I doubt there will be any significant number of 4k native games on next gen consoles, hell I think 720p games will be more common than 4k. But I think it's very likely both Orbis and Durango will include dedicated scalers capable of scaling everything to 4k just like the X360 does for 1080p output. Scaling from 1080p to 4K on 4K TVs apparently looks amazing and much better than 480p to 720/1080p as scaler algorithms have improved and there is far more base data to work with.

If the Nvidia Shield can output 1080p video you can be sure as hell that both next gen consoles will. these consoles will be designed to be around in 2020 and likely far beyond after all.

Any low-end gpu can output in 4k... they just don't do that because the HDMI limitation (the version used in GPUs)... for example the GTX 620 can output in 4k resolutions.

Of course the GTX 620 have just enough power to output videos or upscalle to 4k resolutions... but a GTX 680 have enogh power to render a game in 4k in 3D (almost 8k render).

Battlefield 3 in 4k running in a single GTX 680.


We will see games in 4k for sure.
