Precisely; which shows that they have no faith in the physical market, which is, as mentioned, bad news for people who want proper quality video for their TV's they spent 3000 dollars on (I'm one of those).

PS: with the PS2's staggered launch, fastest selling is debatable, the PS2 was only available in Japan and insignificant Asian markets for about 7-8 months. If you count from global availability, the PS2 will start pulling way ahead now. Besides; the Wii was the actual fastest selling console of all time, and it was of very little consequence in the long run.

In an increasingly tech oriented market with consumers craving multi-purpose hardware, adding proper 4k playback wouldn't have hurt them either. Unless it was deemed a worthless effort, which is clearly is, so my point(s) still stands.

I'm glad I went for a 1080p TV 3 years ago instead of spending €4000 on a 4k TV.  The same quality 4k TV'S are going for €1000 now.  Definitely the right choice to wait, especially with it being clear 4k blu ray isn't the future,  streaming is.  

 

I wonder though,  will the PS5 have a 4k blu ray player?  The tech will be much cheaper by then and would make more sense. 

I bought my 4k TV only a couple of months ago, in anticipation of there actually being some good 4k content at long last. Neflix has decent quality on their 4k content, especially brand new productions, but the compression and lighting is still not very good, regardless of how fast your connection is (I first tested at a 500/50 connection, so that was hardly the issue) or what settings you use.
