dont call it a comeback

I took a 1920x1080 native image and compare it against the same image which was shrunk to 720p and then upscaled back to 1080. I think this roughly demonstrates the difference.
You can pretty clearly see a difference, particularly if you look at fine lines or less clear things, such as the dudes on the roof. And overall it's just a bit crisper in 1080. Some people may notice or care more than others. To some it may not be a big deal to be in 720. To others nothing is a bigger deal.
Now imagine the casual gamer coming in here and actually saying they give a shit about any of this. It just doesn't fit.
That is where this whole idea that the resolution is a gamechanger just completely rams head first into a wall. The difference may be "pretty clear" to the hardcore or those that are looking to max out their PC every few months, but to people who play xbox live and make your momma jokes into the mic? Really?
