This could be the biggest generational leap in the 3D era

Was the standard for PS2 not 640x480 like all the other consoles of that generation?

EDIT:
240p for standard PS1 games
480i for high res PS1 and standard PS2
480p support for most ps2 games
720p for one or two games
1080i for GT4

Yes?

For the PS2 resolution I just booted up an emulator and tested a few games. God of War 2 was 512X448 as well as most games. A few less intense games ran at 640X512. Also googled it and got similar results. I can check GT4 if you want.

Hm, strange. The 224p 448i standards were used more in the 4th gen. 5th gen standards changed to 240p 480i. I suppose it's possible that they lowered the resolution in some games to get better graphics out of the PS2, and let the TV stretch it to fit. It would be interesting to see resolution comparisons between earlier and later games as well as lower and higher end graphical games.
