HDTV’s are not much more than large PC monitors with TV tuner built inside. So the sizes will most likely remain the same sizes, from 19′ to around 75′ retail, right? Just the RESOLOTION and the REFRESH rates will kept jacking up. Right? All Sony will have to do with the ps4 is what Microsoft ’s done all along with it’s xbox and x360 consoles. IMPLEMENT A HARDWARE UPSCALER in all PS4’s. Ya’ll remember the X360’s ANA chip? Problem solved.

It will be 1080p 60 frames for all games. Simple.

It will focus on 3D more than stupidly high resolutions.
You do know that you would need a 100 inch screen to even see the difference between the resolutions.

[...] Will Sony Ready the PS4 for Super Hi-Vision? – Again, mixed feelings but the general consensus was no chance. I admit that I fully agree that the PS4 will do better should it concentrate on the 1080p HD market which in my opinion… it is ample for the size of screens that most gamers use. [...]

LOL, anyone that thinks Sonly lost money on PS3, even with lower sales than PS2 Sony made hundreds of millions in profit on PS3. They will be releasing PS4 as soon as the masses that buy these things can put together another few hundred in disposable income to pay for it. It will definitely be higher resolution because all average LCD and Plasma TV already support it. The crappy blocky images you see on current models TV’s are created by recompressed HD-DVD signals so when the marginally better inputs from a 2160p PS4 goes in uncompressed it will look 3x superior and actally noticible. It won’t be worth it, but the masses will buy it because they have been instructed to via the massive marketing campaign. The complete failure of HD-DVD is simply caused by the fact that non-masses, i.e., those that have money, will not buy into marginal incremental increases like the difference between DVD and HD-DVD, and are will wait for something significant, like 4320p or above. That will be PS5 at the least, which is going to be software installed on decent home computer. Just to let you all know.

@jobs: Whether it will be soon or not is not the thing being debated. In fact, it’s release date is more of a speculative matter than anything else until Sony officials state the date themselves. The real discussion is whether or not the system will be able to handle a level of hi-definition that would practically not be noticed by the common people.

In my opinion, it’d be just stupid to spend money on such a thing. It might cost really expensive to develop the GPU for that. Also, optical media can only go so far… same goes for HDDs. A PS3 with two-to-four times the power re-branded as a PS4 with some new features (like better and more active motion sensing for instance or a PSP-like controller), which is actually a much more feasible target. Just saying though…

I dont think that sony will release the ps4 soon, they need to recover the money they lose on ps3 first.

there is no way the ps4 will have a hi-vision. First of all no tv-set at the moment can project those resulotions. Also through the blue-rays failure (just 8% of the market) is another indication. The wii has showed the way for xbox and ps by outselling masively both of them

What’s the point of this article there’s no way in hell that’s going to happen Sony can’t afford to make another high tech machine, the next Playstation is going to be more of a PS3.5 instead of 4. And at the end of the article you even said so yourself that you don’t think it’s going to happen? who the hell would think it would!?. They’d be insane to think that, I’m not sure if the PS5 would be able to do that.

There was another article showing the PS3 running a screen at 2160p resolution and they needed to hook up 4 PS3’s together just to do that. Running 4320p is like having 8 PS3’s!….it’s not gonna happen that’s just stupid.

@ Jordan Smooth scrolling would be my preference over such a high resolution that could only be seen on huge TV’s. I agree with you there!
