This doesn't really mean much. The PS3 and 360 are capable of 1080p, but it completely depends on how the games are developed and designed. 720p with lots of bump mapping, shader and lighting effects or 1080p with with minimal effects.

Refer to my comment abut Arkhym City. It means quite a bit.

Was that running on WiiU? Obviously, based on current PC hardware, current gen games look and run significantly better, but when new tech comes out, everything will be pushed a bit further with new effects. It has to be noted that Arkham City is Unreal Engine 3 (albeit with some DX11 standard effects) whereas next gen games will almost certainly be using new engines designed to incorporate a wide array of modern techniques.

Anyway, the point still stands. If developers end up developing for more powerful hardware (e.g. PC or if the next MS/Sony consoles are significantly more powerful than WiiU) then "1080p without breaking a sweat" becomes "1080p with compromises" or even "720p with incredible effects". Being able to do 1080p doesn't mean much when other advances are taken into consideration.

Way to take things out of context to the extremes. Now tell me something I am not aware of.
