True, at least as far as initial reactions are concerned.

But after a while everyone is going to realize that the unimpressive third party showings in Microsoft's event will be the same for the PS5, and that the much better received UE5 demo will be the same for the XSX.

Um first reactions are the biggest.  The 3rd party showcase was a mess and the message disconnect between Microsoft and Ubisoft for Assassin's Creed Valhalla is not a good look either.  Microsoft is the one making bold claim about their console.  As it fails to live up to them, that's going to tarnish its image...again.

Not really, tech demos are all great and good for showing the future but when you are ready to purchase either a PS5, XSX or PC/Upgrade, on the games that are release at the time will have any meaning.  There is no tarnish since MS showed what is releasing this year which anyone who has been on this rodeo knows will be cross gen games, especially from 3rd party developers.  We need to see MS and Sony first party to make any real judgement.
