Publisher: Dev, for the next iteration of [INSER GAME] I want you to support both XBOX One and Scorpio!
Dev: Cool, which platform is the lead?
P: Both are important, but well, there are 30 million XBOX Ones and 5 million Scorpios out there, so your priorities should be clear.
D: Got it. So, the Scorpio edition. We have two options for that:
a) we push the resolution of the XBOX One game to 4k at the same frame rate or
b) we will enhance the XBOX One game with much better effects, models and textures, but then we won't be able to hit native 4k resolution, just 1080p which is then upscaled to 4k.
P: Option B sounds promising! 4k TV users would be fine as well, I guess, due to the upscaling. Where's the catch?
D: Well, option A is basically delivered by our dev tools, we just have to pull a switch and afters some additional tweaks there's your XBOX One game in native 4k on Scorpio. For option B, we need additional time and financial resources to put in all those bells and whistles and...
D: Stop it right there....
