"As announced at Sony's PlayStation Meeting, a firmware update for all PS4 models--dating back to launch in November 2013--will add HDR and 4K support. This is currently available with the Xbox One S, but not earlier models"
Well the Xbox one S is hardware based. While the all models of the PS4 and PS Pro will be software. Also PS4 Pro is still only going to use HDMI 1.0
Maybe you don't care about top quality, but some people do. Not to mention not everyone has a 25mbps internet connection to stream 4k, with a data cap on top of that. They've isolated part of the market by doing this. Thank Greedy ISPs.
