Why aren’t PS4 and Xbox One titles hitting 1080p?

These new systems are mid-range PC's. There is nothing special or magical about them. I do think they'll be hitting 1080p at 60fps for many games like Wii U is now, but it takes some programming time and skill. As far as 4K goes, it's pointless for all but the largest of TVs at the closest of distances. The human eye can't really pick up the difference. It's more important for game developers to focus on detailed, beautiful worlds than higher resolution beyond 1080p.

Nothing "special" or "magical" about high-end PCs either. They're just more capable. Through-and-through, the thread title and opening sentence make little sense, when all three next gen machines have games running in 1080p, with the exceptional oddballs. 

Nobody ever suggested there was with a PC.

What they mean by special is doing more with less. Of course the PC doesnt need to do that because its always got more but some people believe they are actually getting something far superior or equal to a high end PC and all for only 400.00

Its like suggesting that for 20,000. I get the same performance as a 100,000.00 sports car. Its not going to happen.

For someone who tries to come off as a PC tech guy, you do a lot to try to bring the platform down.
