Design
The Xbox One S wins the design area, being smaller and having a cute white color.
4K Support
This one’s kinda tricky, because, from a gaming perspective, the PS4 Pro wins, as on Xbox One S games will only be upscales to 4K resolution. On the other hand, considering 4K entertainment, the Xbox One S wins supporting 4K video streaming, and also UHD Blu-Ray playback.
Performance
As you can already see from the specs, Sony is the winner in the performing section.
Controllers
Both consoles seem to have pretty tweaked controllers. Xbox One S features a textured grip to its controller, and also a useful built-in headphone jack. A great thing is the fact that you can create your own custom designed controller.
PS4 Pro has a small window on the touchpad for letting light from the Light Bar through, and some users think this can distract you, instead of just being cool.
Cost and Release Date
The Xbox One S is already available in two options: a 500GB one at £249 and a 1TB one for £299.
The PS4 Pro will only be available from November 10 for one size – 1TB for £349.
Well, what do you think? Which one suits you better?
