Hopefully 3rd parties will go for 1080p 60 rather than 4K.

In the Xbox side, since DF mentioned it, I wonder what 12GB RAM in the Scorpio vs 8GB in the current Xb one will do in terms of games designed for Scorpio. Is it going to be tricky squeezing a game through a 33% smaller pipe? Keeping the PS4P RAM at 8GB does limit PS4P, but it seems like it might help to ensure games run well on all PS4 skus.

I'm not that hopeful. I mean it's not like you can double framerate with a 30% faster CPU. And by now it should be clear that the vast majority of developers puts visuals over performance every time.

But do they need to double frame rate? What if games on PS4 are able to hit 45 or 50fps reasonably reliably? 30fps is the set point because you either go 30 or 60. But just because you set the game at 30 doesn't mean that's the maximum it can achieve.
