How important is 60fps to you?

Why not you ask? Maybe Sony would be able to get away with it but I can guarantee you with 100% certainty that if MS announced tomorrow that HB2 and Gears 6 will be running at 1080p-30fps the whole internet and media would not shut up about how "disappointed" they are and how that is not acceptable for a next-gen game, no matter how good the trailers might look. Heck, one of the Digital Foundry guys already caused a commotion on Twitter because apparently, a "1080p UI is 'unacceptable' in a next-gen console"

Heck, I'm willing to bet that many of the people that are here defending 30fps would be first in line criticizing them.

Well didn't know MS fans this sort of fetish in 60 FPS games but I assure you neither Nintendo nor Sony sales are being halved by the lack of 60 FPS. Maybe you should stop paying attention to this media outlets and pay attention to what the majority of gamers are playing. PC gamers who can afford high end hardware are another thing altogether, they are paying premium price for their hardware and they are more well versed about tech and system specifications, so it's not unnatural for someone who is affording a 2k USD PC be not only more picky but also more conforming if your PC doesn't run a game at higher res/frames it your PC at fault and you just need to upgrade it

The reality of console market is not the same. People want to play consoles because of both simplicity and familiarity, you get a game and this game runs as good as possible in your hardware. The mindset is if the game doesn't perform well then it's the game that isn't well enough optimized, you see? Nobody really blames the hardware, because the devs knew exactly for what hardware they were developing for. If running 30 FPS is the best (sometimes the only) way of putting said game to run on consoles so be it, in you are unsatisfied I strongly advice you to go PC gaming because console gaming isn't for you 

Might want to add price to that as well. I can guaranty you that there are plenty of people who would love to have a 2k pc but the best they can do is a 500 console. And if that's all you can have you know there will be compromises. So you hope the devs do the best they can with the limited hardware and 30fps is sometimes a must.
