There are already blu ray players that display 4k. Adding this to the ps4 isn't going to increase cost. And these sets will probably be available at a decent price within 7 years, which will definitely be within the ps4's life span.

How do you know, what numbers are you using?

Its just an estimate. The 4k sets being released right now are around 30000 bucks so we'll see how long it takes to drop to a reasonable price. 

Fair question, but mine was more about the blu-ray players than the tvs. In essence my question here is more about the PS4's BOM than the rate of adoption question (price of 4k TVs on release).

First one to market is a 84" 4K TV by LG and it is 22k. No idea where this 30k number is coming from, let alone we should all know that a 32-42" will cost a whole lot less than a 84".

Seems like so much in this thread is being blown out of proportion.

It comes from this

That price is what a source says it might be. It's a ballpark estimate, so for all we know it could be $22-25k. SONY won't get away with charging 8k more than LG or Toshiba with a smaller screen size.

First official price we have is in the 22k range.

 

Either way, these prices won't last long. I remember when PS3 launched and 1080p TVs were in the ballpark of $4,000-$10,000.
