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

The 360 didnt have a super processor like the Cell or Bluray because they very expensive. The entry model didnt even have a HDD.

But the X1 S does have UHD because it appears to be a relatively cheap part. You would think Sony would add UHD for at reason.

People arent paying extra for UHD in the X1 S though. I feel like youre missing that simple point. If Scorpio is more than 399, its because of that sexy beastly GPU. But you'll probably argue consumers dont need all those tflops.

So where was the outcry when the 360 didn't include a HDD or wifi?  *spoiler alert* there wasn't.  

Relatively cheap?  if the xbox slim didn't have it I bet it would retail at 249. Fact is it costs a margin extra and considering the ps4's beastly sales that margin turns into hundreds of millions.  Microsoft can afford to lose that.  They've billions just lying around waiting to be spent.  Sony can't,  they have to run the business smart.  Not cater to a tiny niche. Cater to the masses.  And keep on winning.  

 

360 was released before everybody had wifi and games were played from discs. PS4 Pro is the 4K powerhouse without a UHD drive, cheap hardware X1 S has. Its a bad comparison. However, the PS3 audience did boast about having bluray and wifi.

Your bet is unlikely. I agree Sony is in a position where saving money may be important to them. But that isnt always best for consumers.
