and how exactly a native 720p game will look better on a 1080P tv ? doesnt matter big or small tv set
it will still be 720p which means u wont get any more pixels on your huge 1080P tv, heck in fact u migh get a blurry picture which will make the game look like crap, even if it was well upscaled by the tv or the console again its a stretched picture with no more extra details! the only way to see a real difference is to have a native 1080p game running on at least 37inch 1080p Tv.

If a game engine was developed right it would scale correctly, of course the only devs now a days that make truly good engines are Valve, Crytek, DICE, and Epic Games. A 720p game shouldnt have any variably noticable issues till its placed on a TV above 40". Now I do still recommend 32" and below for anything 720p. In the end its all about the ability to scale an image to the correct size without any major graphical glitches. Any PC has the ability to, the consoles should be able to easily do it.

But of course the input feeds for TVs are trash so image bandwidth doesnt equal out with the power of the systems at hand anyways. This is a different issue revolving around TVs. Why couldnt TV manufacturers just put in DVI or DisplayPort connections instead of HDMI? HDMI 1.4 is the only way the cables will ever have the input bandwidth to present 1080p content in their actual glory.
