Anyone else feel resolution is overrated?

Not really. It totally skips the point of the thread, in fact. The OP never denied nor questioned the importance of resolution. He asked if it is undeservedly praised. By this same thinking, one could argue that many Xbox fans did not care for res until their system was the one touting 4K (Forbes did an about face with the X1X), while a chunk of PC fans sit back and laugh at both sides.

That is a silly measuring contest to entertain, regardless. 

I agree... Mostly. Resolution gate was absolutely huge. Digital foundry videos/threads were unavoidable once upon a time and now they're posted more about the Switch then the other consoles. I'll include myself as one of the xbox fans who "didn't care" in the beginning. It's just a cycle of the wars.

Even though the resolution gap has swung back favourably to my console maker of choice and I have an awesome TV to handle it , I still don't really care enough to go out and buy an X. I'd take 1440p with better visual effects over 4k every day of the year so I'm waiting for next generation instead.

 

The only measuring I was thinking about was the level of talk and controversy. Not sure how it is on other sites but on vgc, it just seems world's apart. I'll hush myself now.

Resolutiongate was important then because back then it mattered.

The consoles just released. The Pro and X came too late to make any difference. And this upgraded consoles really just goes to show how pointless the whole resolution gate thing was.

Which should make one wonder.....
