Now Sony’s Mark Cerny, the lead architect on the PlayStation 4 hardware, explains why 4K gaming isn’t feasible just yet.


Speaking to the Japanese press about the PlayStation 4 hardware, Cerny said that he’s “personally very interested in 4K”, but that the technology is still new and requires lots of horsepwer to run. Cerny explained in simple terms why there isn’t 4K gaming on the PlayStation 4:

“If we consider purely memory bandwidth, with 4K, securing 2 displays worth of display buffer requires 10GB/sec. That just for simply displaying. This is our simple answer for why we’re focusing on just the Full HD experience.”



By “full HD”, Cerny is talking about 1080p which PlayStation 4 games will support (what we’ve seen so far). There are only a handful of 4K television sets available, and they retail for many thousands of dollars. 4K gaming and 4K movies are still many years away, as other technology components need to catch up to the massive resolution of these displays.


Sony said last month that the You must login or register to view this content. and downloads, but added that a 4K movie can easily top 100 GB in size.

we don't need 4K
04-15-2013, 04:59 AM #19
I reckon by the end of next year they will have cracked 4K and we will be able to play it just like nowadays with 720p & 1080p technology is being developed faster and faster nowadays because of the tech we already have :P
