Unless you provide data to back that up (for example, quotes from this forum), this is talking completely out of your ass

I have yet to see anyone that connects "1530p" (whatever that even is, perhaps coming from the same place like the other statement) or "1800p" with the Xbox One S but enlighten us with where you are basing that off because otherwise this is intential generalizing to heat up a discussion where it's not needed.

I've seen instances of people believing the Pro and X1S are comparable because they're both 'up-scaling to 4k' (this more on reddit than here), but even then it'd be an exaggeration to say they make up the majority of any group. 

On a side note, 1530p is just a rounding of 2x1080p (it's about 0.3% off), which, to the best of my knowledge, is the minimum resolution needed to properly utilize checkerboard 4k. 1800p is 4k's 900p equivalent, which appears to be the standard native target.

 

As to my knowledge, there is no "1530p" and I doubt we will ever see that resolution in any game.

"The Cell is a thousand times faster than any other chip! Please buy a PS3."

Console marketing business as usual. But interesting that so many people who never had the slightest interest to buy a MS console anyway talk about it

I don't really understand what's interesting about that. Why do you have to want to own something to enjoy discussing it? The Scorpio is borderline redundant to me (my PC is already considerably stronger than even the most optimistic Scorpio spec predictions, and thanks to MS's W10 initiative i'll be able to run their own games at higher performance rates than the Scorpio), but it's still fun to talk about. I've never bought an AMD card either, but i still talk about them in great detail on reddit all the time. Hell, I've had several long and very enjoyable conversations here on VGC about the tech in racing sims like Forza and GT, yet i still find them mind-numbing to play.

Really though, comments like this don't serve much purpose other than to "heat up a discussion where it's not needed." as you put it in another comment. We could likewise say it's 'interesting' that many Xbox fans who previously actively mocked resolution differences and discussions are suddenly jumping at the opperunity to join in, or point out the reverse for many PlayStation fans. Doing so really doesn't accomplish much though. 

 

Yeah, my bad for not explaining that further, of course you can't read my mind in any way.

It's not the actual fact that some people are participating but the way they do so. What I am wondering is why you say that others do that, too - it's a known fact that this is just usual behaviour

As you should know, I always like to participate in technical discussions so I know both sides and know the way they are behaving and posting. I am just the unpleasant person who often calls bullshit when people exaggerate or make false assumptions or talk bullshit in general.

If my post has heated up the discussion, I don't know but I don't really see that, considering how this thread started and seems to come to an end.
