..in less than 1 minutes worth of effort.   google "site:http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com ps3 digital foundry" and you can find dozens of pages of threads dedicated to bickering about mulitplatform performance on ps360.

I'm talking specifically about resolution and only a small portion of those links say anything about resolution in the title. Performance was debated ofcourse, I never claimed that it wasn't. I'm just saying that resolution in particular was no where near as big a deal last gen as it is this gen. I wager that I can find way more articles talking about resolution differences for PS4 vs X1 for this gen than you'd find for X360 vs PS3 last gen.

all of them have resolution in them.  i skipped the threads that didn't.   ..and don't pretend like xbone doesn't have it's fair share of low quality textures, tearing, and frame rate issues on top of the resolution issue.

Well said



And while all the bickering was happening I was just enjoying my games on the Wii.



"I think it will be the HDS"-Me in regards to Nintendo's next handheld.

OP I agree entirely re resolution being nothing more than a blip last gen. Reading comments from people now, I don't know how they got into gaming before the PS4/XB1 because apparently anything that isn't 1080p is an unplayable blurry mess o_O

I actually can't remember any comments at all last gen about resolution or frame rate.


The only times I really remember it was with games like Bayonetta which I agree entirely, the frame rate was double on the 360 and a much better game for it. A few frame drops here and there is negligible. But a solid 60fps vs 30fps makes a huge difference to how the game played and so rightly so the 360 version was trumped as the superior one.

Other than that, most instances were just the really devout fanboys trying to claim any advantage they could over the "enemy".

Honestly, I owned both a 360 and PS3 and barely ever noticed a difference in performance. The only thing that really bothered me were the PS3's insufferable load times. That being said, the difference between the PS4 and XBOne is actually noticeable, especially when it comes to things like frame rate and loading / installation times. The XBOne really feels underpowered to me, especially for its asking price.

I'm sure they all have resolution in them. I'm sure if I ctr-F'd I'd find a couple, but most of those threads are not specifically about resolution. The problem with the current resolution debate is that resolution itself is drowning out all other discussion. Last gen we used to discuss the nitty gritty differences between the multiplats. Now its just... the ps4 version 1080p and the x1 version 720p... and often times that is where the conversation ends. My point still stands... resolution was not a big deal last gen. I've still yet to see evidence that it was anywhere near as talked about as it is this gen.

Last gen PS3 got marginally outperformed and Sony fans went apeshit trying to downplay it. This Gen PS4 marginally outperforms and fans go apeshit overplaying it. Two sides of the same coin.

yes,.. sony Fanboys and their insufferable Double Standards!



That thread talks about fanboys in general, it was a correction from a thread I did about an article that talked about Sony fanboys. I hope you didn't get offended by it Kitler.


I'm sure he is not offended as he's enough mature to understand the article.
