With the release of the XBox One and PS4 alot has been discussed about the resolution of each platform and game released and the FPS. 

Having read the following article regarding issue's on recently released Thief

http://www.craveonline.com/gaming/articles/650465-thief-ps4s-low-framerate-is-proof-that-1080p-isnt-always-the-answer

TLDR: game has poor framerate on both consoles, consistently dropping to 15 fps on PS4 and even mentioned going into single digits, he states he believes the XBox One version to have an edge due to a slightly better performing FPS compared to the PS4 version. Which is likely due to the PS4 running at a higher resolution.

Anyway, it seems at least for the foreseeable future neither console will be capable of out putting 1080p while maintaining a good fps. I wont argue that there isnt a difference between a 1080p and 720p image (I tried that and failed) however I would argue that (at least to me) the difference is small to the eye and when playing a game I cant say I notice a difference (I play on a 42" screen and dont sit too far away). But I do notice is the fps, and would rather play a game at a higher one than lower.

So I just wanted to see how other people felt about this.

Lets say for sake of argument, all games that are released on these consoles the developers have to make a choice, either 1080p or 60 fps, if they cant do both and only do one which is more important to you?
