Well its easier to hit 60 frames than 4k with the upgraded hardware however the one main reason why they bump the Res and not the Frames is due to compeititive play with consoles. Playing a FPS game against someone playing at 60 and you are capped at 30 gives a major disadvantaged. Unlike with PC where you have settings that can help achieve this. Consoles you dont.
We need a new a gen where the old games arent in the ecosystem anymore. However in doing so ruins Backwards compatitable and shrinks your library by a good margin.
I honestly hate starting again every gen with no games. Why i love PC gaming and my prefered choice.

Well you lost me there, you said the reason they bump the resolution instead of the frames is due to a competitive play with consoles...

But that's not a reason, that's actually an ANTI reason, cause it sounds like you are saying they bump res and not frames to specifically give a disadvantage to console players. Why would they want to do that?

Games run off an ecosystem. Its not as easy to just boost the frame rate because you ruin that ecosystem and will get a flood of complains of players claiming its not fair. 

Boosting Res does not give players an advantage. It's an entirely a visual thing. Frame rate on the other hand does give a massive advantage.

Imagine if all X1X games went for 60 frames over 4k. And your a compeitive MP gamer and cant afford the X? See the problem it causes.
