CoD4 is 600P?!?!?

I think you got it wrong with regard to FullHD, Sony stated the PS3 will do games up to 1080p (meaning 1080 horizontal progressively scanned lines) and a Microsoft Exec reponded they thought it would be impossible. Metal Gear Solid 4, Gran Turismo 5 and Final Fantasy XIII will all be impressively performing high profile 1080p games.

Sony beginning of 2006:

"The PlayStation 3 will include BluRay , the high definition DVD technology, and support games in resolutions of up to 1080p, (the highest supported standard on the market.)"

Microsoft in repsonse (March 2006):

"I think 1080p, just to address that directly, will be basically impossible. I think if you talk to any developer they will tell you that they will not have a performing game at 1080p."

In hindsight it's easy to see who's right and who's wrong. Your comments with regard to Microsoft are correct, but I think those with regard to Sony is just a myth judging from the text above.

Gran Turismo will not be 1080p natively. It is upscaled from an odd resolution. It will be interesting to see if they can pull off true 1080p in MGS4 but at this point, I think it's unlikely. Honestly, I don't think either system has the hardware to pull off native 1080p in a large environment, which is why we're seeing "lesser" games at 1080p and nothing else. There hasn't been a major release - PS3 or 360 - that runs at 1920x1080 natively.

So, in short, it appears that MS was right about that and Sony has been the one blowing smoke up your ass. Hate to break it to you.
