So, he is "not sure" about the resolution of his own game? I don't think it's such a minor detail. Seems to me it's just a way of hiding the fact the game runs at 720p, which would be the exact same resolution of current gen.
My recommendation to EA would be to work on a free expansion to allow offline play and large size, self-sufficient cities in some sort of "classic" play mode.
