For one company seperating itself from the Wii because it is HD and another company seperating itself from its competition by saying that the 360 isn't even full HD, it looks a little hypocritical to see them running their games with 66% as much resolution as the lowest HD spec.

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 a myth reading judging by reading the text above.

But that just proves one man's belief of the capabilities is wrong. It does not prove the 360 cannot handle the same resolution as the PS3, assuming that was one of your inferences here.

It wasn't some Microsoft noob making these comments, it was Scott Henson, Director Game Technology Group Microsoft! IMO at the time just FUD geared towards Sony and the PS3, knowing it would take some time to adjust legacy game engines to suit the SPEs.

Doesn't matter if it was to put down Sony. My point was that it is not proof the 360 can't do the same resolution.
