Anyone else feel resolution is overrated?

So you made this thread because completely optional consoles which haven't sold a lot and don't dictate game development in the slightest (meaning very little devs are going to put an emphasis on resolution over graphics) exist? 

Nope, I made a thread because I wondered how many others felt that graphical resources on any current system, not just Pro or X, are better spent on detail/effects over pixel count.

But that doesn't change the fact that the comment was nonsensical. There is not a massive push for Pro's and One X's, they're completely optional. Sony and Microsoft might advertise them extensively, but that's because they want you to buy a more expensive model. Sure, people upgrade to them ... when they have disposable income. It is not the life blood of gaming or the gaming community. So again, how can resolution be "overrated"? 

The perfect set up developers have is fine, most games strike a great balance.
