It's more than just a resolution problem ... When you add a viewport you save a little on scene-graph management but it ends up (over-all) taking much more memory, CPU and GPU processing power. I'm not too sure the PS3/XBox 360 has the processing power to handle much of a game with 16 viewports that are active. The other problem is screen real-estate. If you have a 32 inch TV you will have (approximately) 16 8-inch screens to use for split-screen multiplayer; on a TV that size (and with that many people in the room) everyone is probably going to be 8-10 feet away from their screen. There is just too little screen to see what is happening.
