Sony says that since the PS4 Pro's release, 1 in 5 Playstations sold have been the Pro model.

I would only get a Pro if my OG one dies or they start making Pro only games that I would want to get.

Nioh, Horizon, and NieR made dumping my out-of-warranty OG for a Pro a complete no-brainer. Pretty sure there will never be a Pro-only game though. Nioh is probably about as close to that as they'll get; it's a very noticeable difference but still by no means unplayable on non-Pro.

Nioh was more playable on vanilla than 99% of games on the platform. I took 720 (or whatever it was) 60 and never looked back. Sure, 1080 60 on the Pro is ideal, but I'll take 720 60 in a second over the 1080 30 that most PS4 games force on me.

My TV can't do HDR so the Pro loses most of its appeal to me right there.

Edit nm regular ps4 can do HDR too. Well, whatever.

Pro lost me when they decided not to put a 4K blu ray player in the thing. Bunch of cheap asses

The omission of a 4k drive was bullshit, and the reason I didn't jump in on day one, but my PS4 time quadrupled when I upgraded to the Pro. It and a 4k tv are a substantial upgrade. The reason my Xbone does nothing but collect dust is because multi-platform games look like shit on it compared to the PS4, and the gap between the Pro and standard is even larger. It's also pretty much a must if you have a PSVR.

Considering you can't have a thread on any gaming forum, filled with enthusiasts, without half the people claiming they see no difference between 30 or 60 fps, or 720p and 1080p or 4k, or any number of "you're fucking blind" issues, 20% of PS4 sales being the Pro is actually pretty damn good. It's $150 premium to play the exact same games.

I thought so as well, until I tried the RE7 demo and came out completely on the other side of the argument. Since then I've experienced plenty of VR experiences that have convinced me it's legit.

I'm kinda on the Scorpio wait and see Bandwagon as well, but unless Microsoft shits the bed I'll more than likely going to trade up my S. The Pro is excellent and since the Scorpio is even more powerful I'm excited to see what they do with it.
