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 can only assume you are being purposely obtuse.  You keep missing the point time after time in thread after thread.

You said "Sony gone straight to streaming FUTURE".... EVERYONE has gone straight to streaming PRESENT, are you suggesting Microsoft havent?  Offering a UHD option doesnt alter that.  Its an option with neglible cost to the consumer evidenced by the ONEs price.

Also if Sony have gone straight to streaming bypassing UHD, why are they going to laung UHD players?  Just for the hell of it?

You are over complicating things. Whether streaming is already the present or not, it's still the future. And sony are focusing on that. 

UHD is very niche. Companies release products for niche markets all the time as long as there's money to be made. If sony feel they can profit off UHD players then they'll sell them. It's business 101. Pretty simple really.
