Yes, and No.
The PS4 doesn't use Sata III, and so never hits the full potential of using a SSD. To be honest, I don't even know if the ps4 would even hit full potential of a 10k RPM mechanical drive. In my opinion, a 7200RPM SSHD is the best option for the current PS4.
The Gen 2 (3 if you consider the 1200 gen 2) PS4 better have SATA III man...

Is that the one that came with battlefront? And if so, you're saying they will have even better performance gains?
i would assume as a whole, no matter what console, an SSD would improve performance in every aspect to at least some degree, as far as anything related to loading goes which includes visual performance gains such as faster texture loading, perhaps an ever so slightly better fps avg, and so on.

SATA II (revision 2.x) interface, formally known as SATA 3Gb/s, is a second generation SATA interface running at 3.0 Gb/s. The bandwidth throughput, which is supported by the interface, is up to 300MB/s.
SATA III (revision 3.x) interface, formally known as SATA 6Gb/s, is a third generation SATA interface running at 6.0Gb/s. The bandwidth throughput, which is supported by the interface, is up to 600MB/s. This interface is backwards compatible with SATA 3 Gb/s interface.

A 5400RPM (stock hard drive) doesn't come come to maxing out Sata II, but a SSD is DRASTICALLY throttled by it. To answer your question, a SSD WILL see improved performance yes. But the throughput cap means you are only getting a fraction of the value for the cost.
A 1TB SSD is ~$294.06

** I personally have the 1TB SSHD that i swapped out 2 months after launch. I saw drastic improvements with just the SSHD -and yes a SSD would have been better, but a 1TB SSD was over $400 at the time.
