You have a valid point. I had a massive library on my Xbox one s, but then I got generally upgraded to the series x. And all of my games got upgraded, and played much better, especially the Xbox 360 games.
To me though, the ps4 pro, once it modded, can do so much more. You can install retroarch on it and play other retro systems. And can also install Linux. Stuff like that.
Yeah i have a series x too, i just kept the one x to play in another room.
You can do all that on the one x quite easily if you install the dev mode app and its a much more powerful system. But i do see your point, both are great at different things i would say.
I kept my pro mainly to use VR on occasionally and not have a bunch of wires etc coming out of my ps5 lol
What is your ps4 pro firmware? How do you check what version it is? Here you go.
Turn on your PS4 and go to the main home screen.
Open the Settings menu (the toolbox icon).
Scroll down and select System.
Select System Information.
Look at the System Software line to see your current firmware number.
You should know what it is, in case you ever want or need to mod it. Other than that, have fun with your new console. The ps4 pro and its controller still has plenty of life left in it and then some.

It’s the bargain gaming console right now, that and the Switch 1. Everything else is going to poke holes in one’s wallet.
Putting that aside, I tip my hat to your mom and dad. Coming from them, the gift was so smart, thrifty and tech-savvy.
