I doubt IGN is just making it up. The most likely reason their source wants to remain anonymous is because they're not supposed to be talking about this.
If their sources can be trusted the reason it doesn't do 720p is because it can't. The Revolution won't have more than 128mb of RAM.

Quote:Gamers holding out for Nintendo to reverse its stance on the HD front may be in for a disappointment. Revolution will not have the RAM capacity to store and display an abundant source of high-definition textures. Third parties have revealed to us that the console will top out with 128MBs of RAM, and possibly even less. One studio would not give us an exact figure, but did say, "The same as GameCube plus an extra 64MB of main RAM." That number is by comparison nearly triple the amount of memory in GameCube. However, it is a far cry from the 512MBs present in Xbox 360.
