    How we score

    The Engadget Score is a unique ranking of products based on extensive independent research and analysis by our expert editorial and research teams. The Global Score is arrived at only after curating hundreds, sometimes thousands of weighted data points (such as critic and user reviews).

    Engadget Review

    The PlayStation 4 Pro is the most powerful home console yet, though you’ll need a 4K/HDR TV to truly take advantage of it. If you already have a PS4 and are stuck with a 1080p, you can wait before upgrade.

    Cons
    • Not a huge upgrade for existing PS4 owners with 1080p TVs.
    • No 4K Blu-ray drive.
    • You’ll have to wait for games to get patched to take advantage of it.

    A forgettable product. It isn't bad, exactly, but also doesn't do anything particularly well. - Engadget
