I would much rather see a game in 1080p still. It's just hard to tell what resolution a game is in the first time I see it is what I mean. I'd notice if I got on battlefield 4 and it was at lower than 1080p. 720p basically just looks like something has been rubbed all of the screen. And by the way, the difference between 1080 and 720 is almost the exact same ratio as 720 vs 480.

And as I said in my OP, higher resolution is obviously preferable. If I have both PS4 and X1, I would likely get the multiplat game that looks shaper and/or runs smoother.

Now you're implying you can easily tell when you're looking at 720p or 1080p. Perahps you've trained your eyes well, but you're not the average consumer.

Guessing if you're looking at 720p, 900p, or 1080p is difficult. But 480p is clear as day.

I acknowledge that Im not the same as the average consumer. But the difference is still very clear and apparent.
