I'm still saving myself for the inevitable 'Slim' PS4.

It's not been announced. Netflix believe Sony and MS will release models that support 4k.

I know it's an old article but i thought Sony already said it could output 4K video it will just need an update.

Would be really annoying if you have to buy a new model just for 4K bluray. might as well get a 4K player once they become available.

I'd take anything said before the console's release with a pinch of salt, personally.

If the current models can't do 4K then they could potentially add it to new models but I don't think it's anything to get excited about. 4K Blu-ray seems thin on the ground at the moment (are there even any 4K BDs and players out?) and it should be pretty clear to most people by now that these consoles aren't going to be producing any 4K games.

They wouldn't dare alienate their current ps4 userbase. By releasing a new model that supports 4k, while their old model, and users are left in the dark.

Edit: I'd be bloody furious if that happens and won't ever buy another Sony console.

Umm its about how Netflix believe they will be able to stream 4k content on both systems.

If it can't be added-in via a software update then it'd be their only other option, it'll just be another feature added to a new model revision.

The vast majority of current owners won't be bothered anyway.

I don't know anything but I'm expecting it to be a revision that includes HDMI 2.0 or something. The current HDMI spec maxes out at 4K/24 frames per second. The new one will do 50/60 fps.

Mobius 1 · 6 Feb 2015 at 20:58

I think they've future proofed themselves anyways. And the ps4 is capable of 4k video

I agree it would cause a riot with PS4 users and they would loose way to many fans

MrMoonX · 6 Feb 2015 at 21:16

oh no all those 4k TVs we all have :rolleyes:

snips86x · 6 Feb 2015 at 21:17

Hardly something to get excited about

Netflix predicts

meaningless......

MrMarvelous · 6 Feb 2015 at 21:22

Can I ask why people are getting so upset over this? When they said 4K I assumed it's for photos, would the PS4 be able to handle 4K video playback? If it can, how many of you here actually have 4K capable T.V's in the 1st place.

Spinal2k2 · 6 Feb 2015 at 21:35

lol imagine watching 4K on youtube.

BUFFERING - 0.1 sec of video - BUFFERING - 0.1 sec of video - (hey look at this Advert in 4K that loads faster than the fastest internet connection) back to your 4K video BUFFERING - 0.1 sec of video LOL

n111ck · 6 Feb 2015 at 21:45

A 4k xbone could probably do 1080p consistently though...
