Anyone else really disappointed by this? I don't get the push for 4K personally (I do get it from a business perspective) but seriously. We can barely have adequate anti-aliasing, 1080p and 60 fps and we're already pushed to the next best thing? I'd rather have the double GPU-power of the PS4pro go towards a steady 1080p/60fps/8x Antialiasing across the board than having it exhaust itself to render 4K imagery that at the end of the day doesn't make much difference in a moving picture like a game looked at from a distance. 4K - in my opinion - only has benefits in a professional work environment. Graphic designers, photographers, layouters and publishers benefit from less strain on the eyes and more detail looking at their still pictures but I think there is no disCERNYable difference for most of us between a nice Full HD game with good lightning and anti aliasing and a 4K game. HDR is a matter of taste I guess. I was not blown away by artificially lightening up the dark/subtle areas in an image. If I see (and I fear thats the way forward) that the original hardware will be left in the dust and games run less optimized, I will eventually upgrade but proudly run it on my 1080p screen on purpose to rather benefit from smoother framerates and nicer effects than have a huge image floating in front of me always thinking: "For 5% more eyecandy I sacrifice 20% framerate". Thoughts? EDIT: Also... not including a 4K bluray player when pushing for 4K seems really dumb to me. I fear this will be the first mayor kick in the head Sony gives itself since the unveil of the PS4. Yes you can stream. Theoretically. I couldn't imagine streaming (anyways scarce) 4K content on my internet connection (which is the best available here) at all. Generally the PS4pro to me seems like something tacked together quickly to respond to a market that's not really there yet. It lacks the genius that was behind the original hardware.

@BAMozzy I think BC on PS would be great. I have a PS4 but I was disappointed by its lack of backwards compatibility, it doesn't even have access to those digital PS and PS2 games that were available on PS3 (and not sure if on PSP or Vita too). Of course PS4 could run them easily! Remasters are nice but only a few are chosen, most of them are PS3 hits. I don't know what Sony's future plans are but I prefer Microsoft's approach to the whole thing. Even though I never had a 360 I use backwards compatibility quite often on Xbox One and games are cheap or even free (with Gold).
