here you are with your hyperbole and overly colourful exaggerations of a very simple situation once again.

EVERYONE and EVERYTHING is pushing streaming, merely offering a UHD player doesn't detract from this and doesn't = pushing. Streaming is already literally everywhere. Why are you talking like Sony are on some sort of streaming crusade? If they are then they are late, that horse bolted two years ago. Talking specufically about 4k streaming? Netflix, Amazon built right into every 4k tv already. But best 4k right now in the UK is hands down Sky. On demand movies and amazing 4k football. Don't forget... Sky get Sony movies before anyone else in the UK under their deal too.

 

I didn't say Sony are on a streaming crusade or that they're leading the streaming future.  They're joining it and by them doing so is a boost for streaming vs UHD which let's be real here is never going to take over the market.  Maybe some day it will be the majority physical player but by then the sales of physical will be so low it won't really matter. 

I'd like to point out that 4K is not something that'll fade away like a fad, nor is it in competition with streaming. As I've said before, you can get a very good stream if you have a good Internet connection, and I haven't seen a big enough difference between them to justify purchasing an expensive standalone or an Xbox One S.

 

What this is about is streaming vs physical media.
