lol. Some of the quotes are priceless:
I think CoD Ghosts looks damn good, and I personally prefer 720p over 1080p.

That thread is claiming Titanfall is only going to be 720 as well on Xbone. If all of this is true, what a shitty console.

Found this article, it has a quote froma Micrsoft Rep ...

Xbox One graphics currently output in 900p, worse than PS4s 1080p (Updated) | ExtremeTech

In the ongoing prerelease war between Sony's PS4 and Microsoft's Xbox One, the PS4 continually appears to be the clear victor, from Sony's E3 showing and Microsoft's DRM and indie game debacle, to the PS4's superior hardware and the Xbox One's higher price. Now, a mysterious insider that has leaked correct Microsoft info in the past, is claiming that the Xbox One can't output in 1080p, and tops out at a mere 900p.

Update, 4:38PM ET: We've spoken with a representative from Microsoft, who provided the following statement: "Xbox One fully supports native 1080p output at 60 fps. It is up to individual developers to determine what resolution best fits their design goals. At launch, Xbox One will present all titles at 1080p-whether natively or upscaled." It's worth keeping in mind that just because a box can output at 1080p doesn't mean it will. For instance, we already know that Ryse - a high-profile launch title - will be running at 900p. The further we get into a console's life, though, the more experience developers will have with that console, and can figure out methods to get the most out of it. The representative said they could not comment on the rumor regarding the stress test boxes outputting at 900p.

The PlayStation 3 supports 1080p (1920?1080) output, but a large swath of games only displayed in 720p. Meanwhile, the Xbox 360 caps out at 720p. This upcoming generation, both consoles are supposed to support 1080p. A NeoGAF forum user, CBOAT, claims that 720p to 900p (1280?720, 1600?900) will be the Xbox One norm. As far as we know, the PlayStation 4 adheres to this promise, but if this new leak is true, the Xbox One will find yet another category in which to trail the PS4.

However, before you eBay your Xbox One pre-order, you should know exactly what kind of place from which this new "leak" is coming. The leak comes from NeoGAF user CBOAT, which stands for "crazy buttocks on a boat." While choice of online handle shouldn't completely damn or praise someone, it can cast the things they say in a certain light. Furthermore, CBOAT has his own troll-speak style language, where everything is misspelled so poorly that you can instantly tell that it was done intentionally. Both the troll-speak and acronym could easily disprove anything CBOAT says, but can also be a clever tactic to disguise actual leaked information. The reason why you shouldn't instantly discredit CBOAT's claims is because the user is known within the NeoGAF community for predicting just about everything that went down during the Microsoft E3 press conference this year before it happened.

CBOAT is right most (over 80%)of the time.

everything about xbone's drm he called 100% correctly- atleast initially until ms changed their minds(ie were getting hammered)

"Xbox One fully supports native 1080p output at 60 fps."

I'm sure it does. Too bad the hardware is too shitty for that to actually be accomplished in a AAA title.

Heh, not just the hardware either. Quite a few leaks have said that the devkit OS is still not complete and there's issues. So not only are they coding for shitty hardware (lol ESRAM and a gimped GPU), they are coding for it in a development environment that has been 6-9 months behind schedule.

Microsoft clearly should have waited atleastanother year. They were not ready for this. Their OS is rushed, their hardware was slapped together instead of being well-engineered, there's clearly major manufacturing yield issues, and their "Digital Future" ideas were poorly tested for public response (if tested at all). Rushing out early with a poor product that you intend to keep on the shelf for an entire generation is far, far worse then launching later with a truly good design.

MS needs to stomp on this rumor before it goes viral. I don't think the xbone hardware is really as inferior as all that? To really not be able to support 1080p natively in COD?

Still this is the kind of blow MS can't start taking again. I expect an announcement, press release, or twitter that will say COD will support 1080p and this will be DOA.
