So you stand by your claim that 90% of VGC users believe the difference is "worlds different"? Nintendo fans and all?
And no, i think it might be you misunderstand. You said your reason for making the comparison is because, to quote you exactly and in full "As for my comparison i am referring to 90% of thie site who made out that 900p and 1080p were worlds different yet compare that to the avaerge human who doesnt actually care and are still happy buying DvD quality movies.".
I was pointing out that DVD having an objective advantage over Blu-ray (average cost) makes your claim that DVD's popularity is proof that 'the average human doesnt actually care' is aimless. Without controlling for that objective variable (so proving people don't care at all, rather than simply valuing cost over quality), you're just making an assumption and asserting it as fact. By extension, the absence of that same variable with the PS4 and X1 makes the comparison silly.

Than if it makes you happy, lets change the % ratio. Either way, heaps on this very own site talked up 1080p being everything. Choose to ignore that if you wish. Iv seen what people have written on here.
Yes, i still stand by my post that not many care about upgrading to Blu-Ray, you know why? Because if they did care they would simply upgrade. *Mind Blown*
Blu-Ray isnt exactly expensive to get into. The main reason why many dont upgrade is because they dont see the point. DvD offers a satifactory movie experince. Much like 900p offers to gamers etc.

It shouldn't be a matter of 'making me happy', but rather you being able to acknowledge when something you've said is clearly illogical. Regardless, I never claimed there weren't people who put significant value on 1080p, just that you're exaggerating that expressed significance and the prevalence of that expression. Only a fraction of a minority have ever claimed the difference between 900p and 1080p is 'worlds different'. And that's even with the majority of users on here, that being almost all Nintendo fans and a good chunk of our PS and Xbox fans, avoiding image quality discussion since they don't find them interesting. So it's a minority of those already interested. Surely, considering all that, you can understand why i think your claim is so silly?
Prove it then. Show me the data that backs up your claim. You're stating your claims as fact, so surely you have more than assumptions? Show me the data that proves there is little correlation between price and the strength of DVD. Historically price has been a driving factor in the success of almost all mainstreams products, so i'd be incredibly interested to see this data. That correlation failing with something as significant as DVD truly would be *Mind Blowing*.
Really though, it feels like your arguing with an alternative version of me, rather than the me here now. I never argued these people don't believe DVD is a satisfactory experience, i argued against your claim that the average person outright doesn't care (to quot you: "avaerge human who doesnt actually care"). There's a big difference between "I am fine with this" and "i don't care". The latter is absolute, the former can be influences by others variables. Variables like price. To many, the difference between £10 and £15 on every new film they buy is quite a lot, even if they do value image quality to an extent.
It's perfectly possible for your assumptions to be correct, I've never actually argued against the core point. Just how you arrive at that point, and how you use it.
