1080p, 720, 60 frames per second, 30 frames... ok I got it that measuring pixels and refresh rate on your tv is important, but you know...

 

Is the gamepad 480p screen processing running on unicorn tears ?

 

Am I the only one who thinks that, if a game on wii u runs at 720p@30fps on tv, plus 480p@30fps on the gamepad (when pushing a 3D scene like zombiu) should then be considered a 1200p@60fps, adding all processing together, for common sense sake ? 

Of course if the gamepad is displaying just 2D stuff, only the tv should be considered.

No, someone who thought that would suck at math. As 480p has 307200, and 720p displays 921600 pixels (720p=1280x720). Resoltions are shorthand for what the true resolution. So, if you add those two together, you get 1,228,800. That may sound like a lot, until you look at  1200p, which is 1920x1080, which is 2,304,000 pixels, or almost double the resolution. What you're suggesting would be closer to 768p. Also not to mention, that 480p screen is usually running stuff like minimaps. How about before you make a stupid argument, you actually know what you're talking about.
