Yep. Sony saying they're the most powerful is sufficient.
So why doesn't Sony advertise their resolution advantage?

I'm sure slapping a sticker / tagline like that will surely increase sales by 100%!
The people who honestly care about this would have already done their homework.
Not.

It already says it on the back of the game case with the rest of the stats.
That's where it belongs.

Damn, all these developers wasting them pixels!this.
and even worse, outside of forums, no one give a shit about 60 fps
back then between 720p and 1080p yes....
but now you cant see the difference between 900p and 1080p...
Keep that shit off the front of the box though.

This is true and I do not think they have any desire to start differentiating between native resolution and output resolution now. I'd say the people that truly care about the specific details already know. And for those less concerned about technical details, the general understanding that the PS4 is the more capable system is already well spread.

They should just show the difference in store demo setups.
I mean when I dick around with settings in PC games the jump in clarity is super obvious on my tv and showing that off at a demo station distance of like 3 feet will be even more obvious.

You can def see a difference between 900p and 1080p but honestly it's not a big deal as long as it's not bullshit forced parity (achem). I still use last gen consoles and yeah 720p doesn't look great but the games are still amazing. Sony is better for not bragging but it bothers me when companies like IGN try sweeping it under the rug. It is a difference and a big one IF you care about it. Don't pretend it doesn't exist though.

"In Full 1080p HD, only on PlayStation"*
No. If they want to do this, they need to coin some bullshit, somewhat-related phrase that rolls off the tongue better. Like Sega did with Blast Processing.
Even people who care about resolution roll their eyes at the "glorious 1080p" thing whenever they try to throw it around.

The general public likely doesn't care or even fully grasp the difference. Plus they know it isn't a difference that is likely to last forever.

So many people are ignorant to tech specs. people where I work think the ps3 and 360 are 1080p because the game box says it is.
They should be required to put native resolution on the back and the "upscales to". I'd love to know what I'm actually buying.

The only people who care about this already know. It's kind of pointless really.
Yeah, this. The people who care already know.

This. The vast majority of people buying new consoles don't care about resolution. Remember the Wii? lol
I think for something like "Looks best on Playstation" they'd have to strike a marketing deal with the publishers. EA has no interest in advertising the PS4 version over the xb1 unless they see some money for it.
And if I recall correctly did they already do something like that with Watch_Dogs and Destiny, they just can't grab a marketing deal for every big multiplat game out there

People seem to think 1080p and 60fps means next gen.....reality is its simply more pixels moving fast
If the game plays the same it makes no fucking difference Imo
To me next gen means more multiplayer players in a game. ....larger more interactive world's and smarter Ai
Forza 5 would probably be a game I'd pin as a good representation of what a next gen game is....more specifically the way it handles the drivatars and downloads how real people play
This is a game that feels like you are racing real people.
Having a 64 player game of battlefield 4 on a large open map is also another great thing next gen has bought us
This is the sort of stuff people should be commending on ...not this 1080p/60fps or bust shit

Whose going to advertise on a game by game basis? Third parties? Why would you advertise one of your products as being inherently inferior when they're both at the same price point? Why would a publisher let the platform holder do that? Your obvious answer has obvious flaws.

Because the vast majority of normal people cant see the difference between 900p and 1080p.
Hell, SIGGRAPH doesn't even care. Why would J6P?
Microsoft already gave Sony the ball. All Sony has to do for the next 6 or 7 years is not drop it.

It also ended being 900p. They really missed the mark with that one.60 frames per second in 1080p.

Just did a quick search and yeah completely forgot about that.
Resolution and graphics are one in the same because resolution by far has the biggest impact on overall image quality.

Resolution
Sony marketing should if someone figures out how to do it properly. I don't think they have done enough on their end to make it known among the casuals. The "it don't matter talk" is B.S and we all know it. The hardcore has done Sony's work for them in forums and social media. Certainly talking about specs on the console's reveal is not enough. Some people need to look at the Nintendo/Sega days as well as the PS1/N64 days when it comes to advertisement. For perspective, just look at how MS has been hard at work trying to downplay the differences in hardware power...."it's a perception challenge"...."x resolution not acceptable on the Xbox One"....we could go on and on....+ what we don't know that goes behind closed doors and gets inked with NDA's.

Jesus Christ! Why the hell do some people keep repeating that? And it's not "some people" don't see the difference, oh no, it's "the majority of people". I really need to see some receipts here.
I mean seriously, if the majority don't see the difference, why the hell do game developers, media creators and even TV makers make 1080p products? And oh, all these creating 4K products must be fooling themselves.
They sorta do, they always say Xbox live is the best place to play online.

Ehhh, it's kind of true. I don't think my brother or friends even knows what a "p" is, let alone how many are showing on their TVs.

99.9% don't even realize that there is a difference at all. It's just something that the tech savvy gamers only really pick up on that trickles down to the not so tech savvy gamers by word of mouth.
It it just like how the majority of PS3 and 360 owners didn't realize that their consoles weren't actually displaying at 1080p either or didn't seem to care for that matter.
