Digital Foundry never said it was 720p, that was a rumor caused by an article over on Eurogamer (and then spread by other sites).

Several other reviewers have also mentioned that the game is 720p, while also giving the game a good score (before you try to claim they are part of this great big conspiracy of yours).

DF have praised the parts of the game worth praising (such as the lighting and performance) and were also disspointed by other areas such as the resolution and lack of AA. Their analysis was incredibly fair and well thought out. People are just rather sensitive since this news hurts their agenda that the WiiU is some kind of super computer.

If that's true then it is what it is.  But I won't believe them (DF).  The Wii U is not a computer.  It doesn't have a mouse or fax machine.  It does have eDRAM.

I'm sure if they'd said it was 1080p you'd believe them ^^; and no, the WiiU isn't technically a computer, but it is built with computer parts.

And yeah, it has eDRAM. So did the PS2; eDRAM alone is nothing special. 

Mark Cerny (the lead architect for the PS4) even stated that they purposely decided not to include eDRAM in the PS4 because it makes development more difficult. You should really read up on the things you're claiming to be so great ^^

You can read exactly why they chose not to here in an interview with him: http://techon.nikkeibp.co.jp/english/NEWS_EN/20130401/274313/?P=2
