I understand why you would think that, but to include a 4K Bluray player, Sony would have to raise the price to $599, or keep it at $399 but lose lots of money on each sale.  I think they learned their lesson from the PS3 and they won't do that.  They also don't have a competing format (HD-DVD) to go against, so I think there is less incentive to go all out like this.  If you look back at the beginning of this generation, Microsoft tried the media center angle, and that did no go well for them.

If you give gamers the choice of a $299 slim PS4, or a $399 or $499 PS4 with 4K Bluray, I think most would chose the cheaper model.

No they don't, you don't know how much it costs for Sony to put the 4k bluray player in a ps4, a year from now.

And exactly, the rumors say Sony will keep selling the old ps4, so I expect a $299 slim ps4 for the gamers, and $399-499 ps4k for the enthusiast.

I think I agree with your suggestions Turkish.

At the moment it doesnt seem that 4k BR is that expensive ($300), I would expect the price of PS4 components to drop and the price of a 4K BR to drop, and it would be possible me thinks to get that in at $499.

It makes perfect sense that they would make a 4K version with BR player, make it your key product, you'll sell more of them that way. This whole more power and PS4 is obsolete is some real poor reporting by websites again imho.
