Oh and Foe if you're wondering why I came in to this thread with that quote and slide.
I tossed out your quote on AVS and had two members tell me that was incorrect and I ended up looking like an ass. So I come here to give some more information on the issue and you want to start a pissing match with me. Treating me like a fanboy because I don't believe that quote of yours was correct. Even if he did say the PS3 could run games at 1080P at 120FPS if the displays could support it, we don't know what titles he would be referrring to, i.e. Blast Factor could run at that level were as COD could not.
"Why would sony show that slide at one of their ps3 conferences if it was not for the ps3. Just to show it for the hell of it? "
I already supplied my own answer in the post above, but it was also in the original quote; "In any event, Sony seems to view the 'present' ideal of HD as 1080p sets running at 120hz. They're getting the 1080p now, and the later is tentatively pegged at the ~2008 timeframe. We'll see what happens on that front, but anyway thought it was worth mentioning as there's sort of the perfect storm here of Playstation discussion, the 24fps issue with movies, and the 120hz display issue. Granted this may more reflect Kutaragi's own visions for the industry than an actual near-term concerted effort we'll see on the part of the CE players, but an interesting slide nonetheless."
My answer was pretty close; "Sony is also in the display business, both TVs and PC monitors, so why not show their roadmap of resolutions and how they feel the market is going or how they want the market to go?"
