If this is 200 or 250 bucks, they will probably slaught MS. TBH, I don't see many people interested in Blu-Rays, it's really just a niche that still gets films on discs. The 4K BR drive is pretty expensive, so cutting it on the low-end model seems reasonable. Do you really think that a 300 dollar PS4 Slim with 4K BR and HDR support would have more impact than a stripped down model that's 50-100 bucks cheaper?
A 4K HDR TV isn't something mainstream yet. It's more of a high-end device. The cheapest ones are around 1000 dollars. I don't see someone who pays this much on a TV getting a PS4 slim instead of the higher-end PS4K model, specially if the rumours about a 400 dollar price point are true. Even if it's 500 bucks, it's not that expensive for people buying 65' high-end televisions.
