OdinHades said: No shit, Sherlock! The magic word is upscaling. Nowhere near native 4K, but that doesn't stop Sony from marketing the shit out of it. Just like Microsoft did in the 360 days. Remember how EVERY 360 game box said 1080p on the back? This will be quite similar. |
UHDTV's already internally upscale/upconvert 1080P content to 2160P resolution though, otherwise you would be viewing the image at a 1/4 of the size of the TV. The difference in detail is not much different from viewing the 1080P content on a 1080P screen. So I don't see this helping at all. In theory, all PS4/Xbox1/Wii U games run on 4K TVs right now and are indeed upscaled to 4k.

The upscaler on the PS4K would be leagues ahead of anything that is available on tvs.
The consensus is pretty much that neither console will play native 4k games so it's not just your opinion.
With current available pc hardware it's impossible to make a 4k machine in a console size. A gtx 980 ti is like 1/2 the size of a ps4 but can't run all games at 4k
The best we can expect are:
-downsampling from a higher than 1080p res(think 1200p, 1440p) so image is sharper than native 1080p
-upscale to 4k
-higher IQ, higher settings (up'd performance sliders like pc)
-60fps
