Nintendo’s Probable Reasoning Behind 720p Wii U Launch Game Resolution

Shiroi Airanu wrote: "We understand that the initial price is of HUGE importance to the company and cannot be a mistake as it was with the 3DS. We know that the date released has to take into consideration the optimal sales window upon release, the time it takes to manufacture the proper amount of consoles, as well as having the games (both 1st and 3rd party) that have been promised to be available at launch, ready.

A question that many gamers have besides these though is this:

If the Nintendo Wii U is capable of 1080p resolution, more capable than current generation consoles, and easy to develop for as has been claimed, then why is Nintendo releasing it’s launch games at 720p resolution?"
