This generations obession with resolution is bordering on the moronic.

Newsflash, high resoltion has nothing to do with how good a game looks. Thats more based on colour pallete, lighting, art direction then having more tiny squares. Not to mention gameplay is king anyway.

While I agree the focus on resolution is getting out of hand you can't say it has nothing to do with how good a game looks - it is a major factor in how good a game will look depending upon the relationship to the resolution and the display.

Game assets, art direction, lighting, etc. will make a huge difference in whether the game looks attractive or not - no doubt about it - but they can be both enhanced or scuppered by resolution.

but if they are not tiling 720p frames into the daughter chip there is no reason that it shouldn't have 4xmsaa... that would be a reasonable trade off
