That is the only reason so many of you seem so hung up on the fact that there was a greater leap at launch as opposed to now. At the moment we're not pushing for a new image resolution standard, as HD is good enough for most anything. Otherwise, Jak and Daxter on the PS2 looked a lot better than almost anything out at launch for the PS3. |
Actually we are. Most console games last generation were sub-720p, most console games this generation are 900p-1080p. Not to mention the improvements in image quality through anti-aliasing techniques.
480p = 307,200 pixels
720p = 921,600 pixels
900p= 1,440,000 pixels
1080p = 2,073,600 pixels
The "HD" branding was just deceptive. There was a difference in rendering resolution and image quality with almost every generation. "HD" branding was only there because HD Televisions were the next big thing at the time.
