Going to 1080p is not going to massively alter the development cost.

It's not like PC games cost way more because they support 5-6 different resolutions.

My guess is if you're using the TV screen + the Wii U display (which requires a second frame buffer), 720p is about the max you can get from the machine unless you are displaying very basic graphics.

If I reworded it the way you did, I would be confused too.

I would hope so.....

Then I would llike to know how Arkham City: Armored Edtion runs at 1080p 60fps on both the tv and controller at once while the PS3 and 360 version ran at 720p 30fps.

720p to 1080p is a huge improvement and not a marginal one. at least if you have a big tv and don't sit 10 meters away or if you play on a pc monitor sitting only away like you do playing pc games on it. i don't understand how people always think there is no big difference. yes many sit too much away from their screen to see huge differences but people should sit closer then to have a much greater feeling.

with 1080p i sit closer to my screen than playing console games in 720p and that makes a huge difference. the feeling is much better with a bigger picture and i can see all details much better because they are bigger then. but if i would sit so close with 720 it would look not very good that's why i have to sit back then. otherwise i could say there is no big difference between 320p and 720p, i just have to go back more with 320p^^

so, there is a huge difference but many wouldn't recognize it because of their distance to the screen.

but even if games won't run in 1080p if they could, games can look much better than because the power they don't use for that can be used for other stuff not possible on 360/ps4 running on 720p then.

This doesn't really mean much. The PS3 and 360 are capable of 1080p, but it completely depends on how the games are developed and designed. 720p with lots of bump mapping, shader and lighting effects or 1080p with with minimal effects.

Always glad to read about how powerful the wiiU can be as it sends my mind flying in how much the 720PSFourth are going to destroy.

Refer to my comment abut Arkhym City. It means quite a bit.

The Zelda demo seemed pretty awesome, so srsly i don't think there's anything to worry about.

That's not impressive.
