They have already been working on a replacement.  HDMI 1.x is pretty much out of expansion abilty.  The early protoypes would use things like Cat-5 cables - which would be awesome!  They are inexpensive and you can get them in really long lengths.  But that one doesn't seem to be taking off.

Then Apple and Intel got involved and want it to be the display port.  But the Motion Picture liked HDMI for it's strong DRM.

They are also working on an HDMI 2 format supposed to be out in September of this year and do 4K at 60P and 1080P 3D at 120P (so each eye can see a full 1080P/60 image.)

But it will work with these consoles, I mean will it have the same plug?

Will HDMI 2 be the same plug as HDMI 1?

I really don't know, and would like to know that myself.  I think they would probably like to, but should also add some shielding.  Will it just be a different colour like USB? or something different? I think they should also have a 4K 3D standard too, but don't seem to as of yet.

Plus, they are still supposed to make a pure optical one, but that seems years away, again.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned.
