| bluedawgs said: While I agree that it's a smart move from a business stand point, and perhaps even a customer stand point given the affordable price given the lack of the 4k blu ray drive, i can't deny the obvious oversight of not adding a 4k blu ray drive to the console that has marketing based entirely around its 4k streaming and gaming capabilities. However, I do see this decision being viewed as a more logical one in the future, because DVDS and Blu Rays are in fact a dying medium, and due to the fact that they are a dying medium, the decision of not adding a 4k blu ray drive will appear to be smarter the more DVDs and Blu Rays fade into obscurity. But as it stands currently, with the slim version of the Xbox One featuring the 4k blu ray at a $299 price point, the decision to not add a 4k blu ray to the PS4 Pro seems foolish. |
It's both a business move and a 'trend' move. By not including 4K to the PS4pro, they give more value to their deals with Youtube and Netflix, as well as add value to their PSVue service when that finally offers 4K. It also drives traffic through their online infrastructure and moves consumers ever closer to their 'services'.
Watch Sony announce a PS4K with even more power not long after the Scorpio releases.
The PS5 Exists.
