I don't think we've quite made it to that day and age where every house has at least one HD TV. Plus with the rate that the technology for TVs are progressing, a lot of money would be wasted playing "catch up". LED TVs haven't even been out for half a year yet and 3D TVs are already on the shelves.

I'm sure they'll start making games with those capabilities more often after that progression hits a snag.

TVs with the 3D stuff they've been using a bunch in movies, like Avatar.

Well, I've heard some games can't handle the resolution even if the box says so. If you have a PS3, just go to your Video Output settings and uncheck 480p, 720p, 1080i and just leave 1080p checked.

The PS3 supports 3D with a reduction to 720p which sucks however it's a hardware problem.

Uh, probably because consoles aren't powerful enough to display most games in true 1080p.

Yeah I agree, true 1080p requires a more heck load of processing power limiting what the developers can do with their games.

Ditto. Not to mention, not all gamers have TVs that can go up to 1080, so companies would be losing money because those gamers would not be able to buy their games.

Cross platfome games may choose the lowest resolution platform as developing standard to reduce the development cost.

Current generation consoles can't really handle 1080p resolution. Hell, even "720p" on consoles is usually just upscaled, with the same low-resolution textures and low polygon counts.

If you want to enjoy gaming at 1080p or higher, you'll need to do it on a PC, not a console.
