Xbox Series X's cross-gen approach is robbing players of the next-gen thrill

I don't think it matters much if it was a 3rd or 1st party event. I mean if Sony does their official ps5 reveal and only show games like TLOU2, Ghosts of Tsushima with an "enhanced for ps5 logo", would that really create the same buzz as some new games that take a dramatic leap from anything we're seeing on ps4? 

It would create a lot of buzz if TLOU2 and Ghosts of Tsushima actually looked significantly better on PS5.

The interesting thing about UE5 is that engine can make great visuals like we saw in the demo. But that same demo could work on PS4 with scaled back visuals.

Maybe, but would it though if it looked pretty much identical only running in 4k and 60fps on ps5? Loads of people would buy it, but without the promise of true next games, I don't think it would be enough reason for most people to migrate.

I'm sure they could scale down that tech demo and have it running on ps4, but then it wouldn't look next gen anymore. It would look like a unreal 4 tech demo lol. The thing that made the unreal 5 demo look so impressive is the sheer amount of poly's and assets rendered on screen and the lighting that almost looked like Ray Tracing but at a fraction of the cost.
