I've already explained the difference.
900p vs 1080p is noticeable. I very much doubt at the much higher resolution with diminishing returns and the less than half power gap the difference is going to be noticeable in standard gameplay to almost anyone.
900p vs 1080p is a noticeable increase in image quality.
1900p vs 2160p? is anyone going to notice?
That's my point. The gap this time is so small that the only people that are going to care are the ones looking for ammo.
Now the gap may be larger than this, we'll find out in a couple of weeks but I doubt it. There comes a point when a gap is small enough that the only reason to care is console wars.

Exactly. Upscaling techniques have gotten far more refined as well, nothing like the crude upscaling we had at the start of this gen.
Apart from that, my tv has only increased in size by a factor 1.25x (52" 1080p to 65" 4K)
1080p was more than enough for the 52" tv (still looks great on the 4K one)
1.25x 1080p, 1350p is plenty for this gen for me.
Actually from my regular sitting position I can't notice anything above 1440p, the rest is all a waste of resources.
Hitting native display resolution isn't that important any more since 4K dot pitch is so 4x smaller than 1080p and people have not gotten 4x bigger tvs. Temporal upscaling and anti aliasing techniques also make native display resolution far less important. DF is having to jump through hoops nowadays trying to count the pixels.
And yep, the power gap (percentage wise) next gen is even smaller than this gen.
