Nah, it's not standard for all PC games at all. There are really no real standards on the PC at all. Try to run Crysis in an equivalent of 1080p on the PC on hardware from 2 generations ago.
Sony claimed games to support resolutions "up to 1080p", which implied it won't be standard / mandatory. We already know Microsoft was wrong with regard to claiming you can't have a performing game in 1080p on the PS3. Super Stardust HD and Gran Turismo 5: Prologue (both rendering in 1080p @ 60 FPS) are two of the PS3's most impressive and solidly performing PS3 games currently available and it's still early days with for example Housemarque anticipating to be able to get 50% more graphics perfomance out of their next PS3 game while there's still a big amount of untapped SPE potential to tap into (the game does over 20,000 super fast moving colliding physics based objects on screen at once as well as a over a hundred thousand particle effects).
