PS4 Pro’s inability to play 4K UHD discs is, no doubt, short-lived

I see. I find it a shame because it really could have been the ultimate 4k/2160P box(gaming, streaming, UHD blu ray, HDR) that would compliment essentially every 4K TV available. It still can, although serious videophiles like myself can't help but feel it is a serious omission. I feel Sony could have captured most of the 4k market but who really knows. Maybe the cost increase of a UHD blu ray player would have turned off more purchasers than it would have gained videophiles...

Rumors have it , that just to increase the PS4 optical drive to playback cost per dive would have increased to an additional $15.00 to $28.00 per drive!

Microsoft really surprised everyone out the gate with UHD blu ray implementation in the Xbox One S!
