Would it make sense for Sony to add an UHD drive in 12 months?

They can say "we cheaped out last year on UHD, but maybe give us more money for the new model that simply adds UHD because we fear you might buy a Scorpio."

They cant do that or even give the impression. It would look bad and there would be backlash.

Look, your OP suggested a NEW PS4 with UHD to take an advantage from Scorpio. Im explaining why its a bad move and would hurt Sony. Its also reactive and Sony says they arent reactive. What Im saying is accurate so now youre trying to turn this into a sales argument. Sony is in a good position but they can still piss off their fans.

Of course they can say that.  It's a business they're running.  They just tell the truth.  UHD was way too niche and expensive.  If the price drops rapidly in 12 months they can say it's still very niche but it's not too pricy so we're adding it in.  

If they can take the backlash which much of is faux outrage they can take the lesser backlash adding it in will take.  It really is a niche requirement but there's a loud and vocal minority who will be silenced with it's inclusion.  

 

Hah, thats a quick way to appear anti consumer.

Its not niche and expensive, if so X1 S wouldnt do it for $299 so people wouldnt believe Sony.

Anywho, let me end this discussion. A new PS4 simply to add UHD would look very bad for Sony. Therefore they may just wait for PS5.
