ok so ps3 has THE MOST 1080p games on the market and thats a bad thing?

Then lemme ask some questions:

Why isnt gears 60 players online?

Why isnt halo 1080p?

Why is GT5 1080p and not forza?

Why is little big planet 720p?

Here is the answer

Because some devs had a choice to spend time on gameplay or 1080p or online features. They CHOOSE to make the games that way and in MOST cases (not all) it has nuthin to do with the system they created it on.

So in short (to answer the op) the devs are lazy and the ps3 is hard to make games for so they made a choice not to make it in 1080p. its not that the ps3 (or 360) can not handle it because there are games that prove that they can.

 

The issue is choose, as you said it yourself. PS3 can't run everything the devs would want it to, so they are forced to do tradeoffs between resolution/polycount/effects/framerate etc. So, in order to get the best detail out of it, the devs take the route of lower resotion, since it's the least noticeable tradeoff. CoD4 runs on 600p, GTA4 620p etc. Even one of Sonys own flagships, GT5, isn't running on standard 1080p, since i'd recall it has resolution of 1280x1080.

And the reason why people see this as a problem, is because Sony promised "full HD" for people, which of course would be possible, but then it would lose graphically to 720p games on 360 (and M$ never promised more than 720p resolution).

well this is what im talking about. i never said it can run EVRYTHING. im arguing the fact that people said it can't do it at all. and it has in its 1st year.
