Not necessarily. Developers are always going to try to find the resolution at which their game looks the best without sacrificing graphic quality. To keep making competitive graphics, developers are going to favor pushing the envelope of detail and effects over reaching the higher resolution. So, the question becomes, do you want an amazing looking game at 720p/30fps or do you want a so-so looking game, compared to it's competition, at 1080p/60fps? Since console gamers are still kinda new to the resolution comparison party, many don't realize the give and take to go with graphics when people are developing games at the limit of a console's ability (or their programming ability for that console).
Think of it with these bars.
<low graphics -----------------|------------------high graphics>
<low resolution ----------------|------------------ high resolution>
<low famerate -----------------|-------------------high framerate
Every time you increase one of the above, the others fall. You can't increase all at the same time. Advances in hardware make it possible for games to perform better overall, but that doesn't mean that the above decision changes, it just means that the limit of what they can do has been moved and they are going to try to produce games at that limit. Decisions must be made as to which suits the game better.
I give that post a 9.5.
Thank god for the disable signatures option.
