I just realised if 720p is so horrible, how did we survive

1) Its a proven fact by Psychology that people need to rationalise and justify their purchase decision to achieve cognitive balance. I have a Degree on Marketing, i know what i'm talking about.

2) I never said there wasnt, i said people feel the need to rationalise their purchase decisions and thus give it importance. These people beeing the vocal people in the internet (these are the ones we are talking about, not the AVERAGE consumer as you put it. Those obviously dont even know what resolution these numbers mean). Though i firmly believe 60fps will benefit any game.

3) Alot depends on that, so its not necessarely true.

1) Even if 8th gen games are running at 720p... the vastly superior visuals, frame rates, and 8th gen exclusive library will help rationalize their purchase.

2) If you put it that way, I agree.

3) I'm just pointing out the X1 and PS4 have limitations. If AAA developers focus on achieving 1080p and 60 fps at all times, that will effect how far they push in game graphics.
