Well, you would have an argument if what I said wasn't exactly what happened.  Both Nintendo and Xbox fans bickered and boasted about resolution when they though their consoles of choice could easily push.  now, it's "petty and pointless" because they can't.  At least not without gimping the graphics close to a last gen game.  And no one is saying 720p games are crap, but if you can have better graphics AND a higher resolution AND a higher framrate on a cheaper console (when compared to the Xbox One's cost) for the same game and/or exclusives, there's really no argument to be made.

And yet at the same time, what I said is also exactly what happened. Which was the morale of the story.  You can sit and say "well lulz ur just downplaying cuz ur console is weak" or whatever but that creates the equally valid point that you're only making it a big deal now because the disparity exists right now. It's known as the pot calling the kettle black. Or, you're throwing stones in your glass house. etc etc.

And please, "close to a last gen game"? No need for such hyperbole if you were actually making a valid point.

Or maybe you can tell me I am wrong and you actually did not own a PS2 or a PS3 or a GCN or a Wii or a Wii U? Or a PSone or etc etc? I guess it's only this gen that a slight graphics advantage on some games matters. Why? Because that advantage is for your toy of choice. Carry on preaching down to others for being part of that same charade though, toodles.

Slight graphical advantages?  Pushing twice the pixels, with better framerates, better AA, and more particle effects is not slight.  This isn't last gen, where the differences between the 360 and PS3 were slight.  And even if a 360 game came out on top, even if slightly, Xbox fans gloated about it.  Now, that the PS4 is going to come out on top of most, if not all, of these comparisons, "graphics and resolution DON'T MATTER!"  Which again, just proves my point.
