Microsoft and Sony brought out their consoles a year too early in my opinion. I think for their consoles (Nintendo as always is doing it's own thing). 2K/60fps should have been the norm as to somewhat keep up with the PC's. Seeing the real Watch Dogs graphics unlocked, it doesn't spell any good that the PS4 runs downgraded visuals at 900p/30fps and the X1 doesn't do any better. 9th gen better be 4K/60fps for the big 2/3.

Average TV resolution/refresh rate will be the norm of consoles, they will never exceed that. To talk about 2k now is nonsensical. Consoles have never been about keeping up with PCs, and they sure as hell aren't going to do it with 10+ year old hardware.

The Xbox 360 and PS3 were half a year ahead of their PC counterparts. Blu Ray wasn't the norm, but Sony included it in their console. Sony and MS brought out HD consoles, while normal televisions were the norm (Nintendo followed the norm at that time and traded it for the motion control innovation). It's not about pampering to the norm, it's about looking what's going to become the norm.
