PlayStation 4 Pro vs Xbox One X: Which Should you Buy this Holiday Season?

Welcome to 4K gaming, Sony, and Microsoft.

Gamers have been "politely" discussing the merits of owning an Xbox versus owning a PlayStation for a long, long time. Some years the scales tip one way, some years the scales tip the other way. The truth is there's never been a "winner" in this particular conversation for very long, but if you have no loyalty toward one or the other, it's not uncommon to pick based on which is more popular or more capable at the time.

This year, the conversation lands squarely on the shoulders of the latest console heavyweights. Sony's PlayStation 4 Pro and Microsoft's Xbox One X aren't so much a new generation of console as they are more capable versions of the existing generation. These are the versions built to be a little more future-proof, and help set the stage for new gaming experiences.

Here's how the two compare with one another.

Way less interesting on the outside

There's no nice way to put this, both the Xbox One X and the PlayStation 4 Pro look kinda boring.

Microsoft successfully shrunk the massive bland box that was the original Xbox One, and the result is a slightly less boring thing that will easily be mistaken for a generic DVR when it is not powered on. Sony took the slanted box look of the PlayStation 4 and made it bigger to hold more hardware, but it's still just a slanted box with curved edges.
