Second off, no one besides Sony's first party studios are going to be able to take advantage of it. I was looking at these side by side graphic comparisions between xbox one and ps4 and can't tell much difference and the difference will be even less noticable to anyone else that is playing the game a few feet from the t.v. and not standing right next to the t.v. Surely this can't be a legit reason to prefer a console over another.

Every multi platform game thus far has both run better and at a higher resolution on the ps4, remember people are playing these games in their native resolutions on large screens not downscaled lossy videos on YouTube in a little window.

Even on a dinky little 32" TV the difference between u20 and 1080 is noticeable at average sitting differences.

For the whole of last gen subtle differences in resolution and graphical ability were a major talking point for Xbox fans who often paraded the fact most Xbox 360 multi plats looked better, even if you had to literally flip between screenshots of the two in a gif to notice it.

Now there's an obvious and growing graphical difference those same Xbox fans have changed their tune, some are still around though, holding on to and championing ryse as the graphical king for example, as more games are released these people too will eventually switch tact to championing gameplay over graphics as if multi plat titles play differently, as it will be the only leg they have left to stand on.

 

To put it bluntly, the spec is one of many rounds of ammunition Sony fans are using to give Xbox fans a taste of their own medicine, and likely will for the entirety of this generation, so I would suggest you attempt to get used to it or practice ignoring it, or you're going to have a bad time.
