ok somebody stop be if I have the wrong Idea but Jimbo says he's been playing 1080p for 4 years on PC.

Were all the games released in PC native 1080p?
Does changing the PC's settings change the native resolution of a game?
Or isn't that basically the same thing as upscaling to 1080p like the xbox one does automatically?

PC's for over a decade have been capable of playing games at native 1080P.
There are only three things required in order for it to work.
1) Display that supports it.
2) Hardware to maintain the performance.
3) The software/games to support it.

The PC can upscale, a large portion of monitors also have upscalers as well as the GPU's themselves.
However when you select a game like the origional Halo: Combat Evolved, you have a maximum resolution of 1600x1200. (Or some such.)
If you edit Halo's Configuration file (Or add -w1920 -h1080 into the shortcut) it will run at full 1080P without any upscaling.

Games don't need to be natively run at 1080P to benefit from 1080P, it's only a resolution, there is no special work for it to magically happen and for you to see benefits from it.
