PlayStation 4k is real, Sony R&D labs working with prototypes now
Following Kotaku’s report about a more powerful, 4K-capable PlayStation 4 earlier this week, Digital Foundry is now reporting that it has “independently established” the console is real.
Furthermore, Sony’s R&D labs already have prototype devices. Digital Foundry says “more than one source” has referred to it as PlayStation 4K, which is in line with the earlier report that suggested the console would have the capability to play games and media in 4K UHD resolution.
The new unit is said to include a more powerful GPU, running on an upgraded version of AMD’s APU technology found in the current model. The new APU could also move from a 28nm chip to a 14nm or 16nm one, matching current industry standards.
Digital Foundry’s lengthy report goes on to extrapolate as to the types of different ways this could go, with regards to power and structure.

Seam a bit of a middle finger to people that have already bought the PS4, 'oh btw heres a new version of the PS4 which can run at 4K, you'll have to pay a lot more and if you've already bought the console which can't run 4K stuff, well... that's too bad'
That's how a lot of things are. Phones, PC parts, next years CoD etc. Every time something new comes out there's something that has to be a selling point. This is no different than Apple releasing a new phone every year.

lolohnoeszszSakiYou're completely missing what they were saying. Theyre saying people do buy things like this. Thats it, no insinuations.lolohnoeszszSakilolohnoeszsz Lol making a console that would cost around $600-750 is **** stupid. I'm almost positive no one would buy that shit.
"making a console that would cost around $600-750 is **** stupid"
>builds $1000 PC
You'd have to be a moron to assume that you need a $1000 PC to run anything at 4k. You can easily get a 970 overclock it and use an i7 and easily run games at 4k.
I never said you needed a $1000 PC to run 4k, I just found it funny how you said that nobody would buy a $750 console when people on PC build $1000 rigs and nobody says anything about that. It's not like gaming at 4k is cheap either, not only would you need a rig capable of running 4K@30 FPS(lol), but you'd need a 4k panel as well. Having a high-end PC to output @ 4k + a panel that supports such a high resolution is easily $1000+.
