How to do frame-rate tests on a console

framerate

For 6th/7th/8th generation consoles, how do I do frame-rate tests, for an example, like this DigitalFoundry video?

Best Answer

Since console games are closed off to development/back-end analysis tools (such as a console you would find in a PC game), your only option to find the frame rate is using external hardware that directly interacts with your console or outputting video from your console to your computer for analysis by a special type of video software.
