60 FPS on Consoles

Running at 60 FPS is standard for arcade & PC games, but hardware restrictions of consoles often force developers to aim for lower framerates in order to preserve visual detail or allow greater scale. 3D console games hitting 60 FPS are thus uncommon, though the trend of re-releasing games on newer hardware has technically resulted in more 3D console games hitting 60 FPS.

Frame Rate

Frames per second is the rate at which a game can render individual and unique consecutive frames in order for the game to be seen on screen by the human eye.
Frame Rate Lock For Console Games

A rare few console games will provide a setting that allows players to lock the frame rate at 30 frames-per-second. This is typically for console games where the frame rate is able to rise above 30 but isn't consistent. However turning the setting on may also sacrifice vertical-synchronization in the process.
Lag

The delay between what you do and when it actually happens, latency can result in a lessened ability to enjoy a game or get high scores.
PC to Console Port

Console games that derive from a past PC exclusive release, either due to popular demand or poor sales.
