PS3 - Sony Responds To Microsoft 1080p Claim
It´s not often that Sony directly responds to a claim made by a competitor but this was one of those times.
Yesterday Microsoft revealed the XBox 360 would be able to support 1080p resolution content through a software upgrade. However, they have no current plans to use this in gaming. Today, Sony offered this as a reply:
¨It´s unfortunate that Microsoft´s external HD-DVD drive will not enhance the experience at all for the gamer. Sony realizes that to truly take gaming into the next generation requires a larger data format for both games and movies. PS3 uses the Blu-ray format for gaming, giving developers 50 GB of high-definition storage on a single disc, while Microsoft´s 9 GB DVD gaming format is an obstacle for storing HD content. Furthermore, Microsoft´s announced HD games patch is really just a compatibility feature -- upscaling lower-resolution content does not make it Full HD (1080p), something that PS3 can do out of the box.¨
Looks like Sony´s trying to save face however it can leading up to the PS3 launch.
