Everything is a bit of an exaggeration

Is it an exaggeration? Your description of the RSX was more an exaggeration than any of my descriptions. "Anemic"? Not even close. The RSX was only outcalssed by the 360 due to the eDRAM. Other than that, it actually had better performance in many tasks.

And the way games look might be subjective, but 90%+ people would never notice a difference in real life, unlike the 360/PS3 fiasco where PS3 multiplatform games were consistently worse, and blatantly noticeable at that. The vast majority of people don't see the difference between 900p and 1080p, especially if the 900p is upscaled well, but people could easily tell the difference between the 360 and PS3 version, especially in the first 3 or 4 years of last gen. 

So yes, it's subjective, but it's an opinion that the majority of people who just play games for fun share.

Who is also the one who described the RSX. Seeing as the performance of PS3 multiplats was generally worse, last gen for the most part I have my evidence, where is your about the Tasks it apparently did better in.

90+ of statistics you find on the internet are made up. You have no claims backing up what different audience notice and do not, so its foolishing making such blanket statements and building rationale off of that.

Its your opinion that its just because the a vast majority won't notice the difference and that because they won't notice it they won't care. That is absolutely silly. If the difference is larger, then it stands to reason that It will be easier to notice, especially if your used to it. Thats how human vision works. Not to mention the advent of 1080p television and gaming means that people are going to get used to new resolutions. Its not a new thing, compare Ps2 games to PS3 games and then to PS4 games, tell me its noticiable.

 

If you have ever been in a retail environment, let alone one of electronics, Average consumers will want to know the difference between things if they don't have prior biases. Even if they can't see the differences, if they look at the back and it says 1080p and the other copy says 900 p and they both cost the same then, no consumer average or otherwise will not choose the lower resolution. Whether they notice the difference is completely irrelevant, when the differences are magnified.

I think you're making this stuff up about consumers really noticing a difference for the most part, because they don't. Ask any video game player if they notice much of a difference on their One compared to their PS4 and most will say that the difference is marginal at best. Yes, I am basing this off of my own experiences as a college student with friends with multiple consoles, along with threads on this site and others.

For consumers, they'll buy the console that has their favorite game on it, they don't give a damn about 900p upscaled to 1080p vs native 1080p. All they see is that the games look similar, and so they feel comfortable buying their console.

This isn't like a consumer looking at the Wii U vs the PS4/One and noticing a significant difference in visuals. They see that both consoles output games that have very similar looks, and then get the one that has the games they like.

In the end it may be subjective, but let's not pretend that majority consumers make their purchase on whether a game is 900p vs 1080p, because they don't. They'll make the purchase on whichever platform their friends use and the one most appealing to them, confident that the games will look almost exactly the same no matter what console.
