Neither PS4 nor Xbox One will have a native 1080p baseline.
We went through the same thing back in 2006 with the PS3; in the end, many developers will choose to sacrifice resolution for better effects, materials, textures, etc.
This is why many 360/PS3 games weren't even 720p native. In fact, many high profile games like COD, Crysis 2, Halo 3, Splinter Cell Conviction, Alan Wake, and the PS3 versions of GTA4 and Bioshock weren't.
Many gamers won't even notice the difference between 720p and 1080p, much less 900p and 1080p. So devs will spend the power on things they will notice instead, or just not spend the extra time and money to optimize for 1080p.

These next gen consoles clearly have way more bandwidth and pixel output at their disposal compared to the PS360U so there is no excuse for why they can't have 1080p and that especially goes for the PS4.

On PS4, only one game is confirmed sub 1080, it is Battlefield 4 (the order is  a special case). All first party games are confirmed 1080p (or 1080p IQ for the  order) and all multiplat (so far) are rumored (by developers tweets etc) 1080p.

Even on XOnes some games are confirmed 1080p (Forza and COD) and I don't doubt that others will follow as probably a lot of indie games will be 1080p.

So I think your "Neither" is a lot preposterous.

whats 1080 IQ?


1080p Image Quality.

 could explain the difference? 


Yes, and here we go. I don't care about any dev-talk or this crap. Oh, game is 1080p? Fine. It has no AA? Fuck off. Really, 1080p has nothing to do with good IQ, in my opinion. What 1080p IQ will mean we have to see but I doubt it's native 1080p. Furthermore it is currently only an argument in fanboy wars, nothing more, nothing less. And also remember how GT5 was 1080p and not full-hd which some people here seem to confuse.
