How long will 720P be sufficient for console gaming?

Some folks were boasting how a game that ran at 720p was the best they've ever seen, now they want to spit on that resolution.

You are missing the point. The point is a console purported to be as powerful as its competitor is no where near achieving parity in performance.  

You are missing the point. 720p is 720p in any platform.

If it looks beautiful on PS3 it shall look beautiful on PS4.

For some reason some devs couldn't get their games to run 1080p on X1, unlike 2K and many others.

So whoever has a gaming rig that can play 4k games natively (let's suppose) can't enjoy a game on their rig that runs at 1080p right now.

Sigh I fully agree with you that a good looking game will look good regardless of resolution (heck I think skyrim on enb looks better than what I've seen in next gen launch games). Case in point, visual appeal is up to one's own interpretation and even that is beside the point to what I was sayihng.

 X1 claims power parity with PS4 but from what's coming out from multiplats, such claim is becoming more and more questionable. Sure you can argue that devs aren't competant enough to realise xbox potentials etc but that's just a base to turn and twist the argument further, the other party can claim the same. No good is what's something is theoratically capable of if it isn't capable in practice.
