I hope Microsoft is watching this closely. They need to make 1080p/60 fps with the equivalent of PC high-ultra settings the target for Scorpio, not 4K. If some developers want to implement a 4K mode on Scorpio, MS should let them, but only after they've made a 1080p, 60 fps mode.

The problem is 4K is such a buzz word these days and so much better in PR and marketing terms, Imagine all the adverts saying 1080p/60 FPS instead of just 4K most poeple would be like "wtf is that" where as soon as they hear 4K mentioned everyone goes crazy about it.

This is true.

To get a notable upgrade in graphics and meet solid 4K/60, we need something north of 12TF, and ideally ~15+. 4TF is far too weak, and even 6TF is extremely underwhelming, because it means that the extra resources will go towards resolution rather than better lighting/ultra textures/etc in most cases.

At least 4K should cap out for a while. I don't see people dumping their 4K TVs in a few years, hell most people are still on 1080P.

We will have to wait until PS5 and whatever the next Xbox is past Scorpio for more than simply up-rezzed gen8 games. And they will need to cut the old hardware off in order to make that happen.
