The problem is it’s just hard to believe them, when they were stating they’d be spending 1 Billion for new games, just a few years ago and we all know what happened. I say it again...once a liar always a liar. Trust is the biggest of MS’s issues atm.

That statement was in 2013 though.
https://www.engadget.com/2013/05/29/microsoft-investing-1-billion-into-games-on-xbox-one/
Since 2013 we have had:
* Crimson Dragon.
* Halo: The Master Chief Collection.
* Halo 5.
* Forza Motorsport 5.
* Forza Motorsport 6.
* Forza Horizon 2.
* Forza Horizon 3.
* Rare Replay.
* Sunset Overdrive.
* Cuphead.
* Dead Rising 3.
* Halo Wars: Definitive Edition.
* Halo Wars 2.
* Ori and the Blind Forest.
* Quantum Break.
* Project Spark.
* Gears of War: Ultimate Edition.
* Gears of War 4.
* Recore.
* Ryse: Son of Rome.
* Titanfall.
* And more.
I don't know about you... But you do realize how expensive game development is getting right? We have probably seen more than a billion dollars in game investment since that statement was made.
Plus you have Crackdown 3, Sea of Thieves, State of Decay 2, next Halo, Forza and Gears and we have an Age of Empires coming....
And we cannot forget the cancelled games of Scalebound and Fable: Legends either which was a ton of investment by themselves.
2017 was an absolute colossal failure for Microsoft and the Xbox brand with pretty much only Halo Wars 2 (Technically a 2016 release if you got in Early access) and Cuphead.
Next year could actually be decent as a few titles got pushed back, it's 2019 that has me worried, might be another 2017 repeat?
Microsoft now has great hardware on the market, they just need the games to actually make good use of it now... I need an excuse to actually turn my Xbox One X on. - I am hoping for more RTS and TBS games, wouldn't mind a good space sim either.
Maybe a return of Fable, Black and White and Freelancer?

Sony, even at their presentation, never made a secret out of the methods PS4 Pro would be using to reach dynamic 4K. It was Microsoft misleadingly talking about "true 4K" which they even are until today, so be careful throwing stones if you're sitting in a glass house.
You do remember Sony was using the same slogan for a whole year before, right?!
Sony also never tries to fool people about exclusivity like MS do. I mean they even still do it at the PUBG website.

We already know it's NOT a console exclusive.

Neither consoles are "true 4K" or "Dynamic 4k" platforms.
Just like the Xbox One and Playstation 4 are not "true 1080P" platforms.
Microsoft and Sony just offered a platform with specific hardware capabilities and a maximum output resolution of 3840x2160, the rest is completely up to the developers. - Thus a more accurate descriptor is that both consoles are more like "Up to 4k" platforms and the Xbox One and Playstation 4 are "Up to 1080P" platforms.
However the Xbox One X by extension of having superior hardware will hit 4k more often than the Playstation 4 Pro without the reliance on reconstruction tricks, that's just common sense.
