I know for the the PS4 has the ahrdware to support 4K output (I am not sure if it's 30 or 60hz however)... There is at least one developper who tester their game on the dev kit a while ago, it was the PS4 port of Trine if I am correct.

I believe MS made similar claims before the release of their machine.

Basically, they both said 4K would be supported, for movies and other media types, but not for games... however that may change, but I doubt it's relevant on the XB1.

Honestly, for games with simple graphics it should be possible and it would look really clean, that would give us a real reason to get 4K TVs, but I would rather Sony release a 4K PS4 (with a faster GPU and faster memory).

Thank you.

PS4 for sure is capable of 4K for all mediums. As you said, the Trine devs stated that they could run at 4K/30fps per this artical:

I honestly don't get why Sony is holding back 4K on PS4. It is only hurting them. They could be selling and renting 4K movies to every 4K consumer on the market via Playstation Video. Instead they are again letting everyone take the spotlight on somthing that they have had for years, but refuse to release to the public.
