I think that was always going to be the case once the consoles become a PC.

Would be interesting to see if we will see games made to run only on the +.5 version of the consoles. If it doesn't, then it should be seen as a refresh (kind of like the "Slim" edition of some past home consoles). I would expect games to keep the same settings but run at higher frame rate than having 4K games only for the new consoles. I suppose that they could release it as a "VR Edition", but I am not sure if it will be well received by early adopters of the consoles. It's not just the PS3/X360 generation that lasted a long time, but PS2/GC lasted a very long time too.
If it will mean current PS4 games could be run at 60fps I'd be in line waiting for it to come out. Unless it costs >400£. Then I'd just get 1070GTX and forget about consoles.

Maybe, but I can't see the console market buying into hololens. Last time a looked the price was in the thousands range.
Microsoft don't need anything like a quadruple jump in performance to run at those settings. It would be a very strange move not to shoot for 4K when you have the power too.
If anything you mite get netflix @4k or if it could run games @4k it would only be 30fps, anyway new consoles aint going to happen anytime soon

With the current CPU it could run 30FPS at 4K. With double the CPU power it could run locked at 60 assuming enough GPU power.
A jump to 6TFlops would actually be 4.5X the performance. That makes for a real beast of a system in the hands of console developers.
If you have enough grunt to run 30FPS, you have enough to run 30FPS. The resolution you run at is largely irrelevant.
Well you're assuming 30FPS is some kind of hard limit, but thats probably not the case.
Lots of people play around 30FPS. Thats generally considered playable.
