PlayStation 4 Pro 1TB
Score: 76/100
Microsoft Xbox One 1TB Matte Black
Score: 79/100Rankings
The renewed Xbox One 1 TB Special Edition offers generous storage and solid media features, but it still carries the original's bulk and lacks modern HDR/4K gaming. It's a good refurbished option for budget-focused gamers and media-center users.
The PlayStation 4 Pro adds a more powerful GPU, 4K upscaling, HDR10 and improved VR performance to the PS4 platform, but it is bulkier, louder and consumes more power, and it still lacks native 4K Blu-ray playback.

Professional reviewers praised the PS4 Pro for delivering solid 4K and HDR experiences, a richer game library and improved VR performance, while noting its bulkier chassis and the absence of UHD Blu-ray support as key drawbacks.
Everyday users love the visual jump and 4K streaming capabilities, especially on HDR TVs, but many complain about the loud fan, larger footprint, and the fact that most games are only upscaled rather than true 4K.
“"a night-and-day difference" in image quality when playing enhanced titles”
“"It's loud"”
“"Bigger than expected"”
Reviewers note the original Xbox One remains functional but is outclassed by the One S and One X in size, power efficiency, HDR and 4K gaming. Renewed units are viewed positively when certified.
Users praise the console's performance, large storage and sleek matte-black design, while many are disappointed by the missing HDR and native 4K gaming.
