The Slim and Pro Partnership
The way Sony unveiled their two new PS4 systems may not have won over every PlayStation fan, but the products themselves are a solid partnership that is sure to help bolster PS4 sales as we hit the midway point. Offering up a refined and sleeker version of the current unit at the lower price point, and the 4K-capable PS4 Pro at the original selling price of the PS4, means that all platform bases were covered for the gaming demographic.
Those who wanted to just get the standard PS4 experience could pick it up without paying for additional power they didn’t care about, nor necessarily get the most out of. On the other hand, with the rise of 4K displays and players looking to be on the precipice of what technology has to offer, the PS4 Pro offers a taste of it without breaking the bank. As it stands, the PS4 duo caters to all audiences and offers a potential upgrade for existing owners who want to make use of their shiny new 4K displays.
