        You do realize that all modern support upscaled 4k at 120hz right and the steam machine is directly competeing with these console.

        Most people don’t have a tv capable of outputting this but newer tvs do support higher frame rates for reasons like high frame rate gaming

        Hdmi 2.1 will be important for future proofing

          Yes, very expensive high end ones that very few people are buying. And always will, because they’re niche products.
