Yeah, I was wondering what the go was there. With so many PS2 games (including GT4 itself) failing to hit even true 480p, 1080i seemed a bridge too far.

For years people keep bringing up GT4's supposed 1080i resolution to try to make PS2 look better compared to Gamecube and Wii, but it always felt fishy.

Because people don't make the distinction between rendered resolution and output resolution.

Like the days when people thought 720p/sub-HD PS360 games were 1920x1080 because it said on the back of the box that they "supported" 1080p. 

Hell, several of my friends were taken aback recently when I informed them that PS4 Pro didn't play all or even most games in true 4K. One of them heard a misleading ad in EB Games tell them it would "play all your favourite games in stunning 4K" and took their word for it. (Which to be fair wasn't entirely his fault; very dishonest marketing there)
