PlayStation 4 Pro will not include a 4K Blu-Ray player

Focusing on games.

The PS4 Pro was just revealed to much disappointment from fans and to add to the disappointment, Sony has revealed that the upgraded PS4 will not include a 4K Blu-Ray player like its competitor, the Xbox One S, does.

Several sources have reached out to Sony for comment on the matter of if a 4K Blu-Ray player would be included, and it would appear that they are indeed not including it. This is a very bizarre choice for a console that is focusing on being a 4K machine but not including a way to watch 4K Blu-Ray discs. Sony claims the reasoning for the lack of the Blu-Ray player is that the console will focus mostly on gaming even though it has 4K Netflix and YouTube apps.

Sony also showed off gameplay for Mass Effect: Andromeda, Horizon: Zero Dawn, and revealed a slimmed down PS4.
