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

Thanks for summarising my point, better than I did aha.

I think you guys are coming to the conclusion 8th gen games of 2013/2014 were less impressive than you were suggesting.

So the goalpost moves to just presentation. But even there 9th gen consoles can offer a massive overall visual improvement. The cross gen games coming for the 9th gen launch will more closely resemble the experience of higher end gaming PCs. That may include 4K and/or 60 fps in some cases.

No goalposts has been moved. The point is that last gen we had titles that were clear next generation in terms of either visual fidelity or things the game could do that previous gen games could not. 

We still had cross gen titles that had added resolution/frame rate and a cleaner image like we will have this year.

But I don't think we've seen anything so far that says, yep that definitely couldn't have been done on XB1X without severely cutting back. Resogun for example, a small indie game that came out with the PS4 that could never ever have ran on a PS3.
