And for the 100th time: MS cross-gen strategy is only for a limited time window. That strategy will probably already over and forgotten when the first AAA games "built by ground up" with Nanite and Lumen in mind will be released.

UE5 ain't available for developers yet, and developing AAA games takes years.

And ain't it a bit hasty to assume that Sony already has "their own Nanite-like tech" and that they had that soooo much earlier than Epic Games that they can reveal a lot of "true next-gen" games with that feature which you expect for launch or next year?

When Sony is the one that defined the HW and capabilities then I'm pretty much sure their engines will have Nanite and Lumen type of technology in mind even before UE5 release for devs.

Not sure why you would believe that.  Lumen and Nanite are features of UE5 and I doubt that Epic was handing over that tech to Sony just because they used their hardware to demonstrate the engine.  I am sure Sony developers will have tech that take advantage of the PS5 but who knows if they were working on the same concepts.  There can be many different solutions to solve a particular problem.  Sony devs could have something better or worse or nothing at all at this time, there is no telling until we actually see something.  

On another note, building a new engine and then using it to produce games takes a long time.  Since we have no ideal how long Sony has worked on any new engine for their first party games it could be years before we see any results.  The advantage Epic has is that they are not making an engine and a game at the same time so they can concentrate 100% on their engine which is something they excel at.
