Yes. Because the only important gameplay aspect in any game is that it runs at 60fps. If it doesn't, the developer isn't offering any gameplay.


That's the logic you're referring to. Right?

60 fps is not the only gameplay aspect obviously, but it is one of the most imporant things to have for a shooter game and you know it. Ask all the esport players and they will tell you how crucial 60 fps is.

I'm not putting this into question. For a game aspiring to become well received among the esport community, a smooth experience is one of the key. Add a perfect balance between classes and whatnot, and you can have a winner.

I'm only questioning the agenda here. Because Sony never once tried to turn one of their games into an esport (although Gran Turismo DID end up taking a life of its own). Great graphics don't directly correlate to worse gameplay. Two games can have virtually the same gameplay aspects, level designs and whatnot, one has stellar visuals running at 30 fps, while the other looks early gen but runs at 60fps. Depending on the game type and the player, one or the other (or both) will have no concequence to how much appreciation the player gets from the game. 

The fallacy that so many people here spread about games with great graphics not getting gameplay as good as games betting on strong fps perfromance has grown old quite a long time ago.
