Accroding to some leaked Sony presentation there is not much difference between1080P and 1440P and they will use reconstruction for higher pixels. If PS4.5 can do 1080P 60fps on say high and Xbone2 does the same with 1440P it won't make much difference then. May be they will have couple of settings to ultra instead at 1080P. But if the difference is 100$ Xbone2 will still loose IMO. It is all guessing ATM.

That is funny... in every resolution/fps-discussion over the last 3 years you were always on the resolution side and differences like 900p on XBO vs 1080p on PS4 were a big deal.

But suddenly 1080p or 1440p "won't make much difference" because Sony allegedly said so? Even on big 1080p TVs you will probably see the difference (downsampling from 1440p to 1080p instead of shitty FXAA), on big 4k TVs the difference should be huge.

 

That was the presentation meant for devs who will be developing for PS4.5 aka Neo. For me 1080P is ideal and I do not see myself in getting 4K TV anyime soon. The way I see it price will be the factor between Xbone2 and PS4 Neo. If the difference is 50$ then may be it is not too bad to pay for more pixels But if Sony can undercut it by 100$ then PS4Neo is going to kill it. Because PS4 neo will be capable of doing 1080P with 60fps. Xbone has got so much hate because of 720P, 900P and dynamic res. People have moved to full HD now.

Microsoft is in a tricky position how they will sell a high end console. I am not sure they can pull by a PS4 by selling a console which is 40% more power and still cost same. I expect Xbone2 to be a chunky console. They will do well to integrate the power supply inside it.
