1. but technological progress also increases in exponential terms

8gb in 2012 - $10

16gb in 2013 - $10,8gb in 2010 - $5

32gb in 2014 - $10,16gb in 2010 - $5

64gb in 2015 - $10,32gb in 2010 - $5

so in 2020,when PS5-XBOX NEXT are most likely to release,4K will be pretty cheap like 3DTV's are today

2. comeon,are you in 5th grade that u are nitpicking such small things?

u get what i meant

that way HD or anything else isn't really technology jst an upgrade from its prior scienctific testing product

Even then, it is hard to define what "consumer" means, unless we contextualize the market - in this case Video Game consoles. 

3. really? 

are you trying to impress me with that MBA student trying to impress his employers kind of slick talk?

4. well that way there is no need for 400ppi mobile phones or even 1080p tv's as most games or people don't really take advantage of it or shud i say the 4k tv's available in the market or the 3dtv's or the upcoming VR craze or 8 core mobile phones or 4gb ram mobile phones

all these are selling terms for electronic manufacturers,most of them aren't gonna add much value but still the tech is gonna progress

 

 

 

5. yeah but i wasn't really talking about playing on Mac's or Mac Pro or If you mean a PC............HEHE

i was just talking abt Screen tech of the Mac's

 

 

thanks for being so mature



1. Now can you replicate that depiction with pixel count? I think it is a bad analogy to be honest. The rates at which higher resolutions have become standards in games are much slower than the growth of storage space. In the 7th generation 720p was a standard, in the 8th generation 1080p is a standard. That is only twice the pixel count after seven years. 4k entials about four times the pixel count of 1080p. 

2. I think it was a valid inquiry. 

Are only talking about displays? Not the actually capabilities of the platforms? "You get what I mean." Actually I don't. Do you mean 4k displays are outdated now? (They obviously are not if we look at market adoption rates.)  Or are you speaking of higher-end hardware being capable of 4k? The use of "technology" implied that you meant all of these things. 

3.  Yes, really. What's a standard in the PC or mobile market does not have to be a standard in the console-market. Hence, we must define "consumer" when making such observations. 

4. It is an important question, as it is what this thread has posited, will the next platforms be capable of running games at 4k? You said they'd clearly render games at 5k. I was first inquiring what kind of games you expect these platforms to play at 5k. I then inquired about the television display that will output in 5k. 4k is the future-standard, and 8k will be the standard after that. Will 8k displays be common by the time the PS5/XBTWo release? 

5. This is what I am talking about. http://store.apple.com/us/buy-mac/imac-retina?afid=p238%7CsVDEA0EFo-dc_mtid_1870765e38482_pcrid_52243311610_&cid=aos-us-kwg-pla-mac-slid-

and it was what I assumed you were talking about with, "and they are already making 5K mac's"

If you are just talking about the screen, how is that relevant to your prior point: "i actually think it will play 5k" ?
