The only options are/were

1) Make the PS360 more powerful and expensive. Which if done would have killed both consoles off as quick as the dreamcast.

2) Make games more efficient - this is not really an option for most devs, they simply aren't good enough. Even if they are, it then takes more time and money to develop a game, so games would be $70, or more devs would have gone bust.

3) Reduce graphical effects - yeah, this makes sense, make a game look much worse in order to allow you to make it look slightly better. Graphical effects and framerate are much more important than resolution anyway

I agree with all of this. But that doesn't make this article any less invalid.

Accidental double negative?

 

Anyway, I don't think this article is all that valid really. If you were expecting that either console could (easily, ie it can be done, if a really good dev team spends many years) produce games in 60hz, 1080p with hella good graphical effects, then you were expecting too much. Perhaps because you took Sony and MS execs at face value - this is obviously a rookie error, it is their job to deceive you.
