Yes, and what does that mean?

Search this under Google:

Look at first results..grin

I only get listings for BDXL disks, not sure what leap you're trying to make here?

Take a look at a 6x BDXL pioneer drive

I see a 6x BDXL drive, which I still think is too slow at 6x.
(for the spec anyway, I doubt any UHD disks actually go up to 128mps for now)

Perhaps Sony are waiting it out, yet they didn't waste a lot of time enabling 3D blu-ray playback on the ps3. If they could, what's stopping them from enabling 4K UHD playback on all ps4 like HDR.

Most Likely, licence's and on top of that it could very well be a ROM 4 hybrid Data read only past the 2nd layer on up! Also with looking to remain @Profit on the Hardware itself, I doubt very much they want to loose money on a razor thin Margin for the systems.

 

It's far cheaper to use the HDMi dedicated Scaler. To upscale the regular BR- To 4K
