What was the PlayStation 4 Pro's release date?

The story behind the answer

The PlayStation 4 Pro was released on November 10, 2016.

The Pro was a higher-performance revision of the PlayStation 4 rather than a new console generation. Sony gave it a faster graphics processor and a higher-clocked CPU, enabling improved performance and enhanced visuals in games that supported Pro features.

It was designed for 4K televisions and could render or upscale compatible games to higher resolutions. The system also supported high-dynamic-range output, although the exact benefits depended on each game and display.

The PlayStation 4 Pro launched alongside the slimmer standard PlayStation 4 family revision. It is easy to confuse the Pro’s release with PlayStation VR’s October 2016 launch, but the two products were separate hardware releases one month apart.
