It would boost sales by about 500 worldwide; no where near enough to make any difference.

The argument is even more viable now though.

Hardly anyone would be hard pressed to make that decision; they would choose 1080, obviously. It would be far cheaper and for most people 4k will be useless for many years - I've only just got an HD television this year, I'm not going to get 4k for at least another 5.

No, just no. Sony and Microsoft make huge losses on their consoles already (which is why you're saying they are better at performance per dollar) without the extra cost of putting 4k in them. To be console price with 4k they'd be about a half to a third of manufacturing price. Also, hardly any people will buy the…

Dude, this generation's games aren't even 1080 (except about 5), next gen's aren't going to be 4k. They need to focus on getting every game 1080p native, with consistently high frame rates and no screen tear or other problems before they even consider 4k. If microsoft waited for 4k to be used, even upscaled, every…

It's not viable, economically. Microsoft would lose even more money per unit on it and people wouldn't be able to afford it. Yes, Sony but a Blu Ray player in the PS3 before it was mainstream, but that's only because they invented it and owned the rights to it., so it didn't cost them too much more. If microsoft had…

You are the biggest fucking moron ever... I've read extensively about DRM and can't see any negative aspects to it at all. It is extremely ignorant of you to say that most gamers aren't online - of course they are you idiot. SimCity's launch was unfortunate, but multiplayer based games like COD have millions of…

How awfully narrow minded and hypocritical you are. You said that just because the 360 sold well doesn't mean that the 720 will and then you went on to say that because you didn't like the 360 you won't buy the 720. If we follow the logic of your second point then anyone who liked the 360 WILL, in fact, buy the next…

Where did everyone get DRM from? In none of the articles I've read has it mentioned anywhere about DRM, and who cares anyway - business is business, get over yourselves. I bet you're the same people who don't want to fill out a census, because "the government will use the information against you", (they, also, set up…

Why would being always online mean people don't buy it. You have to be living in the middle of nowhere to not have a connection. The notion that people won't buy it is preposterous.

If I tried that way I'd forget to change the controls and every time I tried to go forward I'd end up going sideways. It would be well annoying.

Little bit unnecessarily racist. Do you think it's because you know deep down that a controller is obviously superior due to it being designed for that exact purpose, whereas a keyboard isn't?

Lol. I haven't heard of that one, I'll ask my girlfriend if she's read that article. Don't worry I am joking ... I don't have a girlfriend.

I love the two Russian stereotypes here.

This is true, but then it's a computer. That's what I do work and boring stuff and, well, everything else on. When I want to relax I don't want my essay sneering at me in the background whilst my lecture notes are strewn in front of me. I want to head to the living room, sit and relax on a nice soft sofa, not stuck…

It is not more ergonomic. Controllers are designed primarily for 2 things; ergonomics and function, a keyboard is not.

If I go and put it on the wiki page will you believe it's coming to PC. Anyone can change a wiki page; just because something's on there, or not on there, doesn't mean it's true. Most of the time they are accurate, but this doesn't mean GTA V won't be on PC.

You do realise that to notice the difference from 1080 and 4k you'd have to be sitting uncomfortably close to a very large screen. If we assume you sit 50cm away from the screen and the eye's resolving power is to one sixtieth of a degree then that is ~ 0.00015. So a pixel will be 2.12 x 10^-8 m^2. Number of pixels…

Dude, why are you still posting. Many people have explained why it won't work, stop being so arrogant and narrow-minded and accept it.

How could it possibly succeed, you have basically answered that question in your second paragraph? We would have no doctors if being a receptionist paid the same, because it's easier, less stressful, requires less work and less training.
