Does a minor graphical upgrade justify a console purchase?

I can't tell the difference between 4k and 1080p while watching a movie on a 40 inch screen from about 6 feet away.

I doubt that you already watched a 4k-movie on a 40'' 4k-TV screen. ;)

But for some people, a smaller console or a console with less power drain or a console with less noise or a console with a bigger HDD is already enough to justify their upgrade. So why shouldn't a console with better graphics (4K/better AA or 60 fps instead of 30 fps or better post processing/textures/shadows) and probably less noise due to better efficiency/components and probably a bigger HDD (perhaps even faster due to SATA3 instead of SATA2) not justify the upgrade?

I agree. We upgrade things in our lives all the time that someone else might call minor. Why should consoles be different?  Excluding the console life cycle arguement that is and just focusing on tech upgrades. I buy crap all the time because it's a little bit better now than what I have currently.
