I wouldn't know, I have never owned a 720p HDTV in my life...and I have been an early adopter of HDTV's since the Dreamcast/PS2/Xbox/GC days. I also have never owned a 60hz bare minimum HDTV in my life. I have however been to friends houses that do have those HDTVs and I see a huge difference all the time...years before the PS4 existed.

720p as a midtier HDTV was completely skippable tbh.

I can tell you that there is a massive difference in (over 100%) pixels.

1080p = 2,073,600 pixels

720p = 921,600 pixels.

I would recommend getting a 1080p 40-55 inch HDTV with 120hz or higher.

Heck, look into Plasma or OLED.

Like Kinect. In 2009 MS did the unthinkable, they dropped core to go upwards of 60% casual to chase the Wii's pot of gold. Now fast Forward to 2015 and they have essentially dropped Kinect.

This is good for gaming but proves your point.

Yes , but in Forza 3 there is one car that's the best.

Haven't played Forza 4 to confirm it , but there is one there as well , and if my theory is right , i know the best in F6.

At this point, can we just admit that Sony is the only one that does not need a Mario or Halo to sell their systems?

Think about this, Nintendo is the owner of some of the most iconic IPs in the history of gaming and what many people consider the best first-party even to this day.

Microsoft has the Halo franchise, which has expanded far beyond games.

Look at the sales of the Xbox One and Wii U. Not only are they lagging behind the PS4, the numbers are nowhere close. Look at the PS2 and how it dominated the Xbox and Gamecube.

People seem to be forgetting one thing, Halo may be the bigger seller then anything Sony has, but Sony has the more diverse first-party lineup with more games, many of which are million sellers.

Only Nintendo surpasses Sony in that regard. Microsoft has to depend on Halo and Forza to carry them, because they have managed to kill every other first-party IP that they had and have closed down countless first-party developers that worked under them.

But you said it yourself, sales mean a hell of a lot more. And at the end of the day, the PS4 is smoking the Xbox One and Wii U in sales, despite not having a "mascot" for their system like Nintendo and Microsoft do.

So yeah, good for Nintendo and Microsoft that they can sell millions of copies of Mario and Halo each entry. That's a good thing, but its not moving hardware the way Sony can.

Forza 5 and soon to be Forza 6 are current gen games, I won't even mention Horizon 2, whereas Gran Turismo is yet to be released for PS4, comparing a current gen game's assets to a last gen's isn't really fair.

As of right now Forza is the best racer out but what when Gran Turismo releases? We have to wait and see, I personally think it needs to innovate in some way to be considered next gen, like Forza 6 did, it can't be like Forza 5 where all you get is better graphics, lightning, better looking car models, tracks, textures etc... I'm looking for new ways to enhance the driving experience per se, impactful ones, like the puddles in Forza 6, with how long it's taking Poliphony Digital to relase GT I'd think they're cooking up something cool for the PS4, which will in turn push Turn 10 to make an even better game etc... The way competition works.
