Well as far as we know, next Xbox will be the most powerful. If any console has a shot, its Xbox.
Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.
| SvennoJ said: Most modern graphics cards support rendering in that resolution so the only question is if MS is going to support HMDI spec 1.4b or even wait for HDMI 2.0. It all depends on a high speed HDMI port that can output 2160p60 and 1080p60 3D. The currently used 1.4a spec is limited to 2160p24 and 1080p24 3D. The rest is all software upgrades. HDMI 2.0 will probably be revealed at CES in Januari 8-11 http://compcontent.com/cms/hdmi-2-0-is-on-the-horizon/ The HDMI forum has been meeting over the past months to determine the direction HDMI should go in the future. The two directions put forth included (a) an improved TMDS 6Gbps per lane proposal backed by Silicon Image and almost all of the TV manufacturers and the (b) Micro-Packet proposal led by Apple, Intel, AMD and others to make use of existing Displayport technology. While it was expected to be a close call between the two, the enhanced TMDS 6Gbps approach outperformed the Micro-Packet path. As of this writing, the enhanced TMDS 6Gbps per lane (18Gbps total) will be the protocol for HDMI 2.0. In addition to the higher data rate, there are expected to be additional features which may include additional 3D functionality, more than 8 channels of audio, CEC standby and wakeup and more. Keep in mind this is a specification only and there are few current products that could natively meet all of these new specifications anytime soon. In fact, there are still many features in the current HDMI specification that still have yet to be realized by hardware manufacturers to date. As was the case with 1.3 to 1.4, this new specification will serve as a roadmap to future functionality and it will take some time for the manufacturers and technology to catch up in every day use. The official HDMI 2.0 specification is expected to be released by the end of 2012 with the CTS compliance testing specification expected in February or March 2013. We will of course keep you posted as we learn more details concerning HDMI 2.0. |
Intereesting stuff. Maybe HDMI 2.0 will allow Dual Link DVI to finally retire.
I'm still waiting for a 1080p preojector that does allows 120hz 1080p 2D or 1080p @60 3D. I'll make my own 4K 3D capable display then... :)
Nah, Microsoft doesn't believe their fans will want to take on 3 or 4 extra jobs just to be able to afford their next game console.
Seriously though, what kind of question is this? We haven't even gotten to the point yet where 1080p is the standard in TV and gaming (most "HD" television programs are broadcast at 1080i/720p, and many "HD" games aren't even 720p native let alone 1080p.
No way in hell M$ or Sony support 4k in their next consoles, and it's even questionable for their consoles after that. It would take an awful lot of juice to run games smoothly at or near 4k resolution.

There's a point where it becomes pointless. 8 channels of audio. 7.1 was already ridicules in your house setup. 4k-8k. When you need to be super far away to properly view it. 32 inch TV's are the general public norm. and that doesn't even help out 2k. The constant problem in properly releasing shows on blu-ray. PS4 and XBOX whatever won't do 4k. Next gen will. |
32" is not the norm here. When I walk the dog at night I see big screens in most of the houses I walk by. It's a pretty mixed neighbourhood, vastly different sized houses, tvs are all big. 32" definitely won't be the norm 5 years from now.
Games won't do 4K, apart from maybe a few arcade titles. Nothing wrong with the console having the option for images and video content. Why not support the higher res monitors that are already out and affordable. There is more between 1080 and 2160.
And 1 good thing of 4K output is that 720p and 1080p both scale up to 4K without introducing any scaling softness.
Neither console will play games at 4k next gen. The only way that would happen is if they made $1000+ consoles or took massive losses.

We do not know this. Nobody knows because all we have are a billion rumours where 99.9% of them are not true.
I just found this, it is coming

A lot more expensive then 1080p in 2005, but the flagship models are the first step. Consumer models to follow in 2014 maybe 2015.
Lol, silly fucking question, same as with the PS4:
Movies: Maybe, but not a single fuck was given.
Games: roflmao, no.
Highly unlikely. I doubt even the PS4 would support it for games, at least not natively. Upscaled probably.
With movies its definitely possible, we know the PS4 will since Sony will be making 4K TVs so they'll make the PS4 support it too.
Anyway I think glasses-free 3D will become the standard way before 4K does. It's already much more affordable.
Video will output to 4K.
Games will output to 1080p.
Most likely, scaling technology will be introduced, either at launch, or later in the console life, to allow for scaling of HD content to 4K. This will be to facilitate 4K TV buyers and allow them to have a better image resolution when viewing HD content.
You can have a 32" TV and have 4K resolution. DPI determines how many pixels you fit within an inch, not how big the screen is. Therefore, a 4K TV could easily be 32", just more pixels are packed into that 32".
Pixel density is your friend. The more pixels you can get in the same a mount of space, the better. Just like it's better to have 1920x1080 on a 32" screen than it is to have 1280x720. The former packs more pixels into the same 32" than does the latter, giving you a better resolution and image fidelity.
