Spencer: Scorpio won't do anything for you if you don't have a 4K TV

lol that's the first thing I thought as everyone kept getting excited about these consoles claiming they're aiming for 4k... just how many people have a large 4k TV but are still playing consoles mainly? Those haven't become very affordable just yet.

Well it was the same last generation felt like only a small part had a HD TV but the adoption rate went fast, 4K TV's are still slowly growing.

I think 4k is held back by price, the lack of shows that even bother with it, and the fact that somehow regular old Bluray hasn't even become the standard medium for films and such yet. Seriously, how absurd it is that we're still paying out the ass for a movie to be on Bluray? These transitions usually take a couple years, but somehow they've managed to maintain it as a borderline luxury item as normal dvds carry on as the mainstay. 4k films, in that context, are one heck of a luxury.

There's just so little media available in 4k and people are still transitioning to 1080p and such. Feels like there's a wider gap here than before, though I like that they're planning ahead... and 10% of americans really have 4k already? That seems exceedingly hard to believe.
