Not surprising, it's a lower res screen.

To be fair it is quite a step up from the first PSP. Basically 4x the resolution.

960 × 544 compared to 480 x 272

The PS3 also upscales a lot.

Indeed. 640p is basically the standard for an alarming number of PS3/360 'AAA' games.

Hadn't realised the PSP2's screen was that high a res - thought it was 800x480 or something like that. Knew that the PS3 upscaled a lot, though. For that matter, so does the XBox360...

So I just found out some PS3 games cannot output higher than 720p. Upscaling or not.

Suck.

PS3 doesn't upscale.

It does. At least to 720p for games in like 640p etc. http://www.joystiq.com/2008/04/29/counting-pixels-gta-iv-runs-at-630p/

The console never ever outputs a 640p signal to my knowledge.

IIRC FFXIII gameplay is native 720p and the cut scenes are native 1080p. So the gameplay is upscaled to 1080p.

Hmmm.... interesting, then how come they still have games that don't upscale to 1080p?

Basically the PS3 upscales like crap and it is performance intensive.

These are old but might help.
