Not even 1080p? Pfffffft. Lame. Get it together, Xbox. Geez.
For clarification, I'm joking. I don't know what 1080p means and I don't particularly care either.
I just... I just wanted to join in on the bro-ing going on...
1080p is referring to the resolution, in this case 1920x1080 which is so common in todays monitors/TV's that you could practically call it the standard. The I or P is on the end to indicate weather it's interlaced or progressive scan (that is, how the image is projected onto the screen). Simply put, 1080p is sharper and does fast motions better due to the way the image of each frame is drawn on the TV compared to 1080i. People are complaining that a lot of games are 720p, which if memory serves is 1280x720, a rather low resolution by todays standards and something even cheap laptops can do easily.
To be honest while I don't put graphics at the top of my priority list, 1080p has become such a standard that there really is no excuse for a modern console not to do it, heck even the PS3 could do 1080p on some games, although most did it via up scaling I believe there are some that do it natively. Either way both my Android tablet and Windows 8 hybrid can do 1080p, so it's rather ridicules if a console cannot pull it off.
