I understand that, Im not asking from a "numbers" perspective. I am asking from a will Lvl 60 be similar to Lvl 99 in D2 where it takes a fairly long amount of time for the average player to get there? Or will every one be level 60 by the time they finish Inferno mode?

If the whole 60 cap is true then Im fine with that, Im just saying I think they should have made it lvl99 like D2 with no increases.

if it makes you feel any better, jay wilson hasn't beat inferno yet solo or with 4. He played over 1000+ hours as well.
Also, if softcore inferno gets easier later in the game, play hardcore inferno because they said it's not designed to be beat =)

Jay has not beaten Diablo inferno difficulty, as a solo player or in a 4-player multiplayer game
the +1000hrs was said in one of his interviews on youtube, can't find the vid though.

if softcore players will have a hard time beating inferno, good luck in hardcore imo.

Jay Wilson: “When we’re testing the highest difficulty level, we don’t force testers to level-up from scratch each time. Their chars receive randomized equipment of 0.5~1 lvl under the boss’s level. After 20 attempts the boss was still undefeated. We hope the most difficult bosses will be really, really hard to beat, as we know from experience never, NEVER underestimate our players. We set the difficulty based on how our most skilled staff felt to be adequate. Then we MULTIPLY THIS BY 2 upon release”

(P.S. He further explains that “times by 2″ not only refers to mob damage output & HP, but also to the extent that players will need to “apply combat skills depth”.)

Update: Better translation reveals that Jay said “might not” be a clvl increase in expansion. Also, RoShin added translation clarification in comments:
