Sony working on “PS4.5″ with an upgraded GPU and 4K support
This is according to developers who told Kotaku at GDC a PS4 console with increased graphical power, dubbed “PlayStation 4.5″, was currently in the works.
It will purportedly have more processing power to support 4K and to better enhance the PlayStation VR game experience – all thanks to an upgraded GPU.
Various verified development sources spoke to more than one writer at Kotaku regarding “PS4.5″ and while some of the details were “vague”, once source said the console felt “exploratory” and may not arrive this year.
It was also rumored that Sony met with developers at GDC this week to discuss the console, and some developers where even overheard talking about PS4.5 on the show floor to one another.
When reached for comment, a Sony spokesperson told Kotaku it doesn’t comment on rumors and speculation.
At present, PS4 “outputs games at a max resolution of 1920×1080 pixels when playing games, whereas 4K outputs at 4096×2160 pixels,” explained Gematsu.
So while the current console doesn’t support 4K resolution, it does support 4K for videos and photos.
We’ll keep you up-to-date on this as more information becomes available.

If they're planning on trying to get 4k on a console, the price may jump from the general consumer's comfort level.

As said below, once they can Master full HD @60FPS then they can start working on 4K.

The current PS4 can barely handle 1080p 30fps, so I highly doubt they'll achieve a decent framerate at 4k res
