My opinion on the whole 720p vs 1080p thing, since this is more or less what the thread is addressing, goes back to 2007. From the get go, I was playing on a 1080p display and liked the difference in sharpness and detail going from 720p to 1080p. It allowed to me to get a little closer without seeing aliasing.
Back in 2007, I was under the mistaken impression that eventually, 1080p native resolutions would be standard on 7th gen hardware and when that was looking like a pipe dream, barring some lower graphical overhead games that bothered to take advantage of 1080p native render because they had the extra memory resources available, I transitioned to PC gaming. I still prefer gaming on a console, I just don't like paying the same price for a blurrier, aliased picture.
4k gaming is not going to happen on 8th gen hardware. Maybe we'll see some lower overhead games that take advantage of the full resolution, for those who have 4k displays, but I'm not expecting to see games like Uncharted 4 or MGS5 in native 4k. I think that's another pipe dream.
So my opinion is that since I'm exclusively gaming on 1080p displays, that's really what I want to see out of my 8th gen hardware games. 1080p/60fps should be be a given.
