Because all of the haters in VG forums have demanded 1080p or they won't buy it. Like I said, now people are complaining that M$ helped Blizzard achieve 1080p.

Well the only people who can credibly threaten not to buy a Xbox One game are people who own xbox one. So how are they haters? And the only people who can credibly threaten not to buy a Xb one are people who actually are considering buying a Xb one, again how can such people be haters?
And for those who own more than one platform it makes sense to buy the version of a game that has the best performance specs. It's not the only factor in deciding which version to buy, but all other things being equal people will buy the game that performs best.
It's not haters that are driving demands for resolution parity. It's MS being used to having the best performing console versions of games for the past 2 generations being hypersensitive to no longer being able to claim that crown. And the fact is resolution is normally stated on game cases, whereas frame rate is not. So achieving resolution parit. At the expense of a small frame rate compromise (not parody or parrot) means there's no differentiation on the game case. Whereas a resolution difference with same frame rate means there is a point of difference on the game case, in favour of the PS4 version. And The reason resolution is ofbthe game case and fps is not is because resolution is always locked whereas framers is often variable. So if you put 60fps on the game case and you get dips then you run the risk of frivolous lawsuits over false advertising.
