People with datacaps dont wanna stream 4k, that sh*t eats up bandwidth like crazy.
Ultra HD (4k) blu-ray discs are expensive compaired to normal ones.
I dont think 4k is as big a deal as people make it out to be.
I know some will say "its better to have a feature and not use it, than need it and not have it"
But if your not useing it and drives up the price of the console? meh... I think sony was smart going for a cheaper slim build instead.

In the UK though people are moving towards 4k TVs the content just isn't great right now. I mean Sky (one of the main providers) still is using SD and charge ten pounds a month extra for the HD version. Though I think its great the S has it, I just don't think europe will care that much just yet. I don't personally think 4k is going to be mainstream (i.e large numbers) for another 5 years.
I would rather the Neo/Scorpio concentrate on making 1080p and 60FPS a reality or at least better looking games, its a shame they may chase 4k when most gamers don't care. |
^ this.
I dont think its only Europe, I bet most of the world its like that too.

Well, it's definitely not that big a deal, right now. And I say that as a 4K TV owner. It's just a feature that adds to the cost somewhat pointlessly, now. Sony wants the Slim to be cheap so they can sell it to the mainstream at a cheap price. Those who want 4K can upgrade to the PS4 Neo, and have extra power to boot.
Of course, by the time the PS5 launches, it'll probably be a standard feature for consoles, as many more adopt the tech.
