In your post you say framerate and resolution are more important than any other effect, that isn't right at all,  my pc right now could play games at 16k resolution at 120fps providing I had the draw distance of gpolice from the psone (about 2meters in front of your ship)  of course no one in their right mind would take that over a 1080/60 game which is functional as a game?  Surely? 

Your speaking of 16k resolution and 120fps, is like the audiophile argument positing 24 bit 192 khz audio as superior to 16 bit 44.1 khz. It's a falsehood based on an erroneous premise, that higher numbers always equal better performance. It really comes down to what the human eye or ear can perceive.

Regarding graphics, my subjective opinion in order of priority:

1) high frame rate, preferably locked over variable/dynamic

2) high resolution

3) texture detail, number of triangles, anisotropic filtering, anti-aliasing

4) wankathon effects e.g. lighting, shadows 

Deminishing returns.

Even 4k is pushing it I think.

I know someone will post that damn picture that shows "worth it or not" + "distance from tv" + "screen size".

Where "worth it" actually means, the human eye is able to tell its better or not.

Most people are fine with 1080p.

Its also why I think the scorpio wont have as big a effect as most xbox users seem to think.

PS4pro with its checkerboard rendering technique is pretty close to real 4k, and honestly at this point jaggies arnt a issue.

Price differnce between the PS4pro & Scorpio will be a much more important matter for most consumers.
