Sony is making a 4K PlayStation 4
Sony is working on a new model of the PlayStation 4 that's able to output 4K graphics for games.Reports hearing about the PlayStation 4 upgrade from various developers, who Sony has briefed on the ideas. It's not mentioned when the up-graded PlayStation will be prepared or how it would be marketed, but the effects is that Sony could, possibly in the following year or so, start selling a 4K-suitable PlayStation with the current PS4.
"Mid-pattern gaming console up levels could become the regular"
A 4K PlayStation would need more powerful graphics features than the present PS4 has.The upgraded model, which developers seem to be informally recommending o as PS4.5, involves both an up-graded processor and GPU. Both would be important to output PS4 games at 4K resolution, which needs much more electricity than it takes to push a game out at 1080p. (The present PS4 supports 4K photos and videos, but not games.)
However updating a gaming console mid-pattern is an unusual(but not completely unheard of) move, it would make a lot of sense in this case. TV places are presently shifting to 4K — more inexpensive4 K sets are starting to make their way on the market, and we're not too many years away from most new designs getting 4K. Moreover, gaming console designers may be moving away from the idea of nearly decade-long hardware periods. Microsoft has already advised that the Xbox One could get hardware updates, so it's not awfully amazing to hear that Sony is taking the same method.
