Cost of UHD Blu Ray - Is MS subsidizing Xbone S, or is Sony just milking it?

Why? over 80% of the 4k televisions have 4k streaming build in to the television, more power effecient, easier with the TV remote, streaming services are not something you need a console for anymore.

Streaming from an external device that polishes the image and sound gives it a better quality/experience I guess. But the PS4 isn't known for image refining, like a dedicated blu ray player does.

most televisions have a good upscaler, so the image should be equal or better, but overall people have proven over and over again that streaming quality isn't as important, the Wii was the #1 streaming device for netflix for years and that didn't even look sharp on an old regular tv lol.

The streaming is added because the console outputs 4k. This meens it supports 4k streaming, this costs nothing. the UHD was not included to keep the price low, its that simple, some people won't like it, others will love the price. Its a decision, but streaming has nothing to do with it.
