Perhaps, but there's not much in it. The drive is a $15.50 premium over the drive in the old model (source below). I guess Sony have to live in the here and now, but blu-ray drives used to be wildly more expensive than they are now, I expect it won't make too much difference to profit per console to Microsoft before long. |
$15 is a lot when discussing a non essential component for a systems which profit margins are probably less than $50. It could literally eat into half of all their hardware profits this holiday.
Anyway I'm glad for the consumer that Microsoft included a 4k Blu-ray drive for those in the market for one. Buying a standalone disk player in 2016 for hundreds of dollars is really bizzare lol
