Given the nature of 4K TV's specified resolution of 3840x2160, you can literally create a 3x3 grid of 1280x720 AKA 720p sub screens for 9 player Split Screen gaming.

Take your favorite game that already has split screen co-op gaming of some form (Halo, Fortnite, Armored Core, Virtua-On, etc) would you want to play 9 player Split Screen gaming?

If not at home, what about in the arcade?

What are your thoughts on potential 9x player Split-Screen gaming?

9 player feels like a strange amount to me

Anything more than 4 is too much. I never liked the idea of a split screen though.

I remember Street Racer on SNES had 8-player split screen. If it worked in the SD era, it can work now.

Sounds awesome but game developers seem to dislike taking the time to make proper split screen experiences.

Might as well just bring back arcades so you can get that authentic feeling.

It's what the vast majority of 4K TV's are set at.

Ergo market popularity is really the only reason.

Thats what you say now.
Thats what they said about 4:3.
Ill see you in 2029 with my 4:1 television that Ive been saving up for while you fiddle around on your 4K fossil.
Why wait for the future? Why not make the future now?

Most Developers / Manufacturers will only work with what's popular on the market.

So it's a Chicken & the Egg problem.

Ergo 16:9 TV's @ 4K resolution is the new normal.

Until something changes, that's what all consoles will target which will have a down stream affect for most PC games.
