| Mr Puggsly said: Resolution matters in the sense better is preferable. But the difference between 720p and 1080p is not significant enough to the average consumer. We've never seen the masses move to a platform solely for graphics. PS4 is successful for getting the price right and having strong software. |
While the difference between 1080p and 720p is perhaps not big enough to largely sway the average consumer, when coupled with the cheaper price it becomes a big deal. Being $100 less than the X1 helps Sony sell PS4's, being $100 cheaper and giving a "better experience" not only adds value to the PS4, it detracts value from the X1.
Regardless, i'd always put in-game fidelity ahead of resolution. I'd say give it a couple of years and the resolution of 1st party games on both will be about the same. I'd rather 900p/30fps with extra in-game polish than 1080p/30-60fps. Imagine how much nicer Killzone:SF would have looked :/
