You already know why this is being made out to be a big deal. The truth is, nobody really cares but it’s more fodder for the war.

Why are some making a big deal that the Xbox Home UI is going to run at 1080p?

I actually don't give a fuck, but it's counterintuitive, to say the least, when everything around it speaks 4K.

Loaded polls should be banned. There is no room in between a low-res UI being a complete non-issue and something that demands avoiding the console altogether?
Obviously, I'm not canceling my preorder over this, but it is still concerning. The UI is something you interact with every day and for every game. The fact it isn't ready to do 4K is worrisome especially coupled with the fact that we've heard so much about the power of the Series X, but have yet to see much tangible results of this power.

And has 8k on its specs and possibly on the box. That’s why it will get patched in.
Yeah the poll could use another option or 2

I said in another thread that I couldn't care less and stand by it. Xbox One X UI looks fine and if it gives developers more memory to play with all the better.

If there was fire on every chicken little theory on GAF the world would be burning. My guess is a lot less smoke and a lot more hot air.

Nobody is saying it's the end of the fucking world. Just because some are reasonably disappointed, that doesn't mean it's "console wars" either.
Some of us don't really understand why a 12TF console, in which they've been bragging about 4K/120fps/RT for the past year, can't even provide a 4K UI, which should be the LEAST intensive use of 4K. I find resolution makes a bigger difference in UI than in gameplay, because UI is so text heavy. Definitely makes a very substantial visual difference at larger screen sizes. So why can the PS4 Pro, a last generation machine pull it off, but the Series X can't? Just an odd choice.

It's not that hard to understand. 4k ui takes up almost a 1gb of ram. You want that going towards games or ui?

It is a very loaded statement to make though... also, with such a fast SSD I expect less data to have to reside in RAM at all times and streamed in On Demand... yes, for the OS too.

Welp then there you have it. It's a no-brainer. It's the equivalent of me optimizing my desktop for gaming. I turn all the bells and whistles off in Windows so I can get the most performance out of my games on PC.

If the UI works like it does in PC land then your missing out on a massive amount of screen real-estate but I also understand that some 4k users on PC will scale their UI in windows and loose screen space in replace of larger icons, text and other assets. Personally I think if the machine is being marketed as primarily 4k then having a 4k UI would go nice with that theme and presentation.
