But it doesn't matter, remember? For the last 3 years 900p hasn't been a problem and I can see no reason why this pushed narrative is going to change just because it now suits. Plus Sony CAN advertise 'native 4K' on certain games. With a years head start and 4K/HDR, the Scorpio will struggle to convince anyone outside of the internet that it's worth buying over the PS4pro.

It matters to the same people who made 1080p matter above 900p.  I believe the pro will sell fine but that does not mean the scorpio will not also sell if MS has the games and a decent price point.  If people like the games MS has then they will also purchase the Scorpio or upgrade their existing X1.  

The whole point of MS pushing the specs and resolution is in the hope of stealing PS4 owners back. That's what I'm addressing here.

since when did Sony forcing 3rd-party to develop their games 4k a must??

i thought just at least 1080p a must?

The Scorpio is being hyped as a 4k gaming console but probably it isn't yet enough for 4k like last gen wasn't ready for 1080p. What comes to mind is, if ms own studios are going for native 4k as a set rule, those games are going to suffer is other areas...

I believe MS will get a portion of their base back because those people still enjoy the games that MS make.  They may also get the people who majority play 3rd party games if they can prove an advantage in performance and image quality over the PS4 pro.  Last but not least, probably CES or E3 we probably will see MS VR effort.  If MS can prove the scorpio does better within that area as well this could also be an advantage.  

The thing is, there is a lot of time for MS and Sony to screw up or execute successfully. Its in MS best interest to keep drumming up every advantage no matter how slight it is to show a difference between their offerings and Sony.  Successful marketing will be how MS can relay that info to your average consumer.

I look forward to 1st party MS titles flexing their 4K HDR muscles on my 65"....plus you know Bethesda's next bigs (ElderScrolls, Wolfenstein, etc...) will very likely be running 4K native on Scorpio....and that's just a cool experience to see that coming from a console.

I'm of the mindset that if its a great experience for couch gaming, i would rather invest into that ecosystem for a few years than to dump $650 into a graphics card that has trouble hitting 4k 60fps after a few releases. Chasing that high end has hit a wall for me, no more bending over for AMD and Nvidias throttling of their drivers and being sold on multi cards to end up getting  shoddy multi card support. 

PC needs to take that next step of excitement now. We need a 4K Ultrawide Gsync...5K monitor or something...and none of that sounds that exciting right now due to the ridiculous cost of 2 yr turnover hardware

Yea, top of the line PS4 graphics should have no problem running 4K on the PS5.  However, I fully expect devs to take advantage of Sony's checkerboard tech to push the graphics even more.

Good that there not forcing Devs to reach 4K. This gives them a chance to have bigger worlds, better FPS, ect and the games will still look great because of the six teraflops.

I'm hoping that in the future, all Scorpio games come with a 1080p/60 fps/ultra settings option. I'm glad he is pointing out that fps is still a thing too. Resolution doesn't have to be the end all of console power.

I also hope that this means improved BC with 360 games too.
