It has been stated that the 6D is moving up in the market when the II comes. So expect it to be in a different price range. 4K might be available only on the next flagship lineup.

The market is moving down in price not up. A7 is $1500. D610 is $1700. The 6DM2 will go down if it moves at all.

4k is on smartphones, multiple Panasonic cameras. It is virtually a requirement for 2015+ cameras and was surprising to some degree that it wasn't on the 7DM2. 
Canon has a video problem because they also have a video camera division. The 5DM2 hammered their video camera division as the original 7D. The original 7D was used in professional applications such as shooting remote sites for Saturday Night Live.

HDMI 2.0 supports 3860p60. 4k TVs will be pretty common within a year. I'm typing this now on a 50" 3860p30 monitor connected to the computer via an HDMI cable.
