A lot of the games do go to 1080p, just do what I did and disable 720 output on the HDMI settings (R&C, Dead Space etc, but some are native 1080 like GT5:P)
Most of this can be blamed on the developers though.

i dunno actually, theres many that include 1080p upscaled, and a few that are native 1080p

and theres also many that are 720p only, its more of a developer thing actually.

Depends on the developers.. If a developer wants to shift the systems resources to more advanced lighting and AI for example then the resolution may be toned down and vice versa..

All depends on what the developer wants from the game..

Its because the 360 is holding it back! Even on exclusive titles this is always true.



Tease.

It's because of the power of the Cell, eh, RSX.

It's because Sony overpromised on the PS3. There wouldn't have been an issue with 720 (which is fine) if mr. Hirai didn't tell stupid things like: "The most amzing blah blah, 4D blah blah, will blow everything you ever seen away blah blah.

Fact is that the PS3 just can't handle it if there is loads of stuff happening on screen.

Because most HDTV's out there now only support 720p. There is more 720p HDTV's than 1080p. Wouldn't it make since for a developer to only incorporate 720p games?

Because the more '?'s you add to a question, the more Sony forces developers to cut down on resolution.

 no you are all wrong...

Ps3 does not upscale which 360 does. So just because it says 1080p on 360 it just means that its native 720p but its upscaled. There is no difference what so ever.

Both systems are native 720p
there is a list of games that are 1080p and ps3 has way more.
I will find a link

And that is not a fact whats so ever as both systems can do 1080p.

 

edit: heres a link that states there are about 3 native 1080p games on 360 (but microsoft says on the box 1080p because it upscales from 720p as Sony puts on the  the native resulotion on the box because it does not upscale)

http://www.makeyougohmm.com/xbox360-1080p-games/

its clear more games on ps3 are native 1080p which you can see a difference from 720p or upscaled 720p
