Xbox 360 games in 1080p?

Looks like M$ is getting desperate to outdo the PS3.

Upscaling existing games in 720p to 1080p is a horrible idea, not to mention some of them already stuggle to keep soild framerates.

The 360 isnt built to handle 1080p. I just dont know what M$ is trying to accomplish.

MS is trying too hard to try and outdo the PS3 (this for one). Notice that MS is really the only one that throws announcements together whenever there is a hint that PS3 or Wii might have something up their sleeve? Sony and Nintendo seem to take any bad press until large events.-Zaku-

If they have barely 30FPS at 720p, it'll be even lower at 1080p. They shouldn't upscale so much.ithilgore2006

:| Don't say that...it makes you sound kinda stupid.

Framerate problems this early in the 360's life cycle are due to poor optimization and that happens because one of two (possibly both) things happen. Either the developers are lazy, or they simply don't understand the hardware. Hell if DOA 4 (a really beautiful game) can run at 60 fps at 720p, then they can get games to run 30 at 1080p.

IT IS NOT THE XBOX 360's FAULT!

The console is new, developers barely know how to pull anything out of it much less how to optimize games to run smoothly. In time, framerate problems, (unless a dev pushes it too hard in the future) will become non existent. You can quote me on that.

This is seriously a pathetic attempt by Microsoft. 1080p is NOT NECESSARY!!KR3W-

As unnnecessary as it may be, this is a brilliant move. Sony has been touting the PS3's 1080p or "True HD" capabilities and that its the nly console with that capability, and that was a big advantage. Now, MS has taken that advantage waya from them saying, "Hey, you're not the only one with 1080p". It's brilliant from a marketing prospective.
