By parity i assume he means how 1080p is a consistent standard for PS4 exclusives but not X1 exclusives. I believe The Order is the only exception, but that's a whole different can of worms. The only sub-1080p PS4 exclusive yet it will have the best image quality of them all 
That's what i'm guessing he meant anyway. Outside of that i can't think of another context for the word "parity" that makes any sense :p

you are wrong!

Is there another sub-1080p game i don't know about? Or are you including the black bars?
If it's the latter then it's only "full 1080p" on a technically. Including the bars the final image is indeed 1920 x 1080, but the game itself is 1920 x 800.
I previously though it was simply a tactic to reduce to the resource cost, but it's pretty obvious now it was an actual design choice. They didn't simply cut the top and bottom off, they've actually extended the horizontal render region. That along with the 4xMSAA essentially negates any benefit the lower render resolution would provide.
