Belfiore: 3 column WP8 depends on screen size, not resolution.
Joe Belfiore confirms that the 3 column addition seen in the Nokia Lumia 1520 depends on the screen size, not resolution. Technically that means it doesn’t depend on anything at all. The manufacturer decides whether it’s in the user’s best interest to have additional tiles which may or may not hamper usability if the tiles become too small. With Nokia being the only WP manufacturer really, it’s mainly then just up to Nokia to decide to let users have the two or 3 columns (though technically there are 6).
Also… 3 column start is set by phone manufacturer by SCREEN SIZE not resolution. I mistweeted last week. Need big screen.

Why not just give it as a user option eh? 4 mini tiles or 6 mini tiles?
Cheers Alvester for the tip
