I had a public chat with NintendoReport / Eddy Ray and normally I wouldn't do this, but I am posting it here because it touches on games and speculation on the PS4k. Hope he doesn't mind

{Thinking about getting a PS4k. Should I?}
Eddy Ray
(Snip) what kinda content is there for you to consume in 4k.. that you will want?
Shane
games
Eddy Ray
i dont think games are gonna be 4k though. that would be an expensive machine
Eddy Ray
4k will be media
Shane
Actually, the ps4k will play 4k games. Even if by upscaling
Shane
Mark my words, if it's real
Eddy Ray
i guess time will tell, i dont see what kind of benefit that would be though.. upscaling to 4k is a lot different then going from 720 to say 1080
Eddy Ray
thats 4 times as many pixels
Shane
Here's the thing. They could overclock the CPU on the ps4, and get a huge performance improvement, while costing 10 more bucks for cherry picked chips. Then we haven't even gotten into the GPU
Eddy Ray
still doesnt match up to say a pc costing say a grand and still not being good enough for 4k gaming
Eddy Ray
maybe indie games but then its kinda silly like making shovel knight 1080p
Shane
Here's what will happen though. Games will be like 3k and scale to 4, unless we are talking rocket league. And the ps4k will be a 500 buck machine with upgraded GPU. We will see though. The news reports agree with me but when have they ever been right?
Shane
rocket league could be 4k
Eddy Ray
i guess we will see soon. i really think the upgraded components is suppose to compliment the PSVR and helping devs push the graphics there
Eddy Ray
most pc video cards are like 600 bucks or more if you really want to do good 4k gaming
Shane
You actually make some pretty good points as well. Lol
Eddy Ray
but who knows... if it really is for 4kgaming, then it may be a bit of a turn off for people knowing they need to get a 4k tv as well... so now a new console and a new tv (as most dont have 4k displays yet) .. if the ps4k is seen as an upgrade for current games giving more consistent performance, for say all games 1080p 60fps, also to benefit psvr and add 4k media output for consumption, that might be a better seller for the masses
