Native 4K shouldn't be the focus of Next-Gen

It will be the focus for the first year and a half. Then people will be allowed to make games the way that works for them with only relatively quiet outrage directed at them.

4K is still too expensive rendering wise. I rather have higher frame rate, which is actually improving gameplay. That said, some games benefit from higher res (read: more information displayed) and don't require 60fps. Like turnbased strategy and slow moving RTS. Those games are just not big on consoles. Chasing 4K just for its sake is dumb.

Tbh I'm pretty happy with 1080p displays :/

Something to consider, for people that want a focus on higher resolutions even if that means running at 30 FPS.
In motion, 30 FPS drops resolution to ~150 lines on the majority of displays; basically anything not using black frame insertion or interpolation.
And 60Hz BFI is not suitable for 30 FPS sources, since it will result in judder and double images.

60 FPS will have ~300 lines of resolution in motion, and 120 FPS will have ~600 lines of resolution.
Since most of your time in a game is spent moving rather than looking at static images, arguably the higher frame rate is more important as far as "resolution" is concerned.

It should be 60FPS, but it won't be. I'll be some marketable graphical buzzword.

I really don't give a shit about 4k because I don't have a 4k TV. I'd rather see 1080p at 60FPS next gen which still is not going to happen so...

Next gen priority ranking:

Ray tracing > 4K > 8K >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 60 fps

I will buy whatever console that gives me 4K/60fps.

Tired of 30 FPS. Especially playing Sekiro on base PS4 was the moment I was like "I'm done".

I will pay a premium, just give it to me.
