4k displays cost upwards of $10k .. and are super-high end. The avg. gaming screen size for a PS3 would be a 32-40" .. so 4K resolution on that screen-size seems 4x overkill
But we are forgetting the most important point, more than 95% of the ps3 games are 720p so let them first come up with 1080p games. 4k seems really useless in terms for console gaming but can be good with respect to movies and PC gaming if we have a monitor,TV or projector which supports 4k.
4k won't happen so early .... & top of that Sony coming up with its current gen console with an updated display system is not a good move now imo. Almost 90% of Sony's Exclusive title & cross platform titles are 720p, & hand full of em' running at 60fps , So with the talks of Next Gen console hitting the shelves sometime next year & game Developers Ranting & cursing the current gen Console's tech, ( is just kicking the bucket ) ,So 4K Console from Sony might be proved a rumor after 28th of Sept .
W8ing fr next year might prove a disadvantage as well as we have new product launches from sony as well as ms-xbox 720 comin up for sure.. God only knows where the industry is goin Tapatalk ftw
