For those wanting to purchase a new console, here is a visualization of what to expect power wise from each of the systems available this year, a handy graph comparing the different options from a purely graphical point of view. The teraflops listed for each is the best way to measure the power of each GPU and relates to what visual capabilities they will have. All systems support HDR with the exception of the original Xbox One.
(Xbox One: 1.31, Xbox One S: 1.40, PS4: 1.84, PS4 Pro: 4.20)
As a reference all systems can be had for $299.99 (USD), except the Playstation 4 Pro which will set you back $100 more. If 1 TB hard drive space is something you feel you need however, (as many do these days) PS4 pro will be only $50 more than the Xbox One S at similar HDD capacity, and yet, for gaming offers vastly more power. On the other hand if you are a videophile without a high speed internet connection and unlimited data, the Xbox One S has the advantage of being the only console coming with the new BluRay UHD drive.
Happy Shopping!

"The Bengal tiger is by far the most aggressive animal we have created in our game. Their sheer ferocity is unrivaled, but what truly sets them apart is their unique behavior: they actively stalk you!
When tweaking the tiger’s behavior, I drew inspiration from the movies of my childhood, such as “Jaws”, “Predator”, and slasher films like “Friday the 13th” and “Nightmare on Elm Street”." - François | Expansive Worlds
I'd say you can't go wrong with the PS4 Pro at £350 unless you really want that UHD player.
Wow, what a pointless article. Here's a graph showing maximum GPU performance to base your decision off of.
While the PS4 Pro no doubt has way more in the GPU department, only select tiles will ever use the added horsepower. Unless a dev creates a special mode to enable on the Pro model, the game will look and play identical to the base PS4. It's like having a Ferrari but only being able to take it through school zones.
The games that enable the Pro features, absolutely will look and play much, much better.
But it's a pretty bad article when you are just throwing out numbers saying "Clearly based off this super detailed graph, the Pro is the best one".
"On the other hand if you are a videophile without a high speed internet connection and unlimited data..."
or if you prefer actual true 4K content not being streamed at a less than ideal bitrate which can only be found via a physical disc....
