You do know 4k requires roughly 4x the GPU power vs 1080p and 1440(at 30 fps) is within the 3x less power (4/12) that differentiates them.
By keeping the exact same everything else (with reduced memory again because that'd directly tied to resolution) they can offer. Slower cost lower resolution version without compromising the experience of series x owners.
I understand that. However, 4K TVs have become very prevalent (I've seen as low as $300 where I am) and for a console which will probably be in the market for 7 to 8 years, it should still be able to drive 4K at least as well as the Scorpio (One X) currently does. Scaling back performance to only support 1080/1440p seems short sighted. Though, as others have pointed out, 4TF of RDNA2 may perform as well or better than the 6TF on hand in the Scorpio.
