What makes matters more complicated is that there are currently 45 million original PS4 units already sold.
Is it really worth upgrading to the PS4 Pro? Upon first glance, it's apparent that the PS4 Pro only works to the fullest with a 4k HDTV for the best gameplay graphics as possible.
According to Cheat Sheet, given that games that could be played on the Pro version have already been released, both new and re-released ones, the advice previously mentioned does not seem feasible anymore. It's worth, therefore, to juxtapose how certain games are on the standard PS4, PS4 Slim, and the PS4 Pro.
Problems with the Last Guardian
The Last Guardian is a game about a boy who gets acquainted with a ginormous monster.The two other friends need to work their path around a place that isn't really quite fit for them. In order to get through, you are required to come up with environment-themed puzzles, while letting your pet work with you.
While it's an extremely dazzling game, it entails great processing power for its full beauty to unfold. Clearly displaying the environment of the game, while showing a giant, moving animal with all of its parts would require a very powerful console, indeed.
According to PC Advisor, it's impossible for neither the PS 4 nor the Pro version to effectively run the game. A detailed and comprehensive comparison for the game found plenty of notable differences.
Things You Need to Know About the Competition

PS 4 Pro: The Future of Gaming
