Andre Vrignaud, Microsoft’s Director of Technical Strategy for XBOX Live says that 1080p is mostly hype with the PlayStation 3. He goes on to say that 99% of the PS3 games released will be rendered at 720p while the only ones with 1080x native support will be arcade ports or games that sacrifice in-game effects.
This is one thing I actually agree with, for the sake of knowing that not many TV’s out there have 1080p. The ones that do cost a -lot- of money. Still, it’s nice to a degree that Sony is trying to future-proof the PS3.
