I wonder if the next gen will have full 1080p 60fps... Than again, that might not be too much of a plus in the era of 4k

VR!  At some frame rate, and some resolution.  1080p+ 120fps maybe...  

Yes, yes! but then it goes down to 15p for 4K :/

Although, to get the 3D frame rate, the card has to be running at 240fp, as each eye needs a slightly different picture.

While you suggestions of a sliding scale is nice. I would hate to give up performance to have those options.  PC's do give up some performance to be so flexible.  But they have to work with so many different kinds of hardware. 

While I have been blow away with the visuals on Ryse as have others with Kill Zone I think both Sony and Microsoft underpowered the GPU department.  But then, we were really spoiled last gen with really good GPU's.

So as long as it doesn't cut to much into performance, sure, a sliding scale on resolution vs frame rate would be nice.
