His comment implied there was absolutely no reason to own an X1X, which is a position i disagree with. The value of the X1X's advantage is up for debate (the PS4, X1S, Pro, and X1X all have things going for them after all), but that it has one is undeniable. If i didn't game on PC i'd value the X1X's multi-plat performance quite a lot. I would likley be in a minority, as you say 1080p is still the standard right now and the PS4/X1S are a lot cheaper, but those that do want an X1X aren't deranged.

Doesn't matter what the standard display resolution is.
It is undeniable the benefits a 4k rendered image downscaled to 1080P brings.
You know those images that look like bullshots at 1080P? It's a similar process to how those are created... By downscaling them from a higher resolution.
Besides... We haven't obtained truly photo-realistic graphics even at 720P yet, let alone 1080P. There is lots of room to improve, regardless of display resolution.
The Xbox One X will appeal to some gamers. Others it won't... And that's okay.
I personally haven't played my Xbox One X for more than 10 minuets since purchasing it a few days ago, spent more time doing updates, there are just no games are enticing me to play it over my PC right meow.

You're absolutely right about SS, but the current prevalence of 1080p will reduce the number of people interested in the X1X and Pro. Super sampling can look great, especially when you're dealing with big jumps over the screen resolution, but it doesn't look as good as having the native resolution. Having a 4K TV makes both of them a lot more appealing.
Part of the blame sits with MS and Sony too though. Their marketing has quite heavily focused on 4K, when it should be highlighting the general advantages (e.g. just 'shit looks better, yo').
