That's what I'm saying. There is no reason to even mention PS4 other than maybe marketing. But if you notice, it's not Sony that said it, it was that website and the comments below the article already suggest the guy doesn't know what he's talking about. You just need a source media that has 30, 36 or 48 bit color data on it and a device with the proper output as noted before. And, of course, one of the Sony TV's.
Also keep in mind that this only applies to LCD's. Once OLED TV's become popular, this won't even matter as they naturally have a wider color range than even this technology does. |

This. Sony always wants to promote its whole range of products, its brand name as a whole, to keep it strong despite the problems it suffered from in the last years. Also, its display business suffered from heavy losses due to first having sticked too long to Tinitron CRTs before switching to LCDs, then, more recently, due to its low and mid range displays becoming less and less competitive, so now it has to push its middle-high and high-end displays as strong as it can, catching every opportunity to do it.
In this particular case, but it's not the first time it happens, the implicit message to send to users is "PS4, best enjoyed on Sony displays and TVs". No need at all to add "best enjoyed also on competitors' high-end OLED and enhanced LCD displays too", if they want, they can always tell the users their products are excellent for PS4 and be them the ones that advertise competitor products for free.
