It really depends on sizes of screen. To make certain resolutions worth it you need certain size screen for your eye to resolve. There is not much point making tiny screens with HD. |
DIstance away from screen is another important factor as well. The most common estimate I've seen is that for a screen of about 5 inches, if you are a foot away, anything above 280-300 ppi will not be very noticeable for text, images, and movie playback (for games it should be even less.). So for a 5 inch screen that is about 720p. Now, I can see Nintendo making their screen bigger than that if they ditch the dual screen design. In my opinion, 540p would be the best price/performance for NIntendo if they stick with a 4-5 inch screen that they're using for the 3DS, currently. The Vita's screen still looks great with that resolution.
