Not games.

PS3 and other bluray players can already upscale to 4K. This is really nothing.

Next-gen will remain 1080p standard in games.

Remain? 1080p wasn't even standard this gen. I agree that next gen will go for 1080p as a standard though.

I meant remain as in our preceptions of next-gen.

I think you overstepped what I was jokingly saying, it fine to ask question, speculate, and have debates. But I was just saying that we don't know how Sony operates as a whole, they've been around for decades and that our question, specualtions, and debates that we have on Sony or any other company mean litlle to how they run their businesses.

Bad move, Sony. The cost implications will likely be great, and it'll likely be at least another 10 or so years before its viable for most people.

Do you really believe technology develops so slowly? :O 

Did you know the first HD TV was sold in the mid 1990s and HDTVs finally reached 50% adoption in 2010?

Did you know that DVD was released to the public before the N64? Do you think it would have been a good idea for Nintendo to base the N64 on DVD?

Technology is developed very quickly but takes a very long time to reach mass market acceptance.

I really find these kinds of posts of zero use in a forum, where the purpose is to speculate and use as much fact as possible to come to our own opinions about what companies are or should be doing.

Joke no joke I'm really not a fan of this kind of train of thought. Sales forum = place to speculate on business decisions.

well you have your answer in your own comment above

 

:P

Well, the first 3DTV's were in 2006 and still haven't yet become viable. HDTV's were 2002, and only just now are really viable for everyone. So it'll be at least 2016 before most people could afford a 4KTV.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

The first HDTVs were sold in 1998 in the US ...

Really? That long ago? I thought it was 2 years after the millenium, not before...

Only proves my point more.

and where did I say you couldn't speculate? I'm just saying again that our speculations means little(well unless they're spot on) in regards to how one runs their company. containing to the topic at hand, we're not able to see into the the future or have any first-hand knowledge of what Sony plans to do with this 4k resolution. what I was trying to bring to light was everyone was jumping to what they thought Sony was going to with their 4k resolution based on a paragraph of information.

a site like VGC is welcome to debate and ask questions, we can express our thoughts in either way,(whether you find my post worthwhile or not) so don't get your knickers in a bunch

Sorry for not letting go of this, but it's important for me.

So what is your proposition in response. Would you prefer some of us nuance our posts with something like "it's a little early to tell, but...", or "though I'm not a head of Sony..."

Because, otherwise, to be completely honest I don't see the value in bringing that up.
