Back in 2011 I told my friends next gen games might be 720p after 2015/2016. At first all games might have 1080p. They laughed at me, saying all next gen games will be 1080p. Look at it now.

 

As far reality, 4k is "double" of 1080p and do you know how much processing power does it require? A lot. It becomes even bigger issue when you need to make it happen in a $399 system. It wont be happening. Plus it will take time to 4k TV / monitors become our purchase range cheap. I dont see almost everyone getting a 4k TV / Monitor by 2020.

4k tv's are already getting pretty cheap, and soon 10k tv's will be pretty reasonable.  However, making a game with that kind of detail is gonna get pretty expensive.
