Pixels and numbers don't really relate to better graphics for me. I just dont notice it. I'm not surprised by the poll results though, people have made such a big fuss over resolution but its hardly noticable in screenshots or in motion. Most people are not gaming on a 50+ tv to notice anyways.
Last gen, the difference in textures, shadows, lighting etc was the real kicker. For me the difference is night and day bewteen most 360 games and ps3 games.
