Yup is just twice the ram and have slightly more FLOPS which is why is just slightly 

 Stop discussing games that intended made for Old gen and run on high end. That's not cross gen is. 

Cross gen games are games that made for both Current gen and next gen so stop mentioning Zelda BOTW (or like TLOU) those games are not Cross gen but games that made for old gen that ported to new gen.

No matter how good the developer is there is always limitation which is "OLD HARDWARE' . Developer cannot magically change the limitation of old hardware ". Games that are made on for both will be limited on how powerful last gen consoles is. The closer the gap between old gen and next gen the more unlikely we see bad cross gen games, but the bigger the gap is (Xbox One - Xbox Series X) the more we see games are held by Xbox One. 

That's just fact , developer ain't God that can change reality. 

Ok what’s your overall message? Its not “cross gen games are held back by the older gen” because we all kinda know that. I mean what’s the narrative you got that expands that statement? 

Because if that’s all you got then it really just serves the “my console is better then yours narrative”. And if this is the best argument against Xbox in 2020 I say Xbox is doing pretty good for THIS to be the leading argument against it ;) All moot point if the games are critically acclaimed. It’s hard to boast superiority if your consoles launch titles are lesser quality then another.

But you must acknowledge there are so many factors at play that don’t make this what you got pictured in your head (scaling and optimization). There are many examples of cross gen games that have features in the latest hardware that are cut from the older version. That alone is a nice work around to your argument. 

Simple answer is cross gen are bad
