PS4 is selling for more reasons than 1080p multiplats. To say its selling for resolution is delusional. It has a strong library of games like XB1 but it plays many of the same games with better graphics.
By the time PS5 comes out 4K/8K will be the standard. 1080p would be a thing of the past. People are already moving to 4K TV. If PS5 releases in 2018 the majority of the western world would have moved to 4K. In such a situation NX will look bad again. Also PS5 and XB2 will have far more powerful hardware than NX and then the situation will once again be the same.
Lets not forget that PS4 and XB1 can easily run 1080p60fps ports of all PS3 games. As graphics have evolved PS4 and XB1 have been unable to do that with current-gen games. So if NX is able to run current PS4 games at 1080p60fps, it will have a hard time doing 1080p30fps with PS5 and XB1 games if it can run them at all. And as I said 4K will be the standard by then. NX needs to be a generation above PS4 in terms of power to stand a chance against PS5 and XB2.

I have a hard time believing that 4/8k will be standard by the time PS5 comes out. Average consumers don't see much benefit outside of 1080p and 60 fps. They are just now starting to make a single card that can keep up with 4k on PC. I find it doubtful that there will be a production console out there in the next 4 years that will be running 4k at a locked 60 fps. Diminishing returns for power usage is a real thing when it comes to graphics and outside of enthusiasts I just don't see 4/8k being a big deal, since its the exact same games. Maybe 1080p with some AA but I think it will all go towards improving other effects and not just raw resolution.

4K will become the standard by 2018. Right now it may seem expensive and unlikely but its quickly becoming more mainstream both among consumers and PC gamers. I think 4K30fps will be the standard next-gen as costs of these 4K rigs are dropping quickly. ALso as I said graphics will advance a lot next-gen and with PS4 level hardware NX wouldn't even be able to run those games at 1080p30fps.
If VR takes off then NX will have another problem which going by Reggie's comments they will not have an answer to.
