We are not talking about backward compatibility ,both consoles already confirmed to have backward compatibility and will run games from old gen consoles with enhanced graphic, resolution and frame rates.  Also backward compatibility is another proof that Microsoft strategy with cross gen games is useless, because Xbox series X can already play Xbox One games without the need of Xbox series X version. 

PS4 exclusives looks better than high end PC because there is no high end PC exclusives developed for high end GPU!!!  If there is Nvidia 2080 TI exclusives then you have right to speak.

All games developed on PC until now are developed based on Xbox One original spec  from 2013 with Jaguar CPU and 1.3 teraflop. All modern games that came as multiplatform games are developed with the lowest spec  . The reason is , to make developer easy to develop and ported to high end PC and to run on mid gen refresh consoles (PS4 pro/X). High end PC like 2080 TI and mid gen refresh consoles will just scale up the games based on what old gen look like.

That's why high end PC is not representative for next gen, not because the hardware capability but because there is no exclusives games that develop to use and utilize the benefit of next gen spec on high end PC. The same thing is happening for Xbox X. All games will be just like  mid gen refresh consoles (Xbox One X /PS4 pro. Nothing new just old Xbox One games run at better frame rates , better resolution with the same graphic from Xbox One old era.   

Even if most PS5 first exclusive won't be ready (which i doubt that ) Sony still have 2 or three games prepared for PS5 exclusives from their first party  that will make PS5 more valuable to most gamers who already own Xbox. Hell even without games PS5 is a big names on US and the rest of the world and top brand name. PS5 will do just more than fine even without single games . We are talking about Xbox brand as a consoles here where it's existent is questionable to the rest of the world , hell even to US.  Xbox need exclusives to sell their console to compete with PS5. Or do you think the leser brand  like Xbox brand already become arrogant and under estimate PS5 brand as the champion ? 

 

It's clear that you know nothing about game development, it would be like asking my barber for help with tax issues. 

This site is called VGchartz, yet you seem unaware that Xbox been keeping up to the PS4 in the US. 28 million PS4 to 24.4 Xbox one.... yet somehow the Xbox brand is irrelevant even in the US.   

You've clearly never bothered with informing yourself with Video games history, the fall of Sony with PS3, rise and fall of Nintendo (Wii, WiiU & Switch). 

Microsoft pretty much gave last generation to Sony with Don Matrix weird marketing and the way they they wanted to have the Xbox Brand focus on being a multi media console. 

We about to have the start to a new generation yet your calling PS5 the champion without them having done anything.

It's clear with your statement that you have no ideas what been happening outside your Sony eco system. In order for Sony to obtain the same amount of success they would have to recreate the same environment that they had for the start of the PS4 era. That's simply not the case, Sony with the start of the Ps5 has to deal with:
*A Nintendo that is enjoying current success with Switch.
*A microsoft that has made huge invest in studios acquisition, wants to lead the industry in term of power and offer a Subscription service that Sony doesn't yet have an answer to with Gamepass. 
*There is also the launch of cloud service, with Google Stadia and Microsoft Xcloud.

Sony success is due to having sold the most console to the casual gamers. The same casual gamers that made Xbox 360 the market leader for the most part of the previous generation. You are aware that in order for Sony PS5 to be the market leader they need to have sold the most console. Also, Sony has the current market leader is the one company that stand to lose the most if the competition manage to grow their own install base compare to last generation.

Sony hasn't won anything yet when it comes to next generation and part of what you don't like with Microsoft or whatever the competition to PS5 is doing will actually appeal greatly to the casual market that picked up a PS4 last generation. Service like gamepass and being able to continues using older consoles mean alot more to this crowd then any Sony exclusives. 

Probably i am not but many expert from Digital Foundry already said this
