I'd bet you a dollar to a doughnut that it's a hardware issue, rather than a business decision.

This would be a good time for MikeB to jump in and tell is whether or not the PS3 has a hardware scaler.

 

 

No need  I'm a psychic and I read MikeB's mind, here's his indesputable factual opinion on the matter:

-The powr of Th3 Cell in the PS3 lets it scale to any resolution ever created by mankind

-Th3 Cell is so powerful the PS3 doesn't even need a TV, it transmits straight to your brain

-The C3ll is so amazing the PS3 fought Chuck Norris and won!

I would go on but it gets kind of disturbing after that

 

You had me 'till "Chuck Norris" - no way the Cell could beat the Chuck...

 



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

Oh yea my bad, what I meant to say was:

-Through the power of Th3 Cell, Bruce Lee, Jet Li, Jackie Chan and Tony Jaa where able to have intercourse and create a super baby who then proceeded to kick Chucks butt.

whats the big deal? Wii gamers deal with 480p on a daily basis. live with 720p and lots more games are starting to support 1080 such as CoD4, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, and more to come

you missed the point the tv in question does not support 720p, only 1080i and below, 1080i is a lesser rate than 720p if you did not know. also the op is mildly pissed because the 360 supports all resolutions through gpu scaling, where the ps3 marketed as a better solution it does not

1080i is 1920x1080@30fps displayed as alternating odd/even fields for a 60Hz effect. 720p is 1280x720@60fps. Do the math. 1080i is technically superior to 720p.

Sure most people won't have this problem, but it still sucks.



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
