Sony finally unveiled their upgraded PlayStation 4 this week. It's called PS4 Pro, costs £349 / $399 and will be released this autumn. The specs were announced shortly after and although it may not be a monster of a machine, it is indeed more powerful than the regular PlayStation 4 that rests under your TV at home.
Microsoft has their own new, more powerful console in the works too. It's an Xbox that goes under the temporary name of Project Scorpio, and it was announced during their E3 presser this summer.
And it appears that they're comfortable enough to say that their upcoming machine is "obviously more powerful" than Sony's new box. That's according to Microsoft's senior director of product management and planning, Albert Penello.
"I feel pretty good about the decisions we've made," he told Polygon in an interview. On paper the Scorpio will be 43% more powerful than the PS4 Pro and Penello says that "the performance delta will be obvious."
Penello didn't want to put a final price tag on the Scorpio just yet but he had the following to say about it: "We know it's important to deliver an experience that demonstrates the power gap between [the PS4 Pro and Scorpio] at a price that makes sense to console gamers."
