While I can't find anything concrete on whether or not consoles will be going above 60hz, what I can find is a lot of people saying they don't.
Personally, I have a 120hz 50 inch Samsung with a gaming PC setup on it in the living room, despite the amazing picture quality it gives I can't tell the difference between 120 and 60 on it like I can a good gaming monitor. Anyways, it's not much more expensive to go 120hz so may as well go ahead as I assume you will be keeping the TV for quite awhile.

120Hz TV's use motion interpolation, its not the same as a 120Hz monitor. It takes two frames, calculates whats changed, and inserts a fake frame inbetween the two to create the illusion of a higher framerate. This is no good for gaming because it creates input lag.
Anyways, if you are on console, you are stuck at 60Hz even if you have a 120/144Hz monitor, the consoles don't have the ports able to put out that many frames, and even if they could the games are all capped or vsync'd.
