With the recently announced Nintendo Switch, formerly NX, Sony's PlayStation 4 Pro is getting more competition and this is still excluding the promise that Microsoft's Xbox One Scorpio made. With all the specs of the Switch and the PS4 Pro, we weight down how the two compare for overall value.

With the sudden announcement of the Nintendo Switch, the already dimming spotlight that the PlayStation 4 Pro might have totally blackened out. Still, this is not to say that the PlayStation 4 Pro isn't without any actual advantage over the original PlayStation 4 Pro.

Gamingbolt's recent report regarding the PlayStation 4 Pro tackles a factual take of how the 4K industry stands now. According to Michael Patchter, a well-known analyst, the 4K penetration isn't all that good especially in the US.

"4KTVs are still a bit too expensive. I literally just bought a TV, our second room television, and I had a choice between a 55inch Samsung curved 1080p TV for $700, and the same TV in UHD for $1100. And I thought about it, and I realized, it's not worth an additional $400. There's no programming for 4K. There's no broadcast television. I can watch Netflix in 4K, and play games when I get my Scorpio in a year, but do I want a TV for that now? And the answer is, no, I don't. I can afford it, and I didn't do it." - he emphasizes.

With this regard, it would sound like the PlayStation 4 Pro's attempt to actually hog a bit of action with the 4K, even though it appeared as a half-hearted attempt due to its limited upscaled 4k gaming experience, wouldn't really matter in the near future or even in the long run.

Nintendo Switch, on the other hand, is looking good and as the product teasers suggests, Nintendo is not intent on repeating the same marketing mistake it did with the Wii U.

Compared to the PlayStation 4 Pro upgrading from the standard PlayStation 4. the Nintendo Switch jumping from the Wii U is quite a significant move. This isn't exactly saying the the Nintendo Switch will be better than the PlayStation 4 Pro as it is a hybrid device, but the same reason applies why it could potentially be a better purchase.

Still, if we are to compare the PlayStation 4 Pro and the Nintendo Switch, it would be as TV consoles and again, it still boils down to the selection of games available. Fortunately for the Switch, its new GPU will be a Maxwell-based Nvidia chip (via Segment Next) and if anything, this spells stronger processing power and those considering the console can expect somewhere between the current and previous generation visuals.

In the next few weeks or months, we'll learn more about the Nintendo Switch and we'll get a better picture of how it compares with the already announced PlayStation 4 Pro. Be sure to stay tuned for updates.
