The absence of a 4K Blu-ray player inside the new PlayStation 4 Pro is due to a lack of consumer demand, according PlayStation boss Andrew House. Support cannot be patched in via a firmware update at a later date, either, he confirmed.

“Our feeling is that while physical media continues to be a big part of the games business, we see a trend on video towards streaming,” House told the Guardian. “Certainly with our user base, it’s the second biggest use case for people’s time on the system so we place more emphasis on that area.”

Notably, Microsoft’s recently released Xbox One S—which retails for the same price as the PS4 Slim—does feature a 4K Blu-ray drive, as well as offer 4K and HDR (high dynamic range) output for media content.
