Yeeeah, don't really see why anyone should be mad about this either. o.o Like vivster, I think commending them is a bit strong a word, given it isn't exactly done to help the third-party devs so much as it is to try and put this Resolution disparity thing to rest once and for all. But at the same time, it's hardly unique to Microsoft, and nothing at all to be critical about.
I will note that, IF (and I believe that someone at Microsoft denied this, so it is an if) Microsoft has been strongly pushing for devs to try and hit 1080p, then it does kind of fly in the face of their 'Oh, it doesn't matter, nobody would notice the difference anyway' insistence, back when titles weren't hitting it. But that's just the way of any company- focus on your positives, downplay your negatives- so it isn't even really notable or worth getting 'angry about.' End of the day, regardless of Microsoft's aims or interests in sending their teams to assist, be it hitting a specific goal or just 'squeezing out as much juice as you can,' the end result is shinier, sharper games for gamers, so that's a win. :3
