How is it possible that a PlayStation 4 can play in 4K and costs less than $300? But a PC that plays 4K costs at least $1500?
>>
Sony gets their hardware direct from the manufacturer so it's much cheaper for them. And then on top of that they sell consoles at a loss because they want to make it up in game sales.
>>
Because
>But a PC that plays 4K costs at least $1500?
is false.

Note also that "4k" on the PS4 Pro is not even native.

Wrong
>>
ps4 is 900p and a good hardware upscaler
Ps5 APU is Polaris and may be able to actually push 4K 30fps
>>
>>60197376
Know that PS4 pro 4k is upscaled and all games run rather poorly.
>>
>>60197376
Except a PC can do much much more than what a console can.
>>
>>60197736
Except play all the exclusive games PS4 has :^).
>>
>>60197768
The only PS4 exclusives that are worth playing are Kingdom Hearts and Ratchet & Clank. I can live without them.
>>
Lies
PS4 can barely pass 25fps at 720 on Bloodborne
>>
>>60197376
More importantly why does the best console ever made use amd if amd is "finished".

You mean $4000.
>>
>>60197376
PS4 Pro does "4K", not 4K (except for indies and some not demanding titles like NBA 2K17, I think). It's basically no different than NVIDIA's HDR or AMD's SDR, or however it was called.

You can play at 4k med/low at a cimematic 24fps on a lot of cheap pcs though anon.

>It's still far from perfect though. You'll still see streaming hitches and stutters around the Commonwealth, especially with a sidekick character in tow. The good news is that complex areas just don't buckle PS4 Pro's frame-rate to quite same degree. Unfortunately, there are still limitations to what this hardware can do, and taking a trip through the Corvega factory has PS4 Pro drop to a similar low of 23fps as the regular PS4. While it's improved overall, this is still a very rough area for the hardware to deal with, and likewise, you get sustained drops to the mid-20s at the top of the building - only 2-3fps faster than the regular PS4.

When playing multiplayer games, the PS4 Pro throttles to PS4 stock speeds to not give framerate advantages.

Magic and trickery, and fancy upscaling techniques. And the PS Pro plays games at something approximating the "high" setting on PC - and even the 480 can get reasonable FPS at medium-high setting at 4k

Muh ultra shills.

By "best console" you mean Project Scorpio?
