Pixels and numbers don't really relate to better graphics for me. I just dont notice it. I'm not surprised by the poll results, people have made such a big fuss over resolution but its hardly noticable in screenshots or in motion.

Last gen, the difference in textures, shadows, lighting etc was the real kicker. For me the difference is night and day bewteen most 360 games and ps3 games.

I don't get it. Those same differences you mentioned for last gen exist this time, as well, which just happen to also be accompanied by big res differences (something that didn't happen very often last gen). The omissions are head-scratchers, here. 

I think the problem is the pundits have put so much emphasis on res being the biggest diff that most gamers without research would not know other discrepancies exsit. Its not like every gamer has both syw and bys both games to compare.
