I think you guys are missing the critical points about the resolution. Its not mainly about if you can tell the difference, or if you have a TV take can make a difference.
With all else equal, & you have a TV capable, why would you want to to run a game with a lower resolution, when you have a choice of a higher resolution one.
Even more critical, is that a sign that one system is clearly better than the other? By making your game 720p when the other other is able to run at 1080p, surely means the same game have problem running at same resolution.
Of course there can be valid reasons, like the tools on one system are not yet optimise, and whatsoever. But to bring up the concern about the power difference is very valid.
I know this is at its core an XBOX site, but I feel that many people here just cannot seems to accept that there is a possibility, & a reasonable one, that your system of choice is the inferior one, as far as performance, maybe not much, but it exist. It could means lower resolution in some games, blurrier textures, less effects, or even more choppy framerates in others. Remember Skyrim on PS3. Is it not a valid point to want a more stable, maybe better looking version?
Some forumers bring up these very valid concerns, but are bring down by others, or brushed away. Maybe in the end, MS can bring the tools up to a level comparable with PS4, but that is a '?' mark.
If people say, yeah, maybe in the end, some games on XBOX will still run at lower resolution, or less pretty compare to PS4. Its not an issue for me, I can live with XBOX being less powerful, but I prefer XBOX for game due to so & so.
This is a fair statement, but to make it sound like there is no performance difference to produce 1080p vs 720p is just being bias in my opinion.
If I get an xbox, of course I hope the performance is as good as PS4, but at least, I am mentality prepare to get the 'inferor' version of a game, performance wise. If that is not the case, I will however not spend time arguing with people about inferior visuals, or say that I have poor eyesight, so I cannot tell them apart.
In a nutshell, its a fair point to say differences in resolutions doesn't matter to you, but its another thing to deny that there might be a performance difference between the system. But until then, I will wait for official reply from MS, or the developers.
