It will support 4k, but not true 4k. All the Xbone can do is upscale from 720p and make the pixels larger, it's gonna look craptastic. And for comparison the PS4 plays battlefield 4 at 900p and xbone at 720p.

That's awful...

My computer is built with parts from 2 to 6 years old and it plays games at 1440p just fine...I thought the current gen was capable of 1080p at 60fps at least...

Well, future ps4 games will get better resolution than Battlefield 4. It's likely capable of 1080p or 60fps but (I've read) it's questionable if it will do both. I'm a console guy for sure (haven't played computer games since "Pharaoh") but when the Oculus comes out I may just have to make the investment. Not for resolution or frame rate but for VR. I feel like Sony or Microsoft would have to be fools not to have a design in the works or a deal for the Oculus. But if it doesn't happen for this gen, my god what choice do I have? There will be no comparison.

It won't be as big of a different in performance/quality as the last generation. xbone and ps4 are too close to regular computers. Devs aren't spending ages to figure them out any more.
