Digital Foundry is a business and is about internet traffic/sponsors at the end of the day.

They make lots of money stirring up the fanboy wars just as any other gaming site. They know who their most frequent flyer club is and its evident in how they tailor their content. Notice how 900p vs 1080p was such a high point of contention for all these years , then how they selling faux 4k as almost 4K and impressive....to now debating or not whether Scorpio will deliver native 4K without seeing its first game.

DF's opinion of the differences between 900p and 1080p are pretty consistent with how they feel about checkerboard 1800p and native 4k. The only major variation is the context of those resolutions. When the PS4 and X1 released, 1080p was seen as the expected standard. When the X1 often missed that targeted, it was disappointing for many. For the Pro and Scorpio, 4k isn't anything close to the standard yet, so 1800pC is still seen as impressive. A native 4k is just even more impressive, and they have plenty of praise to offer the image quality of the few games that currently hit it. That praise will no doubt be extended to 4k Scorpio titles.

 

But what do you think about Digital Foundry affecting the sales of game consoles with very early spec leaks of hardware that is not even finalized yet. Some people are saying they changed their minds about pre-ordering the Switch because of DF's opinion. No one knows the real specs of the Switch yet.

   

Hey! They got SONY on my amiibo! Wait a minute. Two great gaming tastes that game great together!
