Mobile game truck/trailer for parties. Don't know if they make a profit.

Common sense dictates that people will pay for what they cannot acquire, granted the demand is present. People obviously demand better graphics or else the xbox one and ps4 would not be selling so well.
There is no a shred of factual truth in this. I have ps4, xb1, and pc. PC @ 4k always and I mean ALWAYS wins against consoles

Arcades are dead? Ever heard of Dave and Busters? And not only nerds like to play games. Most college students enjoy their fair share of gaming. Really the business is for people like you guys. People who are surfing forums on a computer hardware website at around mid-day. Would you consider yourself a basement nerd for that?
You could play with your friends in person at a lounge such as the one i suggested. You could play with them in person on a better looking screen. The reason there is not enough buzz (which is definitely disputable) for 4k is because it is too expensive for the average consumer. People do not show interest in what they cant afford. Especially console gamers.
What is your rent per square foot in NYC? What are your upfront overhead and capital costs such as buildout and equipment purchases? How many systems will be available? What will be the hourly rate for using these incredible systems that people can't afford? How much will the average customer spend? What kind of traffic do you need to support your monthly expenses? What is your break even point?
How old are you? Entrepreneurship is admirable, but difficult. You are approaching this with the sophistication of a child.
There is an objective difference between the two. One is sharper, clearer, and on a bigger screen. Unless you mean to tell me a rational person would chose to play a muddy version of a game, you have to accept that difference between 4k and 1080p is objective.
People aren't spending $20 to see movies in IMAX when they can watch Netflix in their underwear.
If you like at my op you will see I am just gauging peoples interest. I am currently en route to getting a masters in economics so trust me when I say I probably know a bit more than you. I already figured out most of the aforementioned but I am just curious about what people have to say. And a rate of $7 per hour is affordable and I will offer discounts on bulk like say $20 for 3hrs. The goal is to have higher traffic as opposed to having the same people sitting there all day. That saps profits.

graphics is not what drives the demand for PC lan centers. Being able to host tournaments, and bring in popular gamers is what keeps them thriving. Gamer fame is a lot lower in the USA than in Europe or Asia though.
4K is just an incremental upgrade and isn't radically different like 3D and virtual reality, but even those people can get at home these days.
I've got a $500 gaming rig and I can play everything at ultra at 2560x1440. Why would I shower, put on pants, travel 20 minutes and pay someone and deal with SLI jitter just for a modest upgrade?

I am considering opening up a pc gaming lounge in NYC. I was wondering what everyone's thoughts on this are. I would use UHD monitors and high end gaming desktops. I would also offer the ability to use mods and if possible the ability for people to save their games to a server.

Book experience does not mean real world experience.

True but people experience counts. People always spend unnecessarily. The sad truth is all we have to do is be made to BELIEVE that we need good x, and that is sufficient to force a purchase.
Problem being that those rich idios probably have the 4k setups he's counting on them not to have."The sad truth." Don't use that as your company tagline.
So you just admitted your idea is crap and you're counting on rich idiots to line your pockets.
