What resolutions can the Wii do? Also, can the Xbox360 and PS-3 ALWAYS do 1080p?

I know that the Wii cando High-Definition with some backward-compatible games.

By ALWAYS, I mean willthe 360 and ps3be able to play 1080p with all games of this generation as well as all backward-compatible games?

Wii=ed:480p

360:HD:1080p and upscaled to 1080p for original xbox games

PS3:HD:1080 and no ps2 upscale

I don't recall 360 games being able to do 1080p..correct if im wrongBEAN_LARD_MULCH

All 360 games that have released since Lost Planet can do full and true 1080p through HDMI.

It can upscale PS2 and PS1 games

PS3 and xbox360 can not do 1920×1080 in many games, only the least graphically demanding ones. Most xbox360 and ps3 games are 720p, or 1280x720, which is medium when one compares it to a pc. Most pc users use higher resolutions than this for most of their games.

The wii onyldoes 480p, or 720x480 due to interfacing choices nintendo cose ot go with, by exclusing a frambuffer etc.

Even the ps2, a console much weaker than the gamecube, could do 1080p. And it did in some games. Yet the gamecube couldn't due above 480p either, once again due to the lack of a significant frambuffer, it has nothing to do with lack of gpu power.

Nintendo excluded an onboard framebuffer to save costs.

It can do 1080p now.

Are you saying that Lost Planet can also do true 1080p? If so, you are wrong. It is upscaled.

Wii: 480p

Xbox360: 720p

PS3: 1080p

Wii maxes out at 480p.

PS3 an 360 are both capable of 1080p, but very few games actually render at that resolution (most render at 720p). There are a few games on PS3 that scale 720p up to 1080p (Ninja Gaiden Sigma), and the 360's scaler can upscale games to 1080p.

WHAT?! Now that is SAD! Really sad! So 360 owners have been running Gears of War at 1280x720? Even my X800 will be able to do that!

You are very uninformed.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma for the PS3 is native true 1080p.

Only one example? And Ninja Gaiden Sigma is ALMOSTan enriched port of an xbox1 game, so 1080p is expected.

Yep I don't expect the requirements for Gear of War to be very high when it comes to PC.

ps3 is the only console that can do full 1080p

360 even with HDMI it cant cause the console cant output it, but it can upscale

I don't recall 360 games being able to do 1080p..correct if im wrongBEAN_LARD_MULCH

It's a shame Wii can only go up to 480p, seeing how the original Xbox was able to go 720p.16bitkevin

Wii people don't care about graphics anyways, so it doesn't matter what resolution the Wii displays at.

resolution =/= graphics. Don't worry about it so much.whoisryanmack

yes, you're right, but the resolution also dictates how well the graphics are displayed.

Incorrect....PS3 upscales ps2 games

neo786

:roll:

If a 7300 can output at 2000 x 1500, I think the 360 can do 1080p :|

resolution =/= graphics. Don't worry about it so much.whoisryanmack

I'd rather play1920x1080 at minimum settings than 1280x720 at maximum settings.

neo786

Wrong.

360 can also do 1080p through component, as long as the TV has component inputs that support 1080p. GRAW 2 on 360 can be played in 1080p. Additionaly, the VGA cable for the 360 allows for 1920x1080 resolution, as long as the monitor, or TV supports that resolution.

[QUOTE="whoisryanmack"]resolution =/= graphics. Don't worry about it so much.afmsquid

yes, you're right, but the resolution also dictates how well the graphics are displayed.

However, it also depends on the size of your display... Only when you're approaching 50-60 inch displays you'll see the need for 1080p...

Any lower and 720p is fine.

Are you sure about that? Do I dare post screens of Oblivion at minimum?

also http://www.carltonbale.com/2006/11/1080p-does-matter/ one of many places that state this... Many AV publications will say similar things...

How close do you sit from it? The distance factor modifies that much faster than display size...

I know that the Wii cando High-Definition with some backward-compatible games.

By ALWAYS, I mean willthe 360 and ps3be able to play 1080p with all games of this generation as well as all backward-compatible games?

the_hitman_guy

The Wii cannot do any high definition games at all.

CanBioshock go 1920x1080 on 360???MIYAMOTOnext007

Yes.

CanBioshock go 1920x1080 on 360???MIYAMOTOnext007

I wouldn't count on it because it's running on the same engine as Gears of War.

If Gears of War runs at 1280x720 on 360, so will BioShock (probably).

[QUOTE="MIYAMOTOnext007"]CanBioshock go 1920x1080 on 360???afmsquid

Yes.

It's upscaled on the 360, not natively rendered in the case of the PC. Very few games on the 360 and PS3 are natively rendered in 1080p.

my mistake

The Wii is locked at 480p. The PS3 and 360 can barely do 1080p.foxhound_fox

My Wii can do 576p just fine.

[QUOTE="foxhound_fox"]The Wii is locked at 480p. The PS3 and 360 can barely do 1080p.SER69

Uh, what?

Wii games are native 480p, andthe console outputs a max of 480p.

Even if you hooked up the Wii to an external scaler, it would still look like garbage in an HD resolution (of which 576p is not, where the Hell did you get a 576 p ED TV???) as it would just be upscaled 480p.

Way to make us Americans seem ignorant to other countries...

576p is PAL's Standard Definition... Like in Europe... yeah over there... Near that China place where everything's made in...

Sryy, but most games from the 360 are upscale. 720p to 1080p.

576i is standard PAL definition..... so my question stands.

TO be honest though, I didn't consider that in Europe Wii's would have the option for 576p to output the progressive (and yes, 576p is ED) version of their standard definition for upscaling to HD resolutions.
