This product is aimed at people who value visual quality, why should they be satisfied with streaming, which is absolutely lackcluster in both visual and audio quality. People who are satisfied with downgraded visuals of movies or games would probably buy the slim. |
100% what I'm thinking as well. There is no good reason for it not to support 4K discs, the total added cost would be more than neglectable, Sony are both co-owners of the format itself as well heavy on contacts and suppliers for parts and assembly on anything and everything blu-ray related. It sounds like the feeble excuses that were used last gen when Nintendo chose to region lock their consoles, they did because they did it, more or less, the reasoning behind was nonsense. Sony, a tech and hi-fi company with a long history of formats, film and movie distribution, always at the forefront of tech when it comes to visual and audiovisual technology, have left out the best version of their own format where they distribute their own films on their own platform. It makes no sense what so ever, even if the pool of potential consumers who would buy for 4K discs is small, which I'm not so sure that it is. Getting a kick-ass console with upscaled 4K gaming and proper 4K movies on disc could be just what the doctor ordered and it certainly wouldn't detract from the appeal of the Pro at any rate.
