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

The PS3 wasn't really a beast at gaming though for the price. It was at par with 360 inspite of very expensive parts like Bluray and the Cell. The PS4 is basically the opposite of PS3.

I get what you're saying, but relatively speaking UHD is not an expensive part like Bluray in '06, not even close.

Again, I don't feel excluding UHD was best for consumers considering its the best and most practical way for most to watch 4K video. But we both agree Sony is trying to save money. No need to argue about it.

My argument is it's best for consumers because only a small niche use it. It's not important to thr majority of buyers.  Thus saving money for Sony and their fans is the priority.  High fives all round (except for the very few who want a UHD drive).  

Again, Sony saving money doesn't mean better value for consumers. Adding UHD doesn't mean price had to go up.

High fives all round, at Sony maybe.
