Civ Rev was in 720p with rediculous safety margins because it had to work on HD Ready CRT, 720p, 768p and 1080p panels all with different ways of scaling.
The new consoles can display the game at 1080p. 1080p tvs nowadays have a dot by dot mode or native resolution mode, no need for huge overscan margins. Same with readability, much better in 1080p. Launch games have already started using small fonts. Sit closer if your tv isn't big enough.
