Everyone goes on about how important it is (in this case Sony was doing the boasting), but so few people have devices that can both accept and display 1080p.
Sure, someday, somewhere, some time, everything will be 1080p (except OTA), but when will that be? I do love the fact that 1080p has ended the 720p vs. 1080i debate.
The Xbox 360 and PS3 are both 100% "high def" if they are running at least 720p, right? Isn't that good enough? We're talking about a device that creates high quality HD images in real-time based on every twitch of your finger for Pete's sake.
I'm not going to be first in line to get a PS3, but the fact that consumer gaming has matured to this level of quality is pretty cool even if there are only 2 games out there.

1080p is a red herring.
