It was 30fps at the E3 press conference, and 30fps seems to be Bungie's thing.

If you desperately need a bright side, look at it this way.
On your Mac, you probably use M&K, which imposes a direct high-precision correspondence between mouse motion and look angle, which means you really feel low framerates. Dual analogue controls are less precise and direct since they work on look angle derivatives, and one result is that a given low framerate usually won't burn as badly.

That said, the performance of Bioshock Infinite on consoles is obnoxious. Very serious case of pick your poison: use triple-buffered vsync and suffer the most stuttery adventure of your life, or enjoy okay responsiveness with vsync off while the screen tearing stabs at your eyeballs.
