Sony: 4K movie support 'under consideration' for PS4

Sony has said that 4K movie support is "in consideration" for PS4.
This would indicate that PS4 owners will not be able to play existing (albeit a limited selection of) 4K Blu-ray movies on the system when it launches this November.
"Support for high-resolution 4K output for still images and movie content is in consideration," says Sony in an extensive PS4 system FAQ published today.
"But there are no further details to share at this time," it adds. "The PS4 system does not currently support 4K output for games," it goes on to confirm.
4K is a form of 'ultra HD' generally considered to refer to a resolution of 3840 × 2160 - four times the resolution of conventional 'full HD' 1080p TVs (1920 x 1080).
The firm also clarifies that, while the machine is capable of 3D gameplay, none of its launch titles will offer support for stereoscopic 3D.

Sony has confirmed a PS4 launch date of November 15 in US and November 29 in Europe and Latin America.
The final confirmed PS4 launch lineup list is here.
