Thinking about Starcraft Dominion, it will likely be released on PS and Xbox too to get to the largest market. I’m wondering if Sony can/will force them to release on PS6 only and not the PS5? PS6 will probably be expensive (ramageddon) and not sell well, and Blizzard will simply want the largest audience. In the past you kinda needed one console generation or the other* but given the whole situation of both gaming and hardware costs, I see uhh console generations and game settings all blending together to put it that way. (*I’m aware many games released on two generations or downscaled for nintendo. It’s often said but I think we’re at a turning point of what we need. How big is the market for 4k? etc.)
I think frame rate conclusively won the fight for our GPU cycles over resolution.
I personally don’t want anything less than 4K at 120hz. I don’t think I would want 1080p at 120hz on my LG C2.

Funny how Blu Ray content looks great, so we know that is capable of “high quality” at that resolution.
A perk to UHD over FHD is the addition of HDR/DV. Other perks are ALLM, VRR of 48-120Hz which help your screen “look” better, but that’s not reliant on 2160p, either. You could probably adjust a new game to 1080p and bump settings to max and hardly tell the difference. Unless your C2 is over 75"and you sit <6ft/2m away, not likely.
I can watch a Blu ray that’s uncompressed and it’ll look* better than a “4K stream” but again there are other factors at play. My point is I think It’s more of a placebo affect that you feel, with needing UHD.
4k/UHD content on Bu-ray discs is totally a thing, and the PS5 disc edition supports it. Obviously a disc with uncompressed 4k content would look better than a compressed 4k stream.
No shit UHD Blu Rays exist. I’m talking about FHD regular BDs still looking visually better than a compressed ~25Mbs “UHD” stream.

Maybe don’t be intentionally ambiguous, then.
No ambiguity when I clearly stated Blu Ray and not 4K Blu ray or UHD Blu Ray. You had a misinterpretation.
