The difference between the original PlayStation 4 and the PlayStation 4 Pro isn't just the price and the specs. Sure, the PlayStation 4 Pro is the higher-end product, but this guide is for those torn between the two to show the real key pros and cons.

In paper, the PlayStation 4 Pro is obviously more powerful than the standard PlayStation 4. However, this advantages are limited to just a slightly more powerful processor and twice the processing speed of the graphics processing unit.

Here are the key specs of the PlayStation 4 Pro;

Main processor: Custom-chip single Processor

CPU: x86-64 AMD "Jaguar," 8 cores

GPU: 4.20 TFLOPS, AMD Radeon^TM based graphics engine

Memory: GDDR5 8GB 1GB of VRAM

Storage size: 1TB

In terms of performance, anybody would get a considerable amount of improvement in framerates and graphical clarity with the PlayStation 4 Pro. This can be evident with games that rely more on the GPU rather than the CPU.

However, Sony made it clear that there will never be a PlayStation 4 Pro exclusive game, which is actually an additional workload for the developers as they will have to make sure to hold back for the original PlayStation 4 to run the games in development.

Despite this rule, we can still see some evidence of improved visuals on the PlayStation 4 Pro, especially those that are playing it on a 4K T.V. Even with the standard 1080P HD TVs, the HDR mode makes the visuals still stand out.

Other features like the ability to capture 1080p and share 4K screenshots are available to the PlayStation 4 Pro as well along with some advantage with the upcoming Virtual Reality platform for the PlayStation.

Still, for those who knows which games they want and are well aware with these limitations, the extra $100 plus for a PlayStation 4 Pro or so might be overlooked. The same games will be released on both consoles and while there are some advantages with the Pro variant, it still boils down to how the developers will deliver these games, with a few exceptions like the recent "The Last Guardian."

In short, with the PlayStation 4 Pro, consumers get 4K HDR resolution provided they have the TV to support it. As to how well the games will perform on such resolution is up to the developer and for a safe bet on majority of titles, the PlayStation 4 might be a better choice, especially those who may take advantage of incoming discounts and sales.
