Far Cry 6 to run at 4K HDR only on the Xbox Series X? PlayStation 5 fans would not agree and for good reason

The poster of Far Cry 6 contains fine print that the game will run at 4K UHD only on the Xbox One X and Xbox Series X consoles naturally causing some consternation among PlayStation 5 (PS5) fans. However, there's no need to worry as this wording only pertains specifically to how Xbox advertises 4K and has no bearing whatsoever on how the game would perform on the PS5.

For me things are clear and very simple, no need to think long. Sony does not promote game resolution because it knows that the Playstation 4 Pro cannot achieve 4K resolution on games or most. Microsoft does this because the XBOX One X displays 4K resolution on the games on which they are mentioned. I'm waiting to see what Sony will write on the back of the covers of Playstation 5 games but given the difference in Teraflops between the Playstation 5 and the XBOX Series X no doubt that Microsoft will not hesitate to mention the resolution on the covers XBOX Series X games. However, I do not understand why Sony has not focused on the performance of the Playstation 5 :-\. The speed of the SSD is not everything. Let's wait and see. :) :)

It's all rather quite clear. Especially if you are a bit old :)

Sony used a "normal sized" gpu with for a console to keep the costs low. Like ps4 pro for example. Just barely enough to call it 4k on advertisements even if it can be true for only a handful of few games with lower settings.

This is standard, modus operandi.

They are very good at PR and they have to be: Sony is a media company. Sony Pictures. Sony Music.

Crucial for them knowing how to skew skew public opinion; having good relations with "news sources".

Sony did this before: older guys would recall pulling the same stunt with Nintendo.

That time, N64 was clearly the better console than PS1, much better in fact - Nintendo partnered with SGI! It was the advent of 3D graphics and SGI de facto owner of 3D.

And Sony made the same move - told and made others lie about "much better graphics of PS." Pushed to product into market fast to prevent comparison. And cheap, so during the period no one can catch their lie, cornered the market.

Even though this was so long ago - before practically all current websites, this is even well documented.

To young readers: (if they don't want to find out and read) Look up a few screenshots "n64 vs ps1" on Google Images or videos at YouTube.

They are not focusing on ssd performance, they are changing the narrative. Don't you think Nvidia or Amd would have figured out by now if RTX 2080 Ti is the same as RTX 2060 with a enterprise ssd? Quatro anyone?

More importantly, (not just this) writer mentions Xbox Series X and PS5 will have the same kind of GPU, yet conveniently skips the huge size difference between them. If that's not a problem, than RTX 2080 Ti is the same as overclocked RTX 2060.

AND!

If they have the same gpu and cpu, why doesn't anyone speak about the gigantic size difference between them? To 'try to' compansate for a huge heat difference. Why would essentially the same system run much hotter?

Why would after all these generations a console start overclocking and suddenly abondon the principle of ensuring the same performance between devices consistantly between locations?

Competitor learned from their mistake. And already showed us they learned: Xbox One X is so much faster than PS4 Pro. So much faster it's almost as fast as PS5! (Yeah i can exaggerate a bit too)

(And i'm a huge Sony fanboy - owned and will own every PS console (including Pro and both handheld ones - PSP rocks! But i love good graphics and believe their development should be encouraged. Just don't like mass manipulation)
