Part 1: PS4 Pro vs Xbox One S: Play 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray
As an all-round media centre, certain increasing numbers of users prefer their games consoles to play both UHD Blu-ray discs and 4K streamed media videos like Netfilix. In this aspect, Xbox One S is remarkable better than Sony's PS4 Pro, because Xbox One S has doubled its 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player to shoot any new format discs and HDR videos. While PS4 Pro seemingly baffled its UHD Blu-ray support but sticking with "regular" Blu-ray to push 4K format as its benefits.

Part 2: PS4 Pro vs Xbox One S: 4K Video Playback
According to Netflix in UK reports, it will provide 4K streaming content on both consoles of PS4 Pro and Xbox One S. That means even PS4 doesn't have a 4K Blu-ray drive, it does support 4K HDR as most consoles fans expected together with updated YouTube app.
While for Xbox One S, it's certainly ready for 4K videos streaming services. And Amazon Video will be expected to offer 4K streams in the future as well.

Part 3: PS4 Pro vs Xbox One S: 4K HDR gaming
For raw gaming performance, the PS4 Pro has a little edger of higher resolution to output games, although we’ll obviously have to get one for testing before we have conclusion like that. And PS4 Pro showed plenty of games running in 4K with HDR picture processing, where you can got experience from its several demos. The console, as far as developers told us, is capable of playing games natively in 4K.
The Xbox One S does offer HDR (high dynamic range) gaming though, but you don't get any more detail, just upscale games to 4K with no visual fidelity enhancements aside from HDR rather than rely on your TV's abilities.
