PS5's marketing feels worse than PS4, while Series X's marketing is better than Xbox One's.

theres no ps5 marketing yet as the console hasnt been revealed

That's my point.  

They've been publicly talking about the console for nearly a year.  And yet their gamer focused message has been cloudy at best:

Thus far PS5 is being presented as for the developer.  

In sharp contrast to the PS4, which day 1, as soon as they even acknowledged the existence of the PS4, presented it as a console for both developers and gamers.

That was a GDC talk not meant for us,wasn't really marketing to us but to devs.

Yes I'm aware.  But that's part of the problem.  

Not really a problem. MS just revealed XB early and yet the PS5 logo generated more buzz. NX was talked about forever but not revealed til October 2016 and we still knew almost nothing. 3 months before launch is when they gave us solid info. 52 million systems later...  . Once Sony shows a box and price it will generate more buzz than Xbox unless Sony pulls an Xbox One with odd restrictions that piss everyone off.
