The upscaling tech did seem very impressive. As DF said, the PS4Pro GPU is punching above its weight class.

Isn't this similar to the techniques MS used on the XBox One and took a lot of shit for? 

I seem to recall a lot of "the feel of 1080p" jokes. 

I don't doubt that it looks better than 1080p, but this is not native 4K. 

I think Sony should have just waited to release this and gotten a proper upgrade and 4K Blu-Ray and all that so that it was a proper 4K device, as is, it's very compromised, and really what's the point? PS4 Slim was going to do fine this holiday season. There was no urgent need to release this. 

the only GPUs that can play 4K native at solid framerates without sacficing graphical detail are the GTX 1080 and Titan X... a 800 dollar and 1000+ GPU. Its going to be 2-3 years before 4K GPUs are in the mass market range (150-250). By that point they would have just waited til PS5. 

For instance I just picked up a RX 480 8 GB, its a 250 dollar GPU that kills it at 1080, can do 1440p in many games, but not the newest. Next year we may see a true 1440p card come down into the 200s (1070 is the 1440p card this gen of GPUs, nails 1440p, can do 4k, but only if you are willing to sacrifice other things). So like I said it will be a minimum of 2 years probably 3 years before we see 4K cards in the 200 dollar range. We still need to get 1440p cards there...
