Well, that sucks. I'm so used to 60+ fps that 30 looks like slideshow to me. If this was also released on PC I wouldn't give two monkeys, but now it looks like I'm gonna have to get used to more "cinematic" experience.

Edit:

At this point I don't understand why would anyone go for PS4Pro upgrade over original, where most of in house AAA, system sellers, run nither in native 4k nor 60fps. Total waste of money IMO.

For PS4 Pro its more about loading times being less and having a smoother experience. Yes it can do 4K but thats not really what you are paying for. It is a minor cost in comparison to the standard PS4. Some games will be optimized for it and some wont. That in general however is why mid gen refreshes are a bad idea. MS will learn this shortly with the onex.That console is way too expensive and will see no better visuals than the PS4 Pro.

From my experience, the PS4 does not do any of those things better than the base PS4.  Its does not have faster memory, HDD or any subsystems.  

On the other hand MS X1 has a greater chance on improving on all of these points because every part of the system is faster than the base X1 and even the PS4 Pro.  Memory and HDD are faster.  With more memory avaliable it can be used as a cache and stated so by MS thus allowing the developer to load and keep more parts of the game in memory for faster access.  If anything the X1X will probably perform on a hold much better than all current systems on the market.
