IIRC Sony is selling 8Mbps 1080p content on the PS3. I think Apple is genuinely behind in this case.

What is the notable quality difference between 8Mbps 1080p and 8Mbps 720p scaled to 1080p?

Bingo. thats the point you can't deliver 8Mbps 1080p of any decent quality. In fact 1080p at 8Mpbs is generally worse quality then 720p upscaled.
