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.

I believe people forget the Sage called Carmack who pretty much predicted how this new gen will end up turning out.  Yes, developers and the new consoles can definitely do 1080P/60FPS.  The key as we see with release games is the importance on those 2 parameters compared to what the developer want to do within the game.

What I want to see is if upscaled does 900p really make that much of a difference in IQ.  When all is said and done, the fanboys can argue about what consoles can do what but if the IQ is not compromised enough to make a difference, not sure if the general public will care.
