Don't blame them, blame the people who are suddenly making such a big fuss over those metrics. Last gen no one announced resolution or framerate before launch, now it's basically mandatory.
I'm not blaming people for caring about it being 1080p / 60fps, that is what devs have been shooting for and wanting the entire generation so far.
I just hate that IGN for 10 months never wanted to talk about it when Xbone has lower res for multiplat (or just in general) . Even writing articles about how it "doesn't matter unless you had a large TV" and how 720 and 900p wasn't "That big of a difference." compared to 1080p.
Now that Xbone has something that is 1080p / 60fps (even though it is a remaster of 4 previous gen games) they are saying it much as possible, whenever possible.
If you are going to use it as a selling point and glorify it then fine, but do it for both consoles. And be consistent with your messaging, don't just pick and choose moments when it benefits Xbone. $100 says that if this was a PS4 exclusive you would not see "1080p / 60 fps" nearly as much as you are seeing in these MCC articles/tweets.
