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

Honestly I actually thought Sony's marketing was pretty good.

They knew early Microsoft would have the better console. So they focused on one area they could highlight a major step up from PS4, albeit an area where MS also has a major step up from Xbox One. They may even have altered the speed of their SSD as the cheapest viable way to create a point of difference.

They they lined up a bunch of current and former developers to say how great that is within a few hours of Cerny's presentation. And now plenty of people have decided on a dime teraflops don't matter.

How is that bad marketing?

Average gamers tuned in and were subsequently bored due to lack of showmanship. It’s not a big deal and something they can easily recover, but it could have been done better. Even a trailer or something to appease the masses would have gone a long way. 
PS fans weren’t eager to talk teraflops anyway...ssd fits the bill. 

If sony marketing team monitored the reactions (not only the volume, since that would be much higher than Xbox) but the quality and think it wasn't as good as expected and that it can impact sales they can make some summary video with the features and some new stuff in week or two.

And as I said before for GDC it was fine and I also loved the video, but putting side by side with MS, MS seems to have received better reception.
