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

UHD would have been a great and logical feature for PS4 Pro. But Sony wanted to save money... not much else to say. Sony won, consumers lost. Simple as that. According to you its not even an expensive device.

Bluray was definitely an advantage for PS3, atleast  the price was equal. And again, its just really bizarre it didn't go for UHD on the console boasting so hard about 4K.

Yeah, in PS4 Pro is a good idea. But a year from now is too reactive and could annoy early adopters. I imagine Sony wants to avoid that.

Let's not rewrite history here.  If ps3 had a dvd player and cost a lot less than it did it wouldn't have stumbled out the gate.  

You say Sony won and consumers lost.  By thet logic consumers lost with the Wii and the 360. Well on the 360 those who bought the HD dvd actually did lose.  

You're wrong to say consumers lost.  You'd be right though if you specified that a really small percentage of consumers have lost.  Because UHD is niche in its market.  

Sony won,  yes,  all consumers didn't lose,  a small niche did,  and all consumers won in terms of price.  Happy days.  

I'm not rewriting history, the Cell was a super processor and compeltely unnecessary for a game console. Using a more traditional, low end, processor would have been easier for developers to work with and cheaper. Perhaps they should have spent more on the GPU and less on the CPU. The processor change alone could have kept the price lower.

Okay, consumers benefit from not having UHD in their 4K box. That's obvious.
