Don partly explained why, next gen is also about a leap forward in visuals.

Forza 7 is 4K/60 fps, which is 8th gen graphics in about 8 million pixels. 8K however is more like 33 million pixels. X1X is not was a 2x increase in GPU power, it's more like 4.5x. PS4 Pro more than doubled the GPU power of PS4 and still doesn't hit 4K in GT Sport.

Even if PS5 had double the GPU power of X1X, we're talking about quadrupling the pixel count of 4K while improving graphics. In comparison achieving 120 FPS actually requires less power. Lastly, Forza 7 has lower GPU requirements than GT Sport. Forza 7 uses less demanding effects than something like GT Sport because it was built for a console with less GPU power.

Lastly, 8K isn't that important or a great use of limited console resources. Making the leap to 120 fps and improving visuals further will appeal to more people than 8K. I think many people using 9th gen consoles will still have 1080p TV. Which is fine because supersampling of 1440p-4K content actually looks really nice on a 1080p screen.

Yeah agree, 8k is good for marketing but in reality it's bad for performance and overall. I rather have 1440p or 4k checkerboard or other sampling method like DLSS . Also agree as well if we talk about increasing fidelity then yes the performance and frame rates will also be reduce . I just hope developer put an option for gamer to choose between graphic fidelity, resolution, or frame rates in the nest gen consoles (like PS4 pro and Xbox One X) . 

I suspect developers will simply opt for 60 fps more often in the 9th gen. The consoles are simply better designed for it. Also, the general consensus is performance is better than 4K.

The 8K and 120 fps is more like a gimmick. I mean that stuff will be used lower spec games mostly. Although 120 fps may be feasible in many games willing to make significant resolution drops. Like 1080p-1440p, depending on the game.
