I mean for their XB1S and Scorpio sales.

Hence the   :p

This is a good thing, hopefully by 2019 4K gaming will be available to everyone for a good price. I really have high hopes for the ps5.

So 4k TVs will be the standard in about 5 years or so.

what an inaccurate observation.

Back when HDTVs came around, they cost almost 6-7 times the cost of the best standard definition CRT TVs. Pace of adoption was hindered exclusively by the cost.

Now with 4k TVs, Flat panel LCD tech is so mature that everyone is making them. I mean you can get a 4k TV for under $500 today; back in 2003/2004 the cost of most of a 42" HDTV was north of $3000 (and a 29" inch CRT was as little as $300/$400).

We see more models of TVs from the major manufacturers that are 4k than those that are 1080p because that's the only way to remain competitive in the congested display market.

The funny thing is that if you walked into a store with $500-$800 today to buy a TV and you knew nothing about TVs and just went with whatever looked good; it would probably be a 4kTV. By default.

Well those stats sure do explain a lot. Pretty low numbers.

I remember walking in a circuit city and settling on ED for $1,000 because the "full" HD tvs were 5,000-10,000. 4K is cheap by comparison to the ED/HD kick off. 

Exactly, my first flat panel TV was an ED plasma  from Toshiba and at the Time it cost me over $2000 at the time. For a blasted 42" ED plasma TV!!!!!

Now, we can get a 60" 4k TV for under $1500. And even as low as $800 if you choose to go with one of the lesser known brands. 

Yup, I remember when they first came out, having a plasma flat screen was like for big money athletes/movie stars/rap stars, lol, not the average joe. It was a high end luxury item.

4KTV is not, you can get a 50-inch 4K set for under $1000 already easy. It might not be the best quality one, but it's 4K.

There should be zero surprise that 4K adoption is faster than HDTV adoption. HD was very expensive at first, lots of average sets cost $8000-$10,000 as people here can attest to. 

I remember asking my buddy who worked at an electronics store about HDTV around 2003, and he said it was amazing, like looking through a window, lol. It was like this mystical, unattainable technology at first. 

Lol yeah. I bought a discontinued plasma display because I'm a cheap @ss.
