After a phenomenal E3 press conference in June, Sony came back today to unveil more products for players to buy later this year. Sadly for many, the event was boring and a disappointment. The event was a boring, hour long conference which saw unenthusiastic Sony execs drone on and on about things that had already leaked months ago or things that just aren't super interesting in the atmosphere of a press conference like this.
The new upgraded PS4, the PS4 Pro, has been made out to be a super powerful machine with lots of features but is missing things as simple as a 4K Blu-Ray player which is included in the Xbox One S. Fans took to Twitter to poke fun at Sony by creating hilarious images and video clips. You can view some of the Tweets below.

The crowd in that PS4 event stream is one rowdy bunch. I've heard more lively funerals…

The official Xbox Twitter and some Xbox execs took this time to promote the Xbox One S and the mysterious Xbox Scorpio which will supposedly get us a step closer to the next gen.

Not everyone was down on the PS4 Pro though, some people already got their units pre-ordered and are gearing up for the November release!

PlayStation 4 Pro will be available November 10th for $399. If you can't wait that long, Sony will be offering a slimmer version of the current PS4 for $299 and it'll release on September 15th. All current PS4s will be upgraded through a firmware update to support HDR gaming.
