Sony never said that 4k doesn't matter. They said that 4k blu-ray only matters to a minority of potential PS4 buyers. And the facts support that. MS using that against them is only valid of that helps MS gain marketshare. We'll see in the long run whether it goes. My guess? The gap will keep increasing.

To be fair, DVD never really mattered at one point either.
Yet the PS2 included the technology and that storage medium then exploded into popularity.

Blu Ray only mattered to a minority of movie goers at one point, yet the PS3 still pushed that Medium, whilst Microsoft backed the defunct HD DVD standard.

The point is that these consoles are supposed to have a life-time spanning years, what will the market look like in 5 years time? What will 4k adoption be like then? I would likely be more content to retain the Scorpio as a Multimedia hub over the long term.

I don't doubt that Sony has this generation in the bag, but that doesn't mean they should be above criticism where criticism is due, same goes for Microsoft and Nintendo, the consumer can influence things when we demand it. (I.E. Kinect, Always online etc'.)

Blu-Ray has been out for more than 10 years now and it is still lagging behind DVD and sales of both are dropping. At some point we have to accept that something isn't really that big of a deal.
