This comparison/argument has been rendered essentially pointless as any game that actually pushes the visual envelope on either hardware won't run at a native 1920x1080p anyway. With the exception of games like Wipeout HD and GT5, most 1080p console games are PSN/XBL games or games with small playing levels (sports games) and fewer on screen models.
You will never see a hardware pushing game like Uncharted 3 or Gears 3 running at 1080p native render as neither have the GPU memory or processing power.
The only noticeable difference for the most part is the fact that the PS3 renders its menus at 1080p and the Xbox renders at 720p upscaled to 1080p giving them a softer appearance that most haven't even noticed.

you are pretty much spot on except that GT5 isnt 1080p
|
1080p means the vertical resolution is 1080 pixels high with progressive scan, you know that full well.
GT5's resolution is 1280 x 1080 and in progressive scan. GT5 is thus a 1080p game. ^_-
But it is not what people refer as FULL HD (1920 x 1080).
|
no... it really isnt.
1080p refers to 1920x1080 (the 1920 matters as part of the definition)
the 1080p DOES NOT just refer to the vertical resolution....
|
Because you say so?
What you mention is the 1080p resolution of a 16:9 display. Other shapes of displays can be 1080p, while being of different width.
|
no, becuase the industry says so. 1080p is 1920 x 1080
|
Yeah, the industry says so to standardize for the regular joe. Doesn't make the actual meaning behind it go away, which I already explained.
