Three years ago at the US launch of the PS4 the first person in line was Joey Chiu, and yesterday at the launch of PS4 Pro it was Chiu once again who was at the front of the queue.

Chiu spoke to GamesBeat about his thoughts on the new console, and why he decided to pick one up at day one.
“Compared to the original PS4 launch, which was lots of excitement and wonder for what was to come, PS4 Pro being a mid-gen iteration, there’s more a curiosity of how this is going to play out,” Chiu said. “[And how it will benefit] what we have in our existing game libraries and how developers will handle multiple hardware options in the wild.”
“It was the assurance of software support for the new PS4 Pro that ultimately swayed me,” he added. “Can’t play hardware without software, after all, and the enhanced functions like higher quality live-streaming were really enticing to me.”
And what will Chiu be playing first on the Pro? He’s going back to those games which have been patched.
“First off, I’m going to deep-dive into the games that got patched with the PS4 Pro support like Infamous: First Light, and then I’ll get into the more recent releases,” he said.
PS4 Pro is out now priced £349.
