This will be a SHORTER generation BECAUSE.. 4k.. in two years 4k TVs will be the majority of SETS owned.. People are going to ask why they DONT have 4k gaming.. The PS3/X360 came out at the BEGINNING of 720p/1080p .. so they were able to ride out out.. the PS4/X1 came out at the beginning of 4k,, but WITHOUT support for it.. This will be the reason we will see a 5-6 year generation at BEST..

Nobody is in a rush to make or produce 4K programming and content its going to take a lot longer then 2 years before the 4K will be the majority of sets owned.

4K blue rays come out this year with over 100 titles ..   Amazon, Netflix, Sony and others are already streaming 4k content..  4k TV programming is coming this year from DirecTV.  so 2016 is the just the beginning of an onslaught of 4k HDR content.....  SO sorry.. in 2 years..  it will be a big deal.. By then 8k TVs will be normalizing in price.. lol

So what? Just because this technology is hitting the market doesn't mean that consumers as a whole will instantly gravitate to it. How many years did it take for Blu-ray to overtake DVD sales. Ohh right. It still hasn't happened.

Most people don't really care, and now the difference between 1080p and 4K is even harder to distinguish than the difference between 720p and 1080p to the average consumer from 8-10 feet away, and you expect them to eat this all up? Almost instantly? Not happeniing. Big deal or not, it'll be a long long while before Sony or MS can assume their average potential customer will have a 4K tv, and until that time they won't bother. That's something you might be able to say in 2020 or 2021, but certainly not in 2017 or 2018.
