Yeah, plus, that performance gap PS had over XB existed for the first 4 years+ of the gen at a cheaper price. And PS has better + more games. XB is inferior in every other quantifiable metric that matters to gamers. Briefly having a more powerful system at the end of the gen has meant exactly 2 things. Jack and shit. That's why XBO is an also-ran that's going to be passed by the Switch, a system that launched over 3 years after the XBO, in short order. Resolution, right? It doesn't matter how positive Phil Spencer is. Don't buy into his hype. That guy could step in dog shit right before he walked in on his brother railing his wife, and then tweet about what a good day it was. |
Oh yeah man. Your explanation is awesome.

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. |
The threat is pretty clear. Resolution is overrated, yes o no.
In 2013 the answer was NO. (beginning of generation, DF was making its videos over and over again about 1080p ps4, 900p one).
In 2017 the answer was YES. (xbox one x comes on the scene. Where is DF now? Oh yeah, the comparison now is about ps4 pro and switch).
Who cares about PC. We are talking about consoles. PC users can take resolution they want.
