If you are looking at it, as next gen are only going to be running current gen games and game engines sure.. however Consoles are not just going to sit on par with each other. Next gen games are not going to sit using todays gaming engines or settings and only adding for 4k/60 to them. If that was the case I will agree with you, however games are going to be design with next gen in mind, pushing the limits of these consoles, using new and more demanding engines, and the console with the better specs will be dishing out better effects, frames or resolution stability etc. 

We need to take into account that games will also be evolving and will be pushing these systems, Just think of the next Unreal Engine (5) games will be pushing effects, visuals, textures etc and that's where we will see what we saw this gen, some games will have more objects on screen, some games will have better lighting and shadowing, some games will have more grass and better draw distances etc. Its no different to how PC cards work, some games requires tune downs to keep a steady 60 or native 4k etc. 

I know I am beginning to sound like a broken record now... The XSX has a very specific advantage. GPU compute. And its such a small advantage that it is not going to amount to the kinda difference most seem to be suggesting. These consoles have the smallest differences between the HD twins..... ever. You don't have to take my word for it, and in time we will see.

Oh by the way, if MS is going with "worlds most powerful console", Sony should go with "worlds fastest console".
