Taken right from Andrew House:

"If you are a person who’s just purchased a 4K television, maybe there’s not that much content around right now, so there’s something interesting about games being able to fill that gap and offer that experience. Those are the fundamentals of Neo."

Some members on here are under the notion that the PS4 Neo is just to help games get to a full 1080P resolution at 60 frames per second but it seems abundantly clear that a 4k(2160P) resolution is the primary focus and goal of the Neo. Expect a very expensive console(same applies to the Scorpio....).

If the rumors are true and the end product is a gpu with 4.4 TF... Good luck with that unless he means upscaling. Even the scorpio will stuggle with Native 4k

I agree. Not sure how they will manage native 4k without the console being over $1,000US lol. Even an amazing external upscaler like the XRGB mini costs $300US to purchase for consumers and that unit does NOT upscale past 1080P.

If Sony forces developers to make their games 4k30 instead of 1080p60 just for bragging rights I will hate them even more.

As someone who has no intention of owning a 4K television until they're like $300, and then only when my current televisions die, how bad will upscaled 4K look on 4K sets? I don't actually care about resolution, I'm just curious.

because all games will be upscaled and imagine many will manage 1440p

Really depends on the TV. Bravia's are known to have excellent upscaling engines, they make my PS2 games look amazing when connected via component cables. A $300 4K TV would not have a good upscaling engine though hehe.

If he's talking native 4K gaming then the information we say has to be wrong. Either that, or they are beefing up Neo because there is no way in hell they could do native 4K with the power we've seen. Even Scorpio isn't powerful enough to do native 4K.

Many TV's have problems with irregular resolutions like 1440P.... Some 4k TVs don't even output 1440P natively...

Those members notions are based on the specs we are currently expecting from the Neo. It could turn out those leaks are entirely wrong, or they're right and Sony finds as a way to drastically change the Neo's design before launch, but as it currently stands the Neo isn't strong enough for 4k to be "the primary focus". Hell, even the Scorpio is likely to miss its 4k target pretty often, and that's currently expected to have a GPU 30%~ stronger.

Until we actually see the Neo and Scorpio in action, i'd say it's reasonable to take anything Sony or MS say with a pinch of salt.
