Honestly, why do people care about this number? It looks better than almost anything out there and that's a fact 600p or not.
Because the consoles are marketed as High definition consoles and at least on the PS3 considering its technical abilities should be rendering in at least 720p. Mario Galaxy and God of War 2 both look great compared to many PS3 and XBox 360 games (art direction and design talent), but people have higher technical expectations for much higher specced consoles.
At least COD4 isn't a first party exclusive game, so I can understand the trade offs (for the PS3 indirectly, due to being a mirror version of the XBox 360 game). Games like Halo 3 is a different case, they had a huge budget and working on the XBox 360 exclusively, so for whatever reasons they kept that game from being high definition, it's not related to multi-platform porting or development budget.
