Sony PlayStation 4 Pro review: Worth buying on day one?

When Sony announced the PS4 Pro it drew many a gasp of breath. Not because of its faster central and graphics processing, but more for its timing. This was the machine many expected to be pitched against Microsoft’s Project Scorpio, a 4K gaming powerhouse due at the end of 2017.
