About Ultra HD Blu-ray specifically:
Masayasu Ito, who leads hardware engineering/operation for Sony Interactive Entertainment/PlayStation, said last year that it's not possible without updated hardware.
Microsoft's Yusuf Mehdi said in 2013 that the Xbox One would support 4K Blu-ray discs, but seeing as how that statement was made years ago and hasn't really been reiterated by anyone at MS since, I wouldn't put much stock into it.
That's not to say that there definitively won't be Ultra HD Blu-ray playback, but if there will be, Microsoft and Sony haven't said so.
