I'd argue this generation actually did deliver performance-wise, most games release with a performance mode that targets 60fps whereas the PS3/PS4 generation felt mostly stuck to 30FPS.
Honestly, that's fair. Maybe I was being a little too harsh, plus this gen did come with more customizable settings (IE, setting to "performance mode" or "fidelity" mode)
And often, the fidelity mode is close to or sometimes native 4k, whoch is impressive for a console. Remember when full 1080p was the push?
Well, yeah, this gen is pretty much last gen but 60fps.
Except when it tries to do fancy UE5 features or raytracing then you get that 30 fps with smeary FSR
Up until recently I think most TVs weren't 60Hz
TVs have been 60Hz as standard for a long long long time. We're talking multiple decades.
Even in the CRT days, almost all TVs (in North America, that is) were rated at 60Hz.
