Perhaps the people who value image quality differences in games are different to the people still happy watching media in SD? I know, crazy idea.
Even ignoring that though, your comparison is deeply flawed. DVD, Blu-Ray, and digital all have clear advantages. The first is cheaper in both player and disks, the second provides the highest quality experience, and the third on average is the most convenient. I'm a key example of how powerful these differences can be. I'm someone who values image quality *a lot*, i spent £3k+ on my current PC build so i could max games at 4k. And yet, despite this, almost all of my media consumption is through digital. My valuing of the differences between blu-ray 1080p/4k vs their digital equivalence is overwritten by my desire for convenience in that space.
In comparison, the PS4 and X1 are a much more linear comparison. The default cost of both is about the same (the X1 originally more because of the Kinect), their games cost the same amount, and both require the same amount of effort to play those games. So with price and convenience roughly equalised, differences in quality become a lot more relevant. You'd be right to say some people went a bit overboard, but i'd argue you often do similarly in the reverse. Your lack of interest in image quality doesn't nullify the interest of others.

Interesting, seems as if your misunderstood my point. I am all for image quality hence why i own a Duel GPU laptop and plan on buying a GTX1080 PC in the next couple of months followed by a 4k screen. I am all for the hightest qulaity which is why i play games on PCs.
As for my comparison i am referring to 90% of thie site who made out that 900p and 1080p were worlds different yet compare that to the avaerge human who doesnt actually care and are still happy buying DvD quality movies.
As for the bolded, sounds like your jumping to conclusions here. I am all 4k next year and i wont be going back.

90% believe the difference between 900p and 1080p is akin to "worlds apart"? That's... an incredibly silly thing to say. So almost every Nintendo (VGCs largest fanbase), Sony, and MS fan on VGC don't only value image quality, but are image quality enthusiasts to the point that they actively express that the difference between 900p and 1080p is akin to "worlds different"? 
Regardless, your reason for making the comparison doesn't change how flawed it is. Not only because DVD having its own clear advantages makes statements like "the average human doesn't actually care" somewhat aimless, but also because you're not dealing with 2 fully overlapping groups.
