If it isn't 4k and at least 60hz, then no.

 

Why would you need a 4k TV when all current consoles only support 1080P at best? We are talking specifically about gaming here.

Do you not think any of the next gen consoles will even dabble in the 4k gaming zone? I do, and even if the next consoles release 5 or 6 years after PS4 or Xbone that's only 3 or 4 years away.

*EDIT* Note that I am NOT by any means saying 4k will be the standard, but they systems will support 4K,and there will be a handful of them.

 

Maybe some indie games. I vaguely remember the specs of the PS4 and Xbox 1 stating 4k would only be possible natively for images and blu-ray, not gaming. I could be wrong on this. Also, current games have a hard enough time processing 1080P, let alone 4k(2160P if you want to get technical).

I personally do NOT see it happening this gen other than in independent games that lack the visual prowess of AAA games. If at all.

And what about PS5 and XBtwo? Should be releasing around 2018 or 2019.

 

There will be much better TVs by then. I would think the PS5 and Xbox 2 could do 4k by then, although I think we will see those consoles in 2020.

Lol no way. If they still struggle to get a consistent 1080p@60FPS(or even 30!), what makes you think gamers will want it at 4k? 

The PS4(which is the most powerful current console) struggles to even keep 30 frames per second with fallout. There are times where it can reach 18-22 FPS just with 1080p.

 

No way they will be able to support 4K soon. Unless you want horrible frames, then no one will want it. Besides, 1080p is not even that horrible looking. In terms of gaming, what really makes a game shine is visuals, shading, and other things that the game developer does, not the resolution. Oh, and 60 FPS will help make everything look smoother. But unfortunately, people keep demanding better resolution, which is why we can't have smooth 60FPS gameplay
