The problem with not including UHD is that they're also not including BD-XL. As games keep getting bigger, that's going to hurt down the road for those who aren't exclusively on digital distribution. Presuming Scorpio has an optical drive, Microsoft will have the option of releasing a game on a BD-XL disc that will work for Scorpio and Xbox One S (perhaps with a full game download option included for OG Xbox Ones). For many games 50GB already doesn't cut it, let alone down the road. PS4 Pro could have started doing something about it, and it's a missed opportunity for Sony. I'm all for digital distribution, and that's what I do personally, but that's still not the reality for many people. Whether their internet connection is too slow or unreliable, or because they value physical media, many want a disc. Regular BD for AAA console games is obsolescent, and systems should either be digital-only or have BD-XL, IMO. Nothing else makes any sense. We're already seeing games that are incomplete on disc, and you can't play the entire game without a download to get the rest of it (I don't mean a bug fix, I mean the rest of the game).
