They could do 2560x1440 native with upscaling to 4k. Heck, my budget TV has 4K upscaling already (and MS is investing millions to convince people that 900p and 1080p are the same... so 1440-2080 probably would't be that hard of a sell.

It is a hard sell being that the top reason people buy a PS4 is because of 'higher resolution'.

1440p upscaling is pointless, they'll probably go 4k 30fps, and have a 980 (maybe a little higher like Fury X) equivalent in 2019 for the PS5.

That is too low for next gen. Fury X is 8.6TFLOPS card (that's just ~4.5x PS4), in GCN FLOPS (nVidia performs about the same with much less 'Maxwell' FLOPS), that manages barely above 30fps in 4K in most demanding games - I don't think anyone would be happy to see games looking the same as now, just in 4K.

Most likely scenario for 2019 is some 15TFLOPS, but even that is hardly enough for native 4K, once 1080p to 4K resolution penalty is taken into account and necessity to amaze audience with 'moah graphix' compared to 8th gen.

I mean, they could go with native 4K even with that, but forums will be burning with 'diminishing returns' threads.

My bet for around 15TFLOPS is mostly 1920x2160 to 2560x2160 resolutions.
