With a good game, you may spend 5-20 hours playing it for a single-player experience, and potentially hundreds or even thousands of hours on a multiplayer experience. Having better quality during that experience is great. With almost everybody, you spend 90-180 minutes watching a movie once, and then you may or may not rewatch it a couple of times during the next couple of decades if ever again. I wish 4K or even 8K discs were the standard, widely available and cheap, and highly successful. It just isn't so, and isn't likely to be. We will eventually have streaming standards better than 4K discs (it will take a LONG time though), but I doubt that we ever see another physical movie format, and 4K Bluray will never even see the limited success that Bluray did (which in turn never saw the success that DVD hit!). |
I know 4K UHD Blu-rays will never be "mainstream", doesn't mean it can't sell fine and be profitable though. And I'll say it again, the Pro isn't a product made for the casuals/mainstream. The casuals/mainstreams go where they can get lots of content very cheap, that is Netflix etc for movies, and smartphones (pokemon go, angry birds etc) or PS4 slim (Fifa, Call of Duty etc) for games. PS4 pro is aimed at people who value visual quality, that is the only thing the pro does better than the slim. So there are people who value visual quality in games and there are people who value it in movies. Granted, the former group (for reasons that I don't understand) seems to be substantially bigger than the latter, but I would assume there is a decent overlap, so that the percentage of potential PS4 pro buyers are more interested in 4K UHD than the general population is (also consider how much console gamers support physical games, which i still quite a lot). My guess is that there might be 1% of the general population who care about 4K UHD Blu-rays, but there might be 10% of potential PS4 pro buyers who care about it, I could be wrong of course. It will definitely turn some people over to Microsoft, how many is hard to say.

Are you trolling? Even the guy who posted that video admits it doesn't do it justice, you have to see it in real life, not through a youtube video. Going from 1080p to 4K does the same for movies as it does for games, same with HDR. More jaggies in 4K, what???
