So you haven't used either, and you employ double standards to push your agenda. Gotcha. 

I didn't say Sony are on a streaming crusade or that they're leading the streaming future.  They're joining it and by them doing so is a boost for streaming vs UHD which let's be real here is never going to take over the market.  Maybe some day it will be the majority physical player but by then the sales of physical will be so low it won't really matter. 

I can buy anything I want for whatever reason.  It's called "personal preference."  And after reading Zoombael response to your comment, I see what you're trying to do now.  You're just trying to belittle the potential market for the PS4 Pro.  I gave you the benefit of the doubt, but obviously I was wrong about you.  And in 1st world countries, people always buy more than they need whether it's food, clothes, cells phone functions, kitchen appliances, video games, cars, square footage of a home, etc.  According to your false logic, I'm in a niche market with my Mazda 6.  Maybe I should have picked out the Sport model since I don't need the bells and whistles of the Touring model I currently own.  Better yet besides getting a 6, maybe I should have settled with a 3 since it's cheaper and "does the job."  Then again, the Toyota Camry cost less that a Mazda 3.  For shame I'm in such a niche market.  FOR SHAME!  Yes, that was sarcasm about the Mazda.  Nothing niche about that and the PS4 Pro, nothing new.

These guys are always using strawman tactics because they were wrong with ill intent to begin with.  It doesn't surprise me for a long time now.

I'd like to point out that 4K is not something that'll fade away like a fad, nor is it in competition with streaming. As I've said before, you can get a very good stream if you have a good Internet connection, and I haven't seen a big enough difference between them to justify purchasing an expensive standalone or an Xbox One S.

What this is about is streaming vs physical media.

I know right!  I'm looking forwarded to seeing what I apparently said next :)

Games on Pro run at higher settings even on a 1080p screen and have better framerates.

You can play that on PS3. Nice straw man tactic though. Actually bringing games into an argument that was made to be about media. 😒 This whole thread has turned into a straw man tactic. 

Blu-ray was really struggling against HD DVD in a battle for what they thought was going to be a market as lucrative as DVD was at the time.

Therefore there was a huge incentive for Sony to "trojan" as many Blu-ray players into homes as possible. This ultimately led to them comfortably forcing HD DVD off the market (sales for HD DVD were far better than Blu-ray until the very minute the PS3 hit the US market when it was completely flipped the other way, and HD DVD never clawed it back after that)

This time around with UHD BD, it's a completely different thing. We have seen that BD even 10 years down the line, still hasn't overtaken DVD as the main video format. So although still a big market, nowhere near as lucrative as hoped. Partially due to streaming, but more due to the average person still finding DVD perfectly acceptable.

4K BDs will be a niche market, and will more likely share a similar sort of existence to that enjoyed by Laser Disc in the past. High end releases for the videophiles and big film enthusiasts. There is also no impotus to dethorn Blu-ray as the high definition option, as it is already their format.

So I don't really see why logically, Sony would want to just chuck in a UHD BD player for the sake of it? It was clear from multi DVD games that Blu-ray was offering a better capacity for the direction games were heading in too.

Microsoft on the otherhand know they have exhausted their best software arsenal, and don't have that much left to try and claw back marketshare from the PS4 globally. A UHD BD player could well be for some people, an upgrade that makes them change their purchase.

But the graphics are better on a PlayStation 4. Even more so enhanced on the PS4 Pro, potentially. Yes this is on topic. :)
