PlayStation 4 Pro 1TB
Score: 76/100
Xbox One X 1TB
Score: 86/100Rankings
The Xbox One X delivers the most powerful hardware of the original generation, with a 1 TB HDD and HDR-capable media playback, but it still lacks native 4K gaming and carries a bulky chassis. It suits users who value multimedia features and backward compatibility over cutting-edge graphics.
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.
Reviewers commend the polished interface, solid graphics and multimedia features, but criticize the bulky chassis, lack of native 4K/HDR gaming and the resource-heavy Kinect.
Users love the comfortable controller, ample storage and backward compatibility, yet lament the missing 4K/HDR gaming and the cumbersome external power brick.
“"a night-and-day difference" in image quality when playing enhanced titles”
“"It's loud"”
“"Bigger than expected"”
Choose the PS4 Pro for an affordable 4K upgrade with VR and a larger library; choose Xbox One X if native 4K and Blu-ray playback are top priorities
