on it and the slim. If it was a little good side, it'd pop more.
