Hmm, that would be an interesting topic to have. At 720p/60fps MK8 isn't really pushing the WiiU much, but at 1080p/60fps i imagine it would be hitting its upper limits. So if, for the sake of simplicity, we say that MK8 at 1080p/60fps is the WiiU's limit, then a properly optimized PS4 most likely could pull off 4k/60fps. It's about a 4 times jump, which is less that the current theoretical difference between the WiiU and PS4.

Would be completely pointless though, seeing as almost no one owns a 4k tv :p They could down-sample it to 1080p though, you couldn't get much better 1080p IQ than that :D


PS4 can't even output 4k60. But looking at how badly games currently scale (just look at PC benchmarks at 4k) I doubt PS4 could pull it off.

I should have mentioned i was speaking from the perspective of linear resources requirements. Things obviously aren't quite that simple in reality (it assumes perfect conditions, which of course would require a fully optimized PS4/WiiU as well as 4k scaling properly).

I was talking less about the PS4 itself and more about the theoretical possibilities of the hardware relative to requirements of the task. Kind of like saying hardware equivalent in power to the PS2's could play pong in 1080p, even if the console itself couldn't.
