I think this is amazing! Sony will clearly push 4K soon and I think the ps4 will support 4k games.. In 3/4 years time 4k will be everywhere and hopefully Sony can be at the top of it. |
You seriously think we will be playing full retail 4k games on the PS4 and that 4k tv's will be mainstream in 3 years?
no and er.... no.
|
why not? its not really impossible, and In less than 4 years LED tvs took off.
|
So your telling us that PS4 wont be truly viable until its at least 3-4 years old
|
I don't know, but why not?
|
Well itll drive up costs in the early adoption stage, and could alienate most buyers in the first few years. Most people still have Plasma/LCDs, only recently been buying LEDs. You need a console that you can utilize day 1 or else the road to that viability will be rough.

but it isn't impossible, and thats my original point.
|
No, actually it is impossible...
Comparing the adoption rate of LEDs to 4k TVs is highly erroneous. You're comparing advancements to LCD panels based on the same existing resolution/infrastructure of content to an entire new era of content required to take advantage of these new sets.
People don't seem to realize that HDTVs first hit the market back in 1998. Over 10 years later in 2009, the adoption rate was still just under 50%. The industry just spent hundreds of millions billions to adapt the entire infrastructure to 1080p resolution (blu-ray, cable/satellite, etc) as the current standard. Anyone thinking that 4k TV - specifically 4k content, which is what is going to move them - will somehow become the mainstream standard in 3-4 years is kidding themselves, regardless of what Sony does with the PS4.
