You know, I think Sony’s probably going to wait and see what happens with the Scorpio, and if the Scorpio puts pressure on them and if it’s really that much better, maybe they’ll accelerate. But you know, back to my 4K TV thing, I don’t see 4K broadcast until 2020, and I think 4K broadcast is what’s going to cause people to switch their TVs over. So, I think that’s a good time to launch a new console.”

Discuss!!! (Or denounce.)

I actually agree with this.

By 2020, people will get 4k TVs for broadcasts in 4k, and by then, a new console will be needed to showcase that.

That seems like a really good time to launch a new console.
