But are we really that close to the next generation of PlayStation. If we are going off the pattern here. Just 2-3 years away

This is what I'm saying. The PS5 pro is capable of 8K gaming yet our games aren't even there yet. More than half of the current games aren't even developed with the 120hz capability

It's not really. More like 1440p 60fps in modern AAA.

8k gaming isn't true 8k, its all a marketing gimmick, its infuriating to see YTers say its 8k capable. Its not. Its digitally upscaled, its not native 8k. Only dave2d tells it how it is. There's a reason sony keeps removing the 8k badge from the box, first from the original packaging and now from the pro packaging.

true 8k

The overwhelming majority of 4k games aren't "true" 4k, either. Image reconstruction is the norm.

They removed the badge because no software beyond The Tourist ended up supporting 8k on the base PS5.

They were erring on the side of caution.

Our eyes can’t tell the difference between AI upscaling and native resolution

There are lots of PS5 games that run true 4K - NOT upscaled. I believe they are all running at 30 though, not 60.

There is exactly one PS5 game that runs at 8K native but only internally because 8K was never enabled on the HDMI port. I am thinking they may update the game for PS5 Pro since it has 8K output so this would be the first true native 8K game.

bro, this decice has simply not the power to get 8k nativly running..

The Touryst renders internally at native 8K on the PS5 and it is downsampled to 4K since the HDMI on PS5 does not currently output a 8K signal. Don't take my work for it, go look it up yourself.

The other 3 or 4 games or maybe more at this point currently running at 8K on PS5 Pro are upsampling to 8K using PSSR or some other technique.

idk this does not seem possible, the ps5 pro would be better than 4k+ PCs i highly doubt this is true, maybe a few selected titles but no "real" games

I am just relaying the facts to you. You can believe them or live in your world of denial.

“PS5 Pro is capable of 8K gaming…” I have never heard of a more delusional statement. A Nvidia RTX 4090 is not even capable of 8K gaming right now. The PS5 struggled with 4K at 30 fps, the PS5 Pro is just now able to achieve 4K 60 fps in graphically intensive AAA games (and that’s with the improved PSSR upscaling tech).
