Prediction: PS5 will run at 4k

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.

15tflops is too little for 4K? really? r9 295x2 has 11.5 tflops. (dual gpu) and the r9 295x2 tears 4k. Easily enough for 4k 30fps and 40k 60fps with PC optimisation, let alone console optimisation. 15tflops would be easily enough to handle 4k.
