Well for small, low hardware overhead indy games sure, just as there were the same type of games on the PS3 that ran 1920x1080x60fps smoothly.

But obviously, we're all thinking about games using engines that push the bar or are at least within a generation of what's considered current. 

For those types of games, I'm not sure why the delusion that $400 worth of hardware will accomplish what several times that in independently sourced off the shelf PC hardware will cost persists for any other reasons than wishful thinking or a fundamental lack of understanding of the amount of processing power required for that level of performance. I don't even think $400 worth of video card alone can be considered 4k capable for high end game engines. 

Nope. Even with a single GTX 1080 ($600+) you cant do 4k @ a rock solid 30 fps without dropping your settings in some games. No way a $400 console is gonna be able to pull it off. I think were still a Generation of Video cards away from 4k @ a rock solid 60 FPS with high to ultra settings. And even then were gonna be talking about the highest end GPUs aka Volta Titan or the amd equivilent.

It will for JRPG type games and indies, the PS3 could even run games like Ridge Racer 7 in 1080p 60fps so hes correct what hes saying
