| enlightenedmaster said: 4k is 2012 technology |
This fragment here shows an immense lack of context. If we ignore context, then sure, 4k has been done for a while now. Unfortunately, consoles are limited by economic factors, such as manufacturing costs, and demand curves (nobody is going to spend $1000 on a console.)
To call 4k "technology" disingenously treats it as something special. All it is is more pixels. It is more appropriate to say 4k-capable technology was first available to consumers upon X date. Even then, it is hard to define what "consumer" means, unless we contextualize the market - in this case Video Game consoles.
"i actually think it will play 5k"
lol, what exactly will it play at 5k resolutions? Tetris? And what displays will have a 5k resolution (as opposed to 8k?) Do you expect these games to be upscaled from the 5k native?
"also APPLE TV will release by then and they are already making 5K mac's"
Yep because I'm sure the aforementioned 5k mac's will be able to run late eighth generation and early ninth generation games at said resoultions on their mobile r9 290's /r9 290x's (the latter of which can't play Dragon Age Inquisition on Ultra above 30fps at 1080p.) Let's also disregard that said imacs cost $2,000. /sarcasm
