There must be drawbacks I'm not aware of (distribution/rights and royalties?) or else the margins were already too tight. Down the road could 3D or 4k resolution packages be done with PS4 tech and new TVs? They need initial success and continued downward pressure on the yen to give them wiggle room for R & D and pricing. Maybe some of their internal studios could produce decent games tied to their movies amd vice versa? I've read that UC and others are in the works. We haven't seen many instances where both the movie and the game were successful but it is possible. The issue is quality. They could help sell their paid subscription service with discounts on new movies and free older titles as well as the games. |
This is a very good idea.
Sony is first to market with somewhat affordable 4K TV's. They could utilize PS4 to offer somesort of exclusive 4K content which is very hard to come by currently.
Some drawbacks is that you would need massive internet bandwidth to download and stream 4K, and that very few people will be able to enjoy this for the next 3-4 years as 4K TV penetration isn't expected to be very big. Current 4K TV technology doesn't even allow a normal 60hz refresh rate at 4K which is a huge drawback, especially when buying a 5000 dollar TV.
