Microsoft Won’t Require Native 4K on Scorpio Games

Resolution in general. Native 4k will eat up most of the GPU's extra resources. In a world where Microsoft wants to sell the Scorpio next to the PS5 as a cheaper system & have it support next gen games, a 4k mandate will make that highly unpractical for developers. 

Obviously incorrect and lacking a proper technical detailed answer.

Ermm... Ok. 

Until you care to elaborate in a meaningful response, I'm sticking with the widely akcnoweldged notion that higher resolutions are a GPU drain, hence PS4 Pro having 4.2Tflops versus 1.8, and rendering Horizon at 2x1080p instead of native 4k. Hence why several games utilising Pro have improved graphics at 1080p whilst having lower graphical settings in 4k (which isn't even native 4k)
