How people think that at this point anything that Sony or Microsoft(or Nintendo) do will have any meaningful impact on the current sales trend is beyond me.

People who don't have an *insert console* yet and don't want to wait or spend too much money on *insert next console iteration* will buy the Slim. There is nothing more to it. No one buys any slim model just for its features.

4K is a decent feature and one that MS thought was worth adding. Now there's 2 reasons they thought it was worth adding, to add value to maintain $300 price tag and/or to make their product a more attractive purchase over the competition. 

Too bad that neither price or hardware features will make people buy it that weren't already planning on buying an Xbox.

4K is about as much added value as adding an additional USB port. Anyone who cares about 4k will already have the means to playback their media and will certainly not make this a main deciding factor for their purchase.

A person trying to decide between PS4 and Xbox and then going for Xbox because 4k is something that does not exist.
