I think you are wrong here. It can and will do most games at 4k. Not at 4k ultra settings as you would see on the PC but at least at 4k base PS4 settings with a little better stuff here and there.

Something to take into consideration. taking something running at 1080p on the PS4 (for instance) to 4k doesn't mean you just multiply everything by 4. Speaking loosely, lets say it takes the PS4s GPU 800GF to darw all the geometry in each frame and uses 1TF for everything else. The part that handles the geometry doesn't multiply by 4 too, the everything else part does. And even at that not everything in that part scales up by 4 either.

And don't forget console overhead is very different from what you see in the PC space. So is how console games are optimized.
