Turning this into a tech conversation makes no sense, especially not a PC vs Console one lol.
Even looking at PS5 vs XSX, its nonsensical to think you can make assertions about respective platforms power from comparing a UE5 tech demo to a bunch of cross gen trailers. It simply boils down to whether you prefer to see an ambitious tech demonstration of what we'll see down the road or do you prefer the quick showcase of some games coming in the near future.
Easy answer is there is a time a place for both.
Technically MS already had their tech showcase with Hellblade 2, in which case UE5 Demo is significantly more impressive since it was actual real time rendering and gameplay, whereas HB2 was more like an artist expectation based off "in-engine assets" versus anything running on realtime on XSX. That's why it didn't create waves when revealed.
Meanwhile the game showcase which MS had was underwhelming because many were not running on XSX, many were GCI and many didn't have gameplay. None really showed why we would want to invest $500 into a new machine.
End point is, this is a marketing discussion and sony branding the UE5 showcase generated far more excitement in me than anything MS has presented, so sony played their cards right there after the complete misfire of the GDC talk. Lets see what happens next.
