And it matters even less for 4K Blu-Ray, at least with regards to gamers. AV philes are a different market.
Granted, the format is new enough that one can argue it just needs time to gain traction, but currently, it's looking more like 3D BD was in its heyday in terms of media support. It's a pretty small market.
It's probably not the best comparison, seeing as how 4K HDTV should eventually become the standard, simply because they're already available for under $400, whereas the 120 and 240 hz 3D capable HDTVs were a harder sell. Manufacturers resorted to trying to convince consumers that the high refresh rates also made broadcast sports look significantly better.
But, there is still going to be a market for people who just bought 4K HDTVs that want a player that takes full advantage of the extra resolution. I suppose the question to be asked is just how large is that AV phile niche.
