I think sony did the right thing. UHD BR is not something that enough people use to warranting hiking the price of the console for everyone. And sony would know being that if online they know how many people are using the console to watch movies.
But as I sad before, its also something that they could easily support later without changing anything. Just make an external drive for it and keep the cost of entry low. Then let those that want it pay extra for it. Really don't se what the problem is.
This whole UHD thing is not even nearly as relevant as the PS3 having a blu-ray drive was. Its only a big deal now cause its ONE thing MS can say they have that the PS4 doesn't. But its really nothing though.
