Now what does this hardware scaler mean for PlayStation 4? Sony’s PlayStation 4 is capable of running games with highest visuals on native 1080p. With Sony’s 4K TVs already hitting the markets, this hardware scaler can upscale a native 1080p image to a 4K resolution to be displayed on those 4K resolution TVs.
Recently with The Ultimate FAQ for the PlayStation 4 released it caused a mixed confusion amongst gamers that there will be no MP3 or DLNA support with the PlayStation 4. Shuhei Yoshida again on twitter told that he had a long chat with the Dev team of the PlayStation 4 regarding the matter and was happy to know that many people use and like the PlayStation 3’s media features.
Had a very good discussion w the PS4 Dev team today. We're happy & appreciative to learn so many people use and like PS3's media features.

He then hinted that a new update will bring back the functionality of playing MP3s and more. This update is most likely to be the second update for the PlayStation 4 as the first update, titled 1.50 System Update, is a Day One update for the PlayStation 4 which brings a lot of functionality like Online Multiplayer, Second Screen, Remote Play and more.
PlayStation 4 is just two weeks away from launch and the hype for the console is never ending. Learning from their previous mistakes, Sony is stepping in the right direction with their next-generation console, the PlayStation 4.
