Does Xbox One or Ps4 need component video?

I dont think there is any need for component video on the next-gen consoles. Pretty much all tv's made now have hdmi. 

Theres always people who plug that yellow cable into their expensive hdtv. So i'll be glad them days are over. 

Do you think Ps4 and Xbox One need component cable?

I don't think they need it. 

However, an adapter sold separately might suit some luddites. 

No, I don't think so. There has to come a time where people have to move on and things have to stop being supported. People have had a long time to get into 1080p, and with 4K tv's coming, 720p tv's will slowly be ruled out.

Does it really matter?  

Considering the cost of putting the component video output on the console is so marginal it won't have any effect on the retail price then I'd say the more video options the better!  

it should have an AV out however it better come with a HDMI cable!

Hope not. Everyone should have upgraded their TV's by now.

Component MIA.  Worst case scenario, the little guy will bail you out.

Although a little pricey, you could buy something like this. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00BJR36L8/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?qid=1370315437&sr=8-3=SL75Murderstyle75

That's only for devices that support analog over HDMI.

No, People should get HDTV's. They are so cheap these days there's no good excuse other then being completely broke, in which case why would you be buying a new console.

[QUOTE="godzillavskong"][QUOTE="timbers_WSU"] All of my TV's have at least 2 HDMI slots in them but I recall my first one only had one. And I don't think I have ever seen a splitter for HDMI's? It would suck to have to unplug your cable box or something just to play games.timbers_WSU

This is the one I bought (even comes with a remote).

[QUOTE="timbers_WSU"][QUOTE="godzillavskong"] They make a HDMI switch, which has a HDMI in and several HDMI outs. I use one, simply because I have my led on the wall, and it was easier for me to use the switch. I actually auto switches to whichever source is turned on. I like it. Cost under $20 too.catfishmoon23

CRT TVs are so dead now... no need for component

for developing countries, perhaps

This, no point in having the component these days. A few odd ones with no HDTV can easily get an adapter.

At this point, I don't think it's necessary - at least out of the box. A separate adapter could be sold for the minority that may need it.

Component can stay since it can be easily up-scaled to 1080i. So it's relatively still useful. It's COMPOSITE that I wish that would drop dead. It is beyond atrocious in terms of quality these days. And what the hell ever happened to S-Video anyways?

What I fail to understand is... why did the market kill off S-Video (Which is the middle of the bunch in terms of visual quality), yet decide to keep the shitty composite video in tact?

For the record, VGA can also stay since it can also do 1080 without issue.

No, I don't think so. There has to come a time where people have to move on and things have to stop being supported. People have had a long time to get into 1080p, and with 4K tv's coming, 720p tv's will slowly be ruled out.

by whos standards are we going on here? WHy do you HOPE not? just out of meanness and lack of care just because you have hdmi? Maybe there are people totally happy with composite and component? I am..I couldnt care less about a few extra lines of resolution here and there..Dont be selfcentered and think that just because you think everyone should have moved on..that its how it is..Life done work that way bud.

[QUOTE="Novotine"][QUOTE="Murderstyle75"] Unless your HDTV is not the only thing you plug your console into. One example would be the A/V system in my minivan which only supports standard A/V cables. Another example would be a person who travels a lot such as for work and games a lot in hotel rooms.Murderstyle75

dumbest quote of the day..you must not have kids yet there skippy..or friends or family..ive had 4 minivans and everything in between..Vans are my favorite vehicle to be quite honest..

Needed for most? no

needed for some? yes

Although I personally do not understand it, some people just love their old tv's. There was a couple people in the main page discussions that said tey would not get an X1 because of this... lol

It probably will not be a big deal, but it is an excuse for some people no matter how petty and ignorant it may seem :P

Just about everything I own is HD... heh

They should support it, yeah.  If up until less than a year ago consoles were shipped with old as dirt composite, they should still support component...

They'll ship with HDMI though.

Component is HD. You're thinking of Composite.

Since my TV is a 9 year old beast of an HD CRT, it only has one HDMI port so I use Component to hook up my Wii U. That and the Wii U has limited RGB range over HDMI for some reason. I suppose I could just get a splitter though.

kind of generalizing that arent you? What if someone has a tv they just like? SOME people dont believe in jumping on the next "big thing" just because some others do. think about that..

ALSO I was running a HD projector throwing a 110" image using composite,component,Svideo and VGA..ALL images looked stellar and people were blown away. You dont have to just jump on new tech for the sake of it..if it wasnt for oldtech you wouldnt have new tech..should always appreciate where we came from..
