They're coming up to the time that they could do a 'slim' edition, and maybe they want to go all in and build in something to help support the PSVR? I don't see that being the best move either, there's no advantage to increasing your hardware cost inherently.
The only way I could see 4k in games being feasible would be if AMD's new architecture being amazing to make it the same price as a launch PS4 to get a mid range GPU in there again. Nvidia is claiming that their next chip Pascal has 2x the performance at every price level so maybe?

If developers are just being briefed and they don't have dev kits, I'm guessing we'd be 2 years away at the earliest. if AMD's new chips aren't good enough, I could see it still being billed as a 4k device as it outputs in 4k and plays UHD blu rays, but games just run somewhere between 1080p and 4k depending on graphical quality and just upscales.
