I'm just going to say one thing about this whole resolution difference argument and then I'm done. It was never about whether 1080p was better than 900p when it first reared its ugly head, it was an indication of which console was more powerful. I've watched this evolve and transmute over the two years into something completely different. The reason PS4 owners would point out the resolution differences was because XB1 owners constantly denied there was any difference in power, and to this day some still do. Even after the first batch of games came out and the PS4 had the edge, they would simply say it was because developers never had the latest drivers/tools. Then when that passed it turned to potential and we had 'secret sauce', 'cloud' and 'Direct X 12'. This dragged it on even longer and so PS4 fans continued pointing out the resolution differences as proof the PS4 was stronger than the XB1. Because the argument could no longer be won and the weight of proof was so big,  a lot of XB1 fans started saying the PS4 fans were obsessed with resolution. It was a way of switching blame ... and here we are today with Sony fanboys just jumping on the resolution bandwagon in it's shallowest form and XB1 owners continuing. That is the history of this debate. It was never about which is best given what the devs were trying to accomplish, it was about proof of power. Putting the power argument to one side, I still stand by what I said at the beginning of this gen:

1080p/60fps (perfection)
1080p/30fps (acceptable)
900p/60fps (acceptable)

History has been rewritten though and it will always now be seen as PS4 owners gloating (which in some respects it has)
