The LIMITED adoption of 4k in gaming, TV, etc. is the point he is making.  Just because a small group (early adopters) of a small group (dedicated PC gamers) of a small group (gamers in general) are doing it does not mean that it is convenient for the largest of the small group (gamers).  You seem to think that because you do something the rest of the world will do it, should do it, or already is doing it.  Doesn't work that way.


You don't need to be dedicated to experience 4k gaming. As you know, PCs have been capable of 4k resolutions for a very long time. Also, 4k televisions are getting very cheap.

I dunno what you've heard, but the PC is a lot farther ahead of consoles than you may think.

You go around telling people they know nothing and all that crap.

Here is how limited the adoption of 4K gaming actually is: http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey

Scroll to the Primary Display Resolution data and you will notice that less than 4% of gamers play at a resolution higher than 1080p. Not 4k, all resolutions above 1080p combined. What more, less than 1% of all gamers play in 4k. Only 33% of them play in 1080p. While 25.97% are still playing in 1366x760.
The ratio doesn't change much when you factor in the multi-displays users.

So much for boasting the adoption rate of 4K PC gaming.
