holy **** 100p difference? and some one wants to argue about it????? my pc must be godly with it's 1920x1200 p monitor...... now im going to play my wii :)
It's not a 100p though. If you rounded it would be closer to 200, but to be accurate, it's "180p" difference. You must not be aware, but that is a 30+% difference in image fidelity. It's actually a difference of 633,000 pixels.
(1600 x 900) = 1,440,000 pixels.
(1920 x 1080) = 2,073,000 pixels.
633,000 more pixels.
So what looks like a tiny, measly "180p" difference is actually quite deceptive.
To give a greater perspective, last gen PS360 comparisons here (I was in many threads in SW back then as well) and across the internet, people argued for 10-20p differences (many times early in the generation this was to the 360's favor).
To be clear, I have owned PCs and all the gaming consoles for decades/generations and I've seen posters come and go, but I wanted to clear up the "180p difference" for those that aren't quite sure what all this means. Clearly though, one could get a DRM PC copy that runs at higher resolutions or go with a non-DRM physical copy on consoles and take the best version of that bunch. It depends how much of that 1080p HD TV you want to use, and sometimes what console someone is stuck with.
You forgot to mention that the final output for both systems would be 1080p making the difference negligible because it would require the user to see both games overlayed and toggle back to back to even notice the difference.
No, it wasn't forgotten.
The difference isn't negligible by last gen standards or older gamers that remember the much more negligible differences even just last gen between Wii, 360 and PS3...
Due to some people's agendas, ignorance, poor eyesight, poor equipment, or plain old fanboyin', I've come to realize LONG AGO when new generations of technology is ushered in, this song and dance will continue.
When the NX, Xbox Two, PS5, Pepsi Power Games Machine, WiiWiiU2, NX2, Intellivision HD, Xbox Threeie, PS69, Xbox 360squared, Dorito Graphics Chips, etc there is always going to be some users that will downplay the differences between those machines as negligible. Eh. I've seen users explain multiplat differences as negligible for NES vs. SMS, Genesis vs. SNES, Wii vs. 360, PS2 vs. Dreamcast, Dreamcast vs. Xbox, PS2 vs. Gamecube, PS1 vs. Saturn, N64 vs. PS1...it's an old gimmick. We also see it in the PC community between very similar GPUs. Of course, people are also intent on using the decade plus "upscaling" argument, as if many of us didn't read those tired arguments back in 2005 and prior.
My post stands and it was meant to inform those that care and want real tangible information. That information is for those that have the actual proper machines and fantastic monitors/HD sets care. The Enthusiasts. Others won't care, and that's fine too. Let them be passionate about something else. I'm also a huge audiophile, and I notice sound in movies, music, and games all the time and I don't need anything overlayed and it's the same for visuals, but to each their own.
Peace out broski.
