Yesterday, Sony officially revealed the PS4 Pro, previously codenamed PS4 Neo. While specifications weren’t provided on stage, a press release that was released later on, basically confirmed the specifications that were leaked earlier – the PS4 Pro packs an AMD Polaris-based GPU with 4.2 TFLOPS of computing power.

　　Following Sony’s announcement, Microsoft’s senior director of product management and planning at Xbox, Albert Penello, expressed to be still confident that Microsoft will have the more powerful console ever.

　　Speaking to both IGN and Polygon, Penello believes that the Xbox Scorpio’s power advantage over the PS4 Pro “will be obvious”. During this year's E3, Microsoft presented the Xbox Scorpio to be the "most powerful console ever" with 6 TFLOPS of GPU power.

"It's interesting that we've arrived in a similar place," he said, referring to Sony and Microsoft. "The PlayStation 4 Pro gives developers a road map for 4K gaming."
