So, for the average consumer, who may already be streaming in 4K using equipment they already have at home, the incentive for going back to physical media just isn’t there. It reintroduces a problem that they’ve already solved and doesn’t offer a huge benefit.
Josh. You sort of threw me with this remark. Although I understand your point,I doubt the average consumer is even aware of 4K.
Enthusiasts here will feel differently and for us, our priorities are different and what we’re looking for out of our movie watching experiences are different, but for the average consumer, low cost streaming is where it’s at.
That's how I see it too but it bodes poorly for us enthusiasts. The 4K standard will likely never reach the economy of scale necessary to drive prices down to reasonable levels for either hardware or software.
