There are two major issues with that... 1) The vast majority of people do not have 4K TVs, and the difference between 1080 super-sampled images are only subtle, regardless how blown out in comparisons. 2) Diminishing returns to image quality means a jump from 720 to 1080p implies a much greater visual impact than from 1080 to 4K even though technically it would imply the other way around. Additionally, with the given installed user-base, most third party games will be based on playstation platforms and / or will be scalable around a stable performance (30 or 60 fps with dynamic scaling). |
Actually you would notice a much bigger difference going from 1080p to 4k because its not just the jump to 4k that has been improved. The help with HDR + 4k makes it a giant leap. Only difference between 720p and 1080p is pixels. These days its a lot more than pixels, the big jump in colour and HDR is the icing on this delicious cake..
Diminishing returns would only work if we are only talking about pixels.
