I believe MS included 4K Blu-ray on the XB1 S is because they thought Sony would do the same thing for at least the Pro. It turned out that the Pro would not include 4K Blu-ray, so MS was basically stuck with a smaller profit margin than they could've had if they didn't include it. |
That is likely to be mongst the motivation but for me, having seen the variety of ways they've tried to muddy the water, confusion is the main priority and actual information is offered in that framework. That tell me the main priority was to 'confuse'. The bottom line is MS knew Sony would have all the 4K messaging to themselves and create synonymity with the PS4 brand before MS could even enter the conversation. They needed 4K Blu-ray more than Sony.
You know what I wouldn't be surprised to see? If Sony announced a new disc format that's better than the current format about a month after the Scorpio launches. That's completely out of nothing but for some reason it's something that feels likely.
The PS5 Exists.
