Ask HN: Why doesn't PS5 support 1440p when it can do 4k?
I am assumming a lot of people will prefer playing at 1440p 120fps then at 4k 60 fps atleast for multiplayer games.
Related gripe about Sony: they lost my business when they scrubbed the dev kit for the ps vita. I wanted my own games on there. Even preordered a book. Then when I finally had time and some tutorials and discovered I needed a key but the key server had been taken offline. So Xbox it is and not so much Sony. I don't buy anything Sony now. Its been so long but I'm still salty about it.
Everything else is just speculation. It could be that Sony's detached from people's needs? Perhaps the 1440p market is small in Japan? It could be because Sony wants to sell more of their 4K TVs?
Considering how "old-school" Sony tends to be, I'd wager it's a bit of column A
