Jega said:@ Andrespetmonkeynot by 2012 but by 2016, possible. a developer has to make the game that will run that resolution and you will have to have a tv capable of 2160p to see it by 2015 those tvs should be on the market.Just like in 2006 when the ps3 was released many people could not afford a hdtv but by 2008 2009 more people had the hdtvs. |
No. You will not see a single game run natively at 4,096 x 2,160 on PS4.
1. Horsepower needed to run a game at that resolution smoothly is greater than what PS4 will have under the hood.
2. TV adoption rate for 720 and 1080 resolution TV's were spurred on by the increase in HD content. Movies, broadcasts, games, etc... There is no plan for mass content at 4096x2160 resolution for a long time. It would cost hundreds of billions (if not trillions) of dollars to upgrade (again) all the equipment needed for the industries to support that resolution.
3. At best, you may see some upcsaling to 4096x2160 but most of that will be from PSN type games that won't tax the PS4 too hard to begin with.

I know it did. But that's not relevent to how much power the PS4 will operate under. Just because you can include a 380 watt PSU does not mean it's OK to produce a console that consumes 350 watts of power.
I will say it was rather odd of Sony to launch with a 380 watt PSU despite the console only consuming 180 watts because that's wasting efficiency.
