Sure...I think pretty much everyone would take 60 fps over 30 fps if you didn't have to give anything up for it, but there are certainly hardcore gamers who would rather have 1080p/30 than 720p/60. For instance, in the example you gave, I'd much rather have 1080p/30 purely because jagged edges really bother me in a game. 720P can be fine, but it needs REALLY good AA.

Thats the thing..... AA is a very resouce heavy thing. If you want really good AA on a 720p game, to make it look at least as good as a 1080p game with a less resource heavy AA solution, the amount of resources you would need would pretty much make you better off just rendering the game at 1080p.

If AA was the be all end all to IQ then no one would really bother upping resolutions and just focus instead on great AA. But great AA to an extent is akin to doing just that, upping the resolution.
