I bought a converter but decided not to bother with it. The PS3, Xbox 360, and Dish Network all run into the Sony amp (with Bose surround sound system). The HDMI out runs into a splitter. One HDMI runs into the back of my Xbox One. The other runs into HDMI 1 of the TV. I can switch between consoles/TV using the amp. No noticeable degrade when playing games on TV. Xbox One gets HDMI 2 PS4 gets HDMI 3 WiiU gets HDMI 4--which is noticeably less capable than the other HDMI ports PSVR obviously connected to PS4 (with camera) Kinect is connected to Xbox One Simple!

Does you wife hate you when she simply wants to watch tv :)
How do you get the sound from XBox One and PS4 on your amp?
ARC channel and optical out are all limited afaik. (my 1080p tv only returns stereo as audio out, useless)
My spaghetti setup in the livingroom is
Yamaha RX-V473 (stop gap receiver until I find a good hdmi 2.0a receiver, this one can't quite deliver full power to my speakers)
HDPVR (cable receiver), PS3, PS4, WiiU connected by HDMI via receiver on HDMI 1 on tv
PS2 connected with component video and optical audio via receiver on component 1 on tv (receiver doesn't convert component to hdmi)
DVD player connected with component video and coaxial digital audio via receiver on component 1 on tv
LaserDisc player connected with S-VHS and optical audio via receiver upscaled to hdmi (LaserDisc player is broken however)
I've got another color coded hdmi cable in the av unit, direct connection to HDMI 2 on tv in case I want to play ps4 while listening to another hdmi source. Stupid receiver can only mix audio of non HDMI sources with a HDMI source, no direct HDMI audio swapping. But as a slight advantage I still get the game sound over tv speakers while listening to my music without needing spotify.
Together with the cable mess of 5 speakers, and a subwoofer which has it own voltage upconverter (sub runs on 220v), ps eye, ps4 cam, wii U sensor bar (for Wii compatibility), wii U cradle, iPod, Controller charge cables, power cables, extension cords, it's an epic mess behind the av cabinet.
1st world problems!
(oh forgot the coaxial cable to tv for Intellivision 2)
