Everyone talking about how 4K is suddenly the holy grail, meanwhile I just want a console which can play every single game at a solid 60FPS ¯_(ツ)_/¯. Both the PS4Pro and XB1X would be infinitely more interesting to me if the focus was on that instead of 4K and hopefully it will be the focus of the PS5 and whatever comes after the XB1X.

Developers will always want to max out the graphics even if it means sacrificing 60fps in favor for 30fps. It's going to be more down to whether they offer the option to tone the graphics down in favor of framerate, which some games do for the Pro. If Sony mandates developers to offer a performance mode and a graphics mode, then it should appease both sides.

Also, I think we're hitting the point of diminishing returns at 4K resolution. I remember Richard Leadbetter mentioning that it takes quite some effort to notice the difference between checkerboard 4K vs native 4K even at a close distance. Next gen, I think there will be more emphasis on other aspects like AI and physics.

This indeed will be the challenge for the next round of consoles. They need to do something else, and I dont mean TV TV TV :D but full backwards compatible 60FPS where possible, fully customised for the player, performance vs screen res as not everyone will have 4K TV....
