I'd kill for 60fps 4k on anything. Sitting fairly close to a 65" TV it makes a big difference. But no console can even deliver that, I doubt they're going to deliver 8k gaming at any reasonable framerate in a modern AAA game, maybe 8k menus. EDIT: Maybe they're planning to go the way Nvidia is doing now with things like Deep Learning Super Sampling and try to scale up content in intelligent ways. I'm not sure how well that would work with realistically priced console hardware or what kind of results it would produce, maybe someone more familiar can comment on it.

> I'd kill for 60fps 4k on anything. There are a couple games on Xbox One X that support 4k60 - the one people care about is Forza Motorsport 7. From what I can tell, the Xbox One X can actually support 4k60, but I imagine it's a pain in the ass to accomplish and most studios don't bother since it's a niche market.

  You wouldn't think it's really a niche market - most TVs made in the past several years are 4k, prices have become quite cheap, if you're buying a new mid or high end TV today chances are it's a 4k panel. It's just a cost factor more than anything, if you spend $1200+ on video cards you can pull it off on PCs today with most major titles, but that price alone is several times what top of the line consoles run. That price is rapidly dropping, but just isn't there yet. As such, bragging about 8k support on a console that's probably not going to cost that much more seems... unrealistic to say the least.

    I meant they have to optimize the games just for Xbox One X users, which I'd guess is less than 10% of Xbox One owners.

      This is one area that I wish the community was given more control. I don't know of a solution but it would be great if companies of all kinds would just say "We don't think this feature has a worthwhile financial return but if you (the players) want to find a way to make it work, here are the tools to do that." Then, interested parties, like GP, could take up the mantle.
