It's the best option for the majority of their consumers.
The ps3 was meant to launch a lot earlier but had to be delayed because they were waiting for the tech they wanted in it to be ready and available. They went through development hell trying to build a beast.
And it cost them billions. Meanwhile Microsoft rushed out theirs. I didn't see them delaying their plans so they could include blu ray, wifi tech etc. No they did what was best for them and got their comsole out asap.
That turned them from pretty irrelevant with the original xbox to a major player.
This UHD incident is on a much smaller scale but the thought process is the same. Sony know the masses don't care so they ain't taking on unnecessary costs. Great business decision and great for the vast majorit |
The blu ray player was not what cost Sony billions or made the PS3 a development hell. It was their "cell" that they bragged so much about as being the greatest thing ever.
