I also wonder if there will be a Android Channel. If third parties don't want to be on NX, then they will be forced to be on NX via proxy.
So according to Eurogamers sources the NX is basically the hybrid console people have talked about for years.

It's a handheld that can be docked to the TV. If true that would certainly be a ballsy move on Nintendo's part. I guess they feel that having only one system to develop for will outdo the risk of losing 2 different forms of revenue from handheld and home console.
Of course on the other hand if true this would make Breath of the Wild even bigger then ever. Being able to play something like that on your TV and then taking it to work or wherever else can be a huge selling point. Basically a way more successful version of what Sony tried with the PSP/Vita since the NX is just one system so it's easier to advertise.
Plus this also gives Nintendo a very good reason to tell the people who're angry their no female Link, why they shouldn't. If this Link is indeed a previous Link, then he kind of has to be a man since the previous Link was a man as well.
To answer the original question is no, not for games. System requirements for 4K is really high. There is no way you can build a box that doesn't cost 5K to play 4K games. Monster PCs struggle with 4K and forget single card solutions. It will at best be a 1080p image on a 4K display with one or the other doing the scaling.
I highly doubt it. Nintendo unjustifiably failed to support HD, and they actually would be justified in not supporting 4K. Granted, you could make an argument that there's some overlap in the 4K and hardcore gaming markets ("techies" with high disposable income) but that's still not a large market. Then you have people with 4K sets that are starved by 4K content, but how big that market? Are they interested in a dedicated gaming machine? How does Nintendo win those people over?
Too much cost, too many questionables for NX to support 4K.
