Yet they can hit 1080p60 if they want to. However devs are choosing effects over 1080p60. It will be the same next gen. If consoles can comfortably do 1080p60 next gen, they can do 1440p30, which is 1.78 x 1080p in pixel count. From 720p to 1080p is 2.25x the pixel count. 1080p -> 1440p much smaller step. The same step would be 1620p.
Plus Gen 7 to Gen 8 has been a smaller step because Gen 7 was a bit ahead of the curve, while Gen 8 is back to being on the conservative side compared to pc.
