Will the Xbox 720 be able to do 4K HD?

I don't understand anyone's fascination with next-gen MSony doing 4K for movies or anything else. Your TV won't do it and those that come to market that can won't be big sellers for a few years. The major shift to HD TVs is now over. People have moved and now TVs are not a primary seller in the market. This will be about as ineffective as 3D.

It makes zero sense to care or even invest in such a pointless endeavor at this point.

It isn't an immediate concern, SuperChunk.  It's a feature which would be valuable during the life of these consoles.

Also, now that we've moved to digital, you can be certain that TV manufacturers will be pushing newer resolutions of TVs every 10-20 years. 

Agreed, however, I still don't see why anyone would care if it was in these consoles. Pretty much no-one will be able to view it in 4K and honestly I have absolutely zero belief next-gen will sport native 1080p for the majority of games. I'm betting most will be 720p native in the first place.

As for movies... pretty much everyone still uses DVDs for everything. Does anyone think a 4K disc/digital movie will be even remotely mainstream in the next 5 to 7 years? I don't. It'll take another 3 years before BR is dominant, let alone anything else.
