Depends on the game. But I agree that the majority of games would benefit from 60FPS

Isn't framerate vs graphics largely up to the developers? I mean, maybe MS will force framerate over graphics on its own developers?

Won't matter what they prioritize if they don't have RPGs. I would prefer stable good frame rates. If that is 1080p/60fs than I prefer that over 4k/30fps. I don't really give a damn about 4k itself. I don't even have a 4k tv and I probably won't until I can get a 34" 4k tv for a cheap enough price.

Nice. Horizon 4 looks gorgeous in 4k but I always play in the 60fps mode. 

I don't know which is funnier. To see a layman discussing spec, engines, limitations etc against Pemalite or CGI-Quality.
The guy develop assets and is part on game design but would know less about the difference on pixel count, framerate, etc than regular user of VGC.
I do love my 4k on 65" at 5ft from the TV, and I may discuss my impressions (which may be false perception) on the differences, but on technical discussion would be silly stuborness to disprove what is being said (with sources) by CGI.

Interview reads more like it’s Microsoft who will be prioritizing frame rate over graphics, which makes more sense. They’ll nail it. Look at Scorpio. So much talk about how it would barely see native 4k games since the Pro was struggling to produce many at all and Scorpio ended up getting a ton of them. 

BC is another interesting tidbit from that interview. Apparently they’re going to continue expanding the BC of older games on Scarlett? I was under the assumption they closed BC down. I guess that was just for this gen. And wow controllers are going to be BC? I guess I forgot about that. That’s amazing because the Xbone pad is my favorite ever, just ahead of DC.

The flagship games of MS would probably benefit more from 60fps than majority of 3rd party games so it makes sense for them to focus on it even if just at the start of the gen. And even if MS considers it very important it would be almost impossible to mandate 3rd parties to make all games 60fps.

I think both the ps5 and the scarlett will push fps more... the CPU in the current gen systems was the most limiting factor. With the new gen having pretty potent CPUs, the developers that want to push high fps wont have a CPU bottleneck, but I fully believe that it will be a developer decision, just as it always has been. I'm excited for what the new systems will bring to the table.

Phil spencer gets it, Frame rate > Resolution > visuals.

Who is this layman you speak of? Would you like me to educate them? Also do you know what they do for a living and can you prove otherwise? This might help back up your claim on them.

Glad you like your 4k TV, so do I and I am looking forward to upgrading mine to a 9 series Samsung very soon as well as grabbing a top notch monitor, still deciding on brand choice for the monitor.
