The PS4 is selling very well, but Sony as a whole is losing a lot of money. Perhaps this "all in" strategy on 4K TV sets was a mistake. Frankly, I don't see the need for such high resolutions. Yes, I've seen the in-store displays, but those things are HUGE, so YEAH I'm going to notice a difference. So, I have to get an even bigger TV than I already have, making the pixels in my SNES games the size of yams, just to notice a difference? I think I'd rather just keep my smaller TV, which is, well, good enough.
Maybe I'll change my mind in 5 years when "gamma ray" movies come along that actually take advantage of this technology.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
