So let's say xbox scorpio releases next October or November.  It's coming with a UHD drive and a small number of consumers have decided to get the scorpio over the neo because of that.  Despite the scorpio being a lot more expensive. 

So would it make sense for Sony to replace the Pro with a revision and release it a month before. The only change would be replacing the blu ray drive with a UHD drive.  

Currently that would cost them about $15-20 per console.  But tech like this drops in price fast.  For all we know it might only cost $5 extra by then.  So they add it in and sell the new improved neo before the scorpio releases.  At $100-200 cheaper too. 

Would this be a good move?  I know only a few consumers care but it could steal one of the Scorpios main selling points.  

Discuss! 

1. We don't know Scorpio's price. Its not crazy to presume it will be $399.

2. There would be a massive amount of backlash if Sony released a new PS4 with a UHD drive. They need to wait a few years and maybe put it in a PS4 Pro Slim.

3. UHD isn't just a Scorpio selling point, X1 S already has UHD support. Frankly, Sony made a bad call. Both the PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro should have UHD support.
