Anyone looking at the specs for this gen since they were first leaked should have been able to determine this.
4k + Raytracing + new and better effects when high end graphics cards were already being pushed by native 4k and even something that's approaching a 2080 equivalent wasn't going to make it happen.
Consoles are a cheaper option because they always will be about compromises.

No? I'm saying that some at Digital Foundry itself don't agree with that statement.
You can compare some videos between the PS4 Pro checkerboard era, and now that DLSS 2.0 is a thing. They don't say that checkerboard 4K is as good as real 4K anymore (DLSS isn't checkerboard, this one is as good as real 4K).
While I'd rather games go for 1440p, it is kind of worrying that this is the case.
More expensive and weaker system? That's a recipie for a disaster. Hell, we've literally been through this song and dance before. That was a big part of the whole PS4-XBO thing back during their launch.

Also of the opinion that checkerboarding is a more sensible use of resources. More particles, higher res textures, better skin shaders, ray traced reflections, etc, any one of these are worth dropping real 4K for.
And this TV industry is already selling 8k displays. Its madness!
When are 8k consoles a thing? 2030?

Funny thing is, fake 4K is probably the better way, regardless of platform. Just not enough goodness is received going from 1440p->4K, especially with reconstruction techniques, in particular DLSS, becoming better and better with each release. Most games should just give the option.
But the PS5 isn't going to be using the XBOX's tech, it's trying to keep up with the XBX's framerate at 4K whilst both are performing much more complex and sophisticated work.
Native 4K in this day and age of good reconstruction techniques is literary a waste of resources.
"Fake 4K" reads like console war stuff from 2016/2017 when the mid-gen consoles were in the spotlight. It's been proven time and again that reconstruction techniques are the future. Is anyone actually bothered by this? I'll take checkerboard/temporal/whatever reconstruction over native any day of the week.
To answer the second question first, the difference is imperceptible if the correct reconstruction techniques are used with a lower internal resolution, while freeing up significant resources to put toward other aspects of visuals.
That should answer your first question as well.
Comments like this demonstrate a deep lack of knowledge about what is going on in your average game.

don't really care. PS5 is for exclusives, so if I want resolution I'll play on PC.
reconstruction is the future anyway.

That is the biggest news for me. He claims to know the prices of both consoles, and that is huge.

That sucks, give me true 4k.
In terms of graph the diff will be really small if any. What it is clear with only 18% more TF power and lower clocks.

It has? I searched quite a while for another post regarding his tweets and couldn't find anything. If you can link me something I'll report my own post and get it taken down so I'm not duplicating threads.
I'm just hoping the games have a 1080p mode, with some more bells asnd whistles and a more stable FPS. Couldn't give less of a fuck about 4K, native or otherwise.
I wish all PC games offered fake 4k. Fake 1440p, fake 1080p. I would use that stuff. Unfortunately not all games support DLSS, or have something like checkerboarding so we have to do native res which is why I don't have a 4k display, it's a waste of resources. Hopefully in the future there's something that can enable "fake 4k" on any game we want. Smart use of resources.
I'd imagine Series X can do real 4K AND better performance too, much like Xbox One X manages better resolution and performance on multiplatforms.
Remember that these systems aren't apples for apples Xbox has only given sustainable numbers while Sony gave theoretical most of the time maximums
they also are both aiming for different things
