With Playstation 5 show over was it a good decision to stream it on 1080p or should they have delayed it for 4k

Delayed for how long? It is jarring how much better these games look in 4K trailers. Same thing happened with the May inside Xbox
Not everyone can stream stuff at 4k/60fps.
Sure, that option would have been nice, but in the wake of a pandemic, it was probably a wise decision imo. A lot of people seem to forget that many of Sony's fanbase live in countries with unstable internet connection (like mine! And many of us woke up at 4 AM to watch the reveal)

Streaming quality don't matter really. And we are gonna have buffering forever. A flaw no one will ever figure out how to fix.
How would having a delay make the stream in 4K. The stream barely held steady at 1080p for most people regardless of their internet speed. Can twitch and youtube even stream at 4k?
For how many viewers there surely were (over a million on twitch), streaming at 1080p, 30fps was probably the right call. My twitch stream even hitched as Horizon was being shown.
I watched it live and the whole time I was thinking, "Yeah its only 1080p on YouTube right now, if course it'll look better on an actual PS5 and a 4k TV". So yeah, I was a bit disappointed. I should have just waited and watched the uploaded trailers later on.
It doesn't matter, almost everyone had their minds blown up with what was shown in 1080P.
And the Stream miraculously did not crash (at least with me), so it's fine the way it was.

I mean obviously it would have been better at a higher resolution and frame-rate, but it was good enough and the main thing is that the 4K trailers are available now.
Delay? The 4K trailers are up right now?
The decision to make it 1080p was probably to make the stream as stable as possible since they were expecting a massive audience.

It was fine as is. The show already showed it was professional looking by not looking like they shot interviews with a potato cam.
1080p is compressed too, 4k would still be an improvement wouldn't it?
The 1080p stream was so low bitrate there was no discernable difference from current gen, and what's worse, an overwhelming majority of people actually watched it in 720p cause that's still what Youtube defaults to. There's no doubt most people walked away with a very negative impression of "next-gen" visuals based solely on the stream, the 4K trailers are worlds apart. They might as well have unveiled all those games in 240p on Quibi cause that dog shit stream wasn't representative at all.
4k wouldnt have mattered, because the bitrate wouldnt have been good anyway.
If they wanted to release the whole thing as huge multi gig file in 4k60 as well as stream it, then that would be cool.
