The human can't see beyond anything above 720p so between 720p and 1080p there isn't much difference but some gamers it does play factor. You only have to look at the up roar with Assassins Creed Unity where that was running at one point 1080p and at 60fps now its 900p 30fps and even its a slight drop theres been so much back lash towards Ubisoft for doing so it has been a big deal theres been videos about this all over youtube and its been blowing up all over twitter the latest victim now is The Halo collection where the games are not running at 1080p and people making a fuss about it or games like PES 2015 running at 1080p at the moment on a PS4 and the Xbox One the res will be 720p again people will make a big deal about even if the difference is minor.
Most of the people that do play throughs of videos on youtube have more then one console i.e a PS3 and 360 they would tend to play the games like Call of Duty would tend to play the game on the 360 as the games looked a little better and the online a lot smoother unless they had one of the consoles then they had no choice now most the youtube gamers play on a PS4 simply because its deeded more powerful even if theres nothing in it.
The Xbox One may have better first party but why is the PS4 so far ahead of it, simply reasons why at one point it was cheaper console but the Xbox One is a lot cheaper and two because the PS4 is more powerful and when gamers hear the word more powerful thats where people's mind set will be because they want the most powerful hardware in there hands thats why the PS4 is doing well with hardly any first party games for it. The only time this won't apply is there's a game which you simply can't get on PS4 i.e Halo or Forza or if a game has first exclusive DLC like Call of Duty or Fifa 15 then if you want that those factors will make you wanna get that version of the game or both games like for example Assassins Creed Unity are exactly the same or if you've made the choice to just to settle with one of those consoles.
Whats more worrying is that there supposed to be next gen consoles and most the games can only 30 frames per second and you consoles like Wii U with games like Bayonetta 2 doing 1080p and more importantly doing 60 frames per second. I have a link to another again Dragon Age: inquisition being latest game to get attention for being 1080p on a PS4.
I don't really care about a res of game as long as the game is fun to play and i enjoy them, thats why i still have my Wii, Super Nintendo, NES, PS1 and Gamecube and they don't have HDMI support they scart and there still as funny as they do i first bought them it should be about the games not about the hardware thats what true gaming is really about
