Well did you see any game in MS's conference that looked like it couldn't be possible on Xbox One? Smart Delivery is basically the same thing we're seeing on pc or with ps4 pro/ X1X patches. MS did a great job marketing it, but isn't it normal that we don't have to pay for ps4 pro and X1X patches?
Like Permalite said, multi platform games are usually designed with the lowest common denominator (Xbox One) as the base platform and then up-scaled for more powerful hardware, mostly by simply increasing resolution/framerate and adding some effects. That's why MS didn't wow people like Sony did. They were showing X1 games running in 4k with some added effects, while the tech demo was designed to showcase what's possible on ps5 by using the specific next-gen features of Unreal 5. The demo was probably pushing the ps5 to its limits at 30fps/1440p and would set the ps4 on fire if you tried to run it on there.

aside from the probably, how many times did you pay for gta V?

I usually don't buy games twice but GTA5 was the rare exception when I did actually. I never said smart delivery is a terrible idea, it is very consumer friendly and it would be a nice bonus if Sony offered something similar. All I'm saying is that I don't think it should be their main focus. Series X running the same games as the X1, only better, simply isn't going to get consumers fired up like the promise of new experiences would.
We will see in July, but tell me honestly that you wouldn't be disappointed if they again showed a bunch of 1st party X1 games with an optimized for Series X logo? I'd much rather see something that isn't running in 120fps and makes the same kind of impression the Unreal 5 demo did.
