If certain consoles can't acheive 1080p now, what happens in a couple years?

It should certainly become more frequent, or high variables should at least (1080p/50-60fps). We can already runs games like inFamous:FL at 1080p/40fps(avg), so give it a few years and games of a slightly higher visual level should't have much of an issue hitting 60fps-ish.

1080p/30fps will most likely remain the standard 'high end' choice though.

I think it's more likely they'll stay at 30fps and crank up the shaders/polygons/textures. People have been talking about a 60fps standard since the late 90s, it hasn't happened, I don't think it ever will.

Probably, but that's fine by me. There are some series/genres for which i hope 60fps remains the standard, but past that 30fps is alright in my books (providing the extra resources are utilized meaningfully, rather than a developer simply being too lazy to optimize for 60).

Not that i'd ever imply Ubisoft anyone would ever skimp out on optimizing time.
