Of course it can. If they're being held back by the CPU, yet still achieving 900p, then if they took the time to offset tasks to the GPU (which will obviously have rather a lot of power floating around if it's the CPU they're stuck at), then 1080p shouldn't be an issue.

To be honest the X1 version should be able to achieve 1080p with the same method.

They were specifically talking about frame rate is being limited by CPU.  

Resolution isn't affected by the CPU so much.  

I know, but i'm giving them the benefit of the doubt that they've honestly maxed out the CPU to the point they can't even properly utilize the GPU in a traditional manner. I'd rather think they were lazy rather than being outright shitty :p Wishful thinking, i know.

Definitely possible. The CPU is the weakest link in all three current gen systems, so it makes sense it would be the first part to bottleneck, necessitating the GPGPUs to step in and help at the cost of graphical oomph.
