Gaming shouldn't go over 4K. Once we fully achieve 4K we should focus on framerate!

Sorry to burt your bubble, but 8k or 7680×4320 is next. ;)

Games that can leverage the increases in resolution should do so.

Games that are more sensitive to performance should focus on that area. (Overwatch for example.)

Please come on stop this madness. What the hell are humans gonna do with 8k. I mean will 8k truly translate to more crispness for our eyes. What next? Will the PS7 play 16k games. When will the stupid resolution saturation reach.

The human eye doesn't perceive the world in terms of pixels.

With that in mind... I don't think we have reached the point of "good enough" just yet. Almost. But not yet.

The amount of pixels that you can discern does vary depending on display size, display quality, your eye quality (You can actually exceed 20/20 vision) and distance from the display.

Some games and animations already feel life-like as is. What are they gonna look more real than the real world around me? I mean I ask whether 4k movies and games are not enough even though they have barely caught on as is. Also how much resolution can the human eye register. Can we even without kidding ourselves tell the difference between 4k 8k and a possible 16k

Well. To be fair... We haven't technically "saturated" even 720P yet, games still don't look photo-realistic even at 720P, let alone 1080P or 4k.
Resolution is only part of the equation for better image quality.
