Ditch the consoles and get a PC - If you like graphics?

[JEMC]

While I agree that resolution isn't everything and the quality (and more importantly, fun) of a game can't be measured just by its graphics, there are 2 things that I can't help but comment.

"On a big-screen TV the difference is certainly going to be hard to spot." Actually, it's the other way around. The bigger a TV is, the easier it is to see each pixel and therefore the bigger a TV is, the easier is to notice a difference between 720p and 1080p. Those with +50" TVs will be able to notice it. Hell, maybe even those with +40" TVs will.

"Consoles are about three things: convenience, exclusivity, and the couch. They’re convenient because they simply plug and play. There’s no fuss. All games made for a console simply work without fiddling, drivers updates, and so forth." Does he really play videogames? Because there has been lots of games that required a day 1 patch to work, or had to make some installation before starting to play, etc. The "plug and play" advantage that consoles had, died this last gen.
