HDR, perhaps not a big deal now but it will be. (Destiny)

So, we should just stop the clocks and all go 720p now?

No. But you can't demand that devs immediately cater to every new tech that springs up. Remember when 343 added 3D support to Halo: Anniversary? Yeah, that investment sure paid off, huh?

There's only one way forward to this story. Sony had a head start last year with PS4 Pro. Do you think they went 4K without good reason? It was preparation for the inevitable. If Sony had fielded the same specs as XB1X last year, I'm sure your point of view would be quite different today and not waiting for 2.5 years to pass.

Nope. Remember that I'm one of the people who champions 30fps against the neckbeards who claim that games are unplayable at that old speed. My phone is from 2012, and I prefer my cheap 32 inch screen to Sammy's Smart tv. I can adapt and move forward with technology, sure (I have a Launch Day PS4 Pro, after all), but I also know that some things need further refinement in quality or price (PSVR is neat, but not something I'll be buying anytime soon), and they always will be better and cheaper down the road.

HDR is neat, but they are making 1080p TVs with HDR now for those who actually care, but don't want to dump $800+ for a 4KTV that has it (Remember, if your 4k TV is under $800, it likely doesn't have HDR... yet).

And historically, the market seems to absolve my point of view.
