If I am correct, it was also displayed on Xbox boxes no ?
Shitty practice that has been common for ages, displaying on boxes technical specs that were actually never attained in any game.
...And where done here.

Good, ban that shit. We can't even use 4K TVs properly yet, not for gaming and not for TV even.

Is This the End of 8K TVs?
8K TVs are so power-hungry, that they are now about to be banned from the European Union, so does this mean that the quest for higher and higher resolution monitors will now cease? My private 4K TV is in the A+ efficiency category but 8K sets are currently classed as G, so is 8K doomed?vmi.tv

Watch them add "16K" to the PS6 box while having a GPU equivalent to a 4070.

8K is definitely needed, but the technology has not matured yet.

That looks like Jimmy Urine from the band, Mindless Self Indulgence. Pretty fun band, I've seen them live maybe 4 times back in the day.

Movies are too reliant on CGI's these days and to meet Hollywood deadlines, the most common resolution for VFX is 2k, so, is worse than we think, movies are shot at 6k, downsampled to 2k to match the CGI then upscaled back to 4k, this is why old movies shot with film look much better in 4k. This can change once CGI target resolution increases, the industry is definitely moving into that direction.

8K may be too much for traditional games with good anti-asiling, but would still be good for other cases. In VR "4K" resolution (8 milion pixels) still looks worse than 1080p flat, more like 720p. For office work 8K would be nice to have as well. I'm using a 4K 27 inch monitor and if I turn off subpixel rendering I can clearly see a degradation in text quality. If I open paint and draw some lines the jeged edges are visible from my normal distace, but if I move back twice as much they become invisible, so 8K would have that effect from up close.
The games I would just keep at 4K if they have good AA, since while playing something like Breath of The Wild emulated in 4K the aliasing still bothers me.

My thought exactly. Which game can do 4K 120 fps on the PS5, or for that matter, which game can do 4K 60 fps ? The 'performance' mode of any game that hits 60 fps, is usually running at 1440p or 1800p.

It is. I've seen them 2-3 times. Sucks they seem to be on a permanent hiatus.

Same with Microsoft. They should be changing their boxes soon if they can't deliver.

It was never meant to play games in 8K. I think what they meant was watch videos on 8K TVs. Which does work. My friend uses the PS5 to watch media on his 8K TVs. I think Sony projected 8K TVs being more prominent, but no one is buying them. There's just not enough content and it's still really niche. We're 5-10 years away from 8K at the very least.

I'm not going to argue with your fair point, just maybe shed some light on what's going on on the other side of the table..
They've got a box that has no problem with outputting an 8K display at the time as there were a growing number of panels in the shops advertising the same thing. Now, Sony is a multi business company with interests in almost every tech category there is. Who decided to put that 8K sticker on the box? The PlayStation division? I don't think so. That was probably put there by Sony HQ. Gambling on the 8K craze and the ability to look at your 8K camera captures on an 8K panel, or watch 8K videos etc. I'd call it "Investor padding", you can call whatever you want. I can imagine the PS representative just delivering a nod at the HQ table.
As everyone now knows, 8K didn't really take off (thank god), so that initial "gamble" didn't pan out. With that said; Did Sony step on a crapper?, yes they did.
Should they be reprimanded for it? Yeah probably.

All 5 owners of 8K TVs got better things to do elsewhere than wasting time paying lawyers.

3D TV was so awful, nobody wanted it or were asking for it and every high end TV had to go chasing that bullshit. So glad people came to their senses and it died out.

Prince of Persia The Lost Crown runs at 4K/120 on both PS5 and XSeX
Astro's Playroom runs at 4K/60 and we can assume Astro Bot will also

Yup. Nobody cared about 3D.
I remember when it came out, 3D glasses were like $200 each.
Then a couple years later when 3D tv fizzled out and companies were trying to get rid of it, I remember LG selling 8-packs of 3D glasses for like $49.99.
