"So instead of being just at 30 you can run north of 45 frames or better. It’s one of those things that, when you start playing it, it’s great for those speed runners and those hardcore gamers who are just like ‘I want to get through this as quick as I can, I want seamless controls’"

 

And this bullshit right here is the reason why console games never have acceptable performance. They think anything but solid 60 is acceptable. They think high framerate is special gift from them to us when it should be the norm. They think it's only for a small subset of gamers when actually everyone would benefit from it.

Why 60fps? That seems arbitrary.

Because most TVs and monitors don't go further than that, which means anything between it and 30 is likely to cause tearing and if it's not locked, stuttering. I personally prefer stable 144fps, which is another noticeable jump from 60.
