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.

Just my opinion, but I don't think the differences are small this time around. Sure, Xbox was faster than PS2, but it didn't use a higher resolution (apart from some crazy exceptions). Now we're seeing a console that not only pushes twice as many pixels but does just that with higher detail, better framerate and whatnot. We didn't see such a disparity in a long while. Maybe PS1 vs N64 was such a case, but the N64 wasn't superior in every aspect (Cartridges!) which is the case with PS4 vs. Xbox One.

The hardware of the PS4 is just superior in EVERY aspect. And what do you know, that leads to better graphics. I still remember people talking about how multiplats will be the same anyway on both consoles because developers will just use the lowest common denominator and blah blah blah. Didn't happen. You want multi-plats, you play PS4. At least last gen I was told there's no way avoiding the 360 if you wanna play mulitplats, because they are THAT MUCH better and stuff. Like 720p vs. 640p at GTA 4. It was a big deal. I guess that is a greater difference than 1080p vs. 720p or something...

Don't get me wrong tough, I don't hate the Xbox or anything, but you can't deny that the arguments are quite funny right now. But to be fair, Sony Fans are also funn at times let alone Ninty Fans. Did you know that Nintendo Fans cared for graphics exacrly until the Wii was announced? What a coincidence...
