There will be PS4 and Xbox One games coming out in 2017 that run below 1080p. :P

On consoles released in 2013 that will probably be replaced by 2018-2019 and that will cost around 250$ or below by the end of this year.

NX launch is early 2017, thinking abount playing at 720p in 2020+ just saddens me. Well, unless Nintendo start releasing new consoles every 2-3 years, who knows.

 

Nintendo: I've already cut the resolution to 720p. Pray I don't cut it any further.

720p with better graphic and frame-rate, always



720 with better detail



If NX is a handheld, no way it will have 1080p screen, even high-end smartphone with 1080p or even 4k screen only use for video and photo, game run at 720p at best, try to make them run at 1080p or above will make the battery barely last 30 minutes, 1080p screen are wasted



If the NX maintains 720p as it's primary standard, i honestly might just not buy it. Games don't suddenly become bad at 720p, but my gaming time is already very limited (i'd guess i only get to play 1 out of every 2 or 3 major releases i'm excited for). If i have to choose between Nintendo games and those i'm already currently missing out on, but the former requires me to buy yet another console and play those games at an IQ standard that pushed me to move to PC 6+ years ago, then the latter becomes the obvious pick for me.

It seems that some people here are not aware fact that most of Nintendo Wii U games are 720p/60fps and even some are 1080p, and they are looking great and don't have performance problems, so it wouldn't have any sense to me after Wii U to go again with 720p graphics especially if NX really is at least around 3x stronger than Wii U when 1080p is very achievable with hardware like that for Nintendo games.

So I would go with 1080p, NX will most likely have enough power for little improved and with AA Nintendo Wii U games running at 1080p.

Imagine Zelda BotW running at 1080p with some improved graphics and with locked 30fps.

I do still have a Wii U though, So I guess entry price point is going to be a huge deciding factor.



I don't care whether it's 1080p or 720p as long as the price reflects the tech they use. I don't want to pay £250-300 for gimmicks or just a brand name.

Well if you consider to buy NX only for Zelda BotW than it's tough call. I expecting price point for NX around $250.



Handheld 720p is fine... but for TV mode it should be targeting 1080p.... it's 2017 for goodness sake.
