UK Black Friday: 4k Blu-Ray Does Not Matter!

Let's take a look at the numbers:

PS4 - 143k

Xbox One- 93k

BF week gap: 50k PS4

 

But that gap is not nearly as interesting as the following facts:

Last year X1 sold 134k during UK BF week, significantly down YOY, in one of its two strongest markets, despite its hyped up 4k blu-ray capabilities and the many great deals.

PS4 has destroyed all the ground X1 gained over the last few months on Black Friday: October gap + September gap = 26k X1

 

 

It's reasonable to conclude that 4k-bluray isn't a deciding factor for most consumers. Not now, and definitely not when streaming is the indisputable king.

When Alien is out on 4K BR will talk about how it's a bummer PS4 Pro does not have a player but as of right now I don't care.

remastered so not sure how much better it will be.

could be. It is perfectly fine on yt and netflix 4k.

when I looked at the compatibility for mpeg.246 that the tv asked the file had it, but it wouldn't show the file available for reading

You still didn't say which TV you have. Streaming is of course a whole different thing.
