why are multiplats in a lower resolution on the ps3 than the 360?

Sorry haters, but why put a upscaler, when infact your very own hdtv does this already. A game at 720p is infact 720p no matter how nice YOU THINK it is that its upscaling to 1080p. If your tv is infact 1080p its already doing it for you, but no matter what the game is still 720p. Geez. Yall really think the scaler in the 360 is better than a nice hdtv's scaler? MS gimped on everything but they put a great scaler in their console? Really, geez they would have been better off putting a console together that wouldn't crap out on you than do something your tv already does for you.

Because the XBOX360 is more powerful than PS3.That is why all the XBOX360 games are on 1080p resolution but most of the PS3 games are on 720p.The 360 it have better graphics card.

360 upscales lower resolution games to 1080p, PS3 doesn't upscale anything so games run in their default resolution regardless of what the PS3 is outputting the game at, hence some 360 games will have noticeable upscaling artifacts while some PS3 games will have noticeable aliasing

it'd be easier if they could just produce 1080p graphics buuuuuuuuuut they're both too weak to do that with most games

i actually own all 3 of those for the ps3, and none of 'em look great at 1080p, ps3's software upscaler is weaksauce

Don't know why people talk about upscaling like it's a good thing, you like seeing a 720p image stretched over a 1080p resolution?

People seem to have trouble grasping this concept and I mean a LOT of people.

I just keep telling them that if playing in 1080P is so important to them, they should be playing on PC.

actually it's a lot better than seeing a lower res image fullscreen on a higher res screen. upscaling does help. just look at the difference between playing a dvd with and without upscaling.Ontain

That's a DVD, video, which isn't the same as 3D graphics.

Honestly people are probably sat too far away to notice, but if they saw a 720p image on a 1080p resolution up close they would see how fuzzy it is.

360 Upscales to 1080p.

that's because most games are developed for the 360 and then ported to the ps3. when the reverse happens, as with final fantasy 13, you get this :

Though the screenshots were of low quality, including one with a mouse pointer over it,[67] analysis suggested that the Xbox 360 version runs at 576p, as opposed to the PlayStation 3's native resolution of 720p.wikipedia

Final Fantasy XIII on the PlayStation 3 will feature lossless audio and uncompressed 1080p cinematic cutscenes on a single Blu-Ray disc, while the Xbox 360 version will feature 576p cinematic cutscenes using Bink video and be divided into three DVDs.wikipedia

[QUOTE="slvrraven9"]

generally speaking. most 360s are 1080 while the ps3 usually tops out at 720. even if its an upconvert, id still like to take advantage of the two thousand dollar tv i bought...

WRONG.

Sure he does. Using the magic of the internet and copy and paste, everyone's a genius! :P

Can you give us some examples?

I'm pretty sure the overwhelming majority of games on both 360 and PS3 are either 720p or sub-HD.
