 1080p/60fps then effectively it is all that matters.

1080p/60fps will NEVER be standard, not even on PS4. or PS5 for that matter.

Most devs will always choose more detail at 30fps.

It will be the standard on consoles, someday, just not for a long while.

On PC, there is no standard, there is simply a question mark of how much you want to pay for graphical fidelity.

 

Those willing to pay can have all the pretty 60fps or higher fun they want, consoles being fixed platform means fitting as wide a budget bracket as possible, so the hardware can't be too exotic.

Next gen however there will be enough power in consoles for 1080p 60fps to be the norm, with more intensive games or badly optimized ones jumping around the 40-60 range.

I've heard the argument that 60fps will become standard on consoles before; in 1998 when the 6th gen was looming, then again in 2005 when the 7th was announced, then in 2012. Every time, devs continued to favour 30fps with more detail.
