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. |
All I know is that when I go in an electronic store, of 100 TVs 95 are 4k TVs now. So even if people don't look for 4k TVs they will automatically buy one if they need a new TV. That alone will drive the 4k TV household penetration nicely the next years.
Sure, some will use their TV for 15 years and they only bought one few years ago but still...
With households interested in tech (which many gamers probably are) it should be an even faster transition.
