Hell, many 480p Wii games still look beautiful I reckon.

Resolution doesn't matter much. As long as I can't see the difference from my couch between 720p and 1080p I don't care in the slightest.

Not for long, the difference is night and day:

At least Antonio is full-motion-video on the XBO. I'd rather have that.


Check the frame rate on that XBO!

Because judging by this forum the past few days, people, shockingly, can't see the difference between 720P and 1080P, and games still look beautiful in 720P in their eyes.


Should the ability to distinguish between 720/1080 preclude you from seeing a beautiful game in 720?

Neither should your preference towards one company obstruct you from raising your standards higher and expect a beautiful game fully rendered in 1080p 60fps. That's what you expect from a dedicated next generation console that their PR claimed to be beta tested in the future. 

Hopefully, the people who buy XB's this gen has a better reason to do so than simple brand loyalty.

As a minimum 720p isn't bad. Of course, I prefer 1080p and have the option as a primarily PC gamer. However; if I wanted resources to be used elsewhere, I wouldn't mind a smaller resolution in some games.

Yes, anything 40ish" and above is very noticeable.

I'm sure the exclusives will look great and play great enough to justify a purchase, I myself will probably get one several years down the line. I'm just lashing out at several of them blindly defending microsoft PR's dishonesty, they are being irresponsible towards their fellow consumers.

Forever, the human eye can´t see any diference beyond 720p, 24FPS and 256 colors. Video game technology has been maxed out already its a fact.
