Seems to be quite a lot of controversy with this. It's going to be very very interesting if the XBox One is only rendering 720P and the PS4 is doing 1080P. Maybe the extra resolution for the XBox will come from the cloud....

Yeah, apparently Titanfall is apparently going 720p as well. PC it is!

Where have you read this? Is it actually confirmed or just a rumour? I have a really hard time believing that a next-gen system won't be running games at 1080p....

We already have official confirmation for other games at (being downgraded to) sub-1080p:

Yeah, that's one game, that according to Microsoft will be upscaled to 1080p...

The rumours that COD, Titanfall, etc. will only be running at 720 seem pretty unfounded...

Ewww upscaling! Native all the way! (Actually kinda sad we are talking about just 1080p - PC master race indeed).

Oh, certainly there is nothing "official" - just silence from Microsoft. That's why people are talking about sources, rumor, etc. But it's been a few days brewing now and Sony has already come out and clearly said 1080p native on their side already. The silence from Microsoft is rather strange and perhaps telling in and of itself.

When put to the torch and asked directly multiple times, all I can see them saying so far is: "I've seen COD: Ghosts running on Xbox One. It looks f'n amazing. Wait for real footage, then judge for yourself."

Maybe Microsoft is dealing to throw more money at Activision to get it pushed to 1080p. Or to have it downgraded on the PS4 after the fact.

I was reading at IGN that the lead developer at Capcom for Resident Evil said the XB1 and PS4 are virtually identical hardware. He's upset because he believes he's making the same game twice. Sounds like multi console games will be virtually identical much like last generation. Here's a different article with an update but it appears Microsoft has updated their hardware from original specs;

PC Master race wins again!

Seriously though, can't be too upset if it'll be so easy to port. And should be simple to see any kind of power difference as well one it reaches our hands. Good.

I wonder why Microsoft is so slow to end the whole "controversy" and clearly state that COD will run at 1080p just like Sony has. Can't be too difficult to call up Activision if needed.

Finally made a pre-order for the PS4 at Staples with 10% off.

Guess I'm finally moving onto modern society. My last console was a Wii (yes I know...)

Yup. For further reference, Westhills Staples is where I managed to make the order without a hitch.

I spoke with some Calgary EB stores - they do indeed have some small numbers in. They didn't have "official" confirmation of when they should go on sale though apparently. You might have to do some quick talking/convincing.

Hmmm, the controversy is now shifting a little. Rumor has it that Microsoft has a embargos up to prevent people talking about the resolution (of all things ). Kinda silly if that's true - it's going to release soon for consumers to see anyhow. It would explain their silence as this keeps rolling - I wonder how they'll explain the lack of reviews/press coverage if this is true.

#CODGhosts review embargo lifts on Nov 5th for all platforms...except #XboxOne. That lifts on the 12th because of the 720p problem...
https://twitter.com/erikkain/status/393935511821107200

This is weird since I know for a fact that many people do know what its resolution is but can't say due to Microsoft's embargo.

https://twitter.com/erikkain/status/393935364823343104

So apparently Microsoft's Albert Penello isn't even allowed to know the Xbox One's Call of Duty Ghosts resolution.
