You speak as if gameplay downgrade is not a thing.

As per your point, I will be extremely surprised if ANY company shows a game this year that looks as good as that demo. Furthermore, ever since MS announced that they will be focusing on 60fps, I think it is safe to assume that Sony´s games will probably look more impressive graphically speaking. Will that affect sales on the first year? it's hard to say, but I'm inclined to think that most people who buy a console on the first year have already their mind up even before said consoles are announced.

I don't expect early PS5/XSX games to look as good as the UE5 demo either, but I'm sure the demo still got a lot of people hyped to buy a PS5. The demo has over 12 million views already, more than most trailers for high-profile games.

MS should make a similar case for why theirs is the box to get for those who want amazing next gen visuals.

I'm not entirely sure they actually need to do it. Like I said before, most people who buy a console in its first year are hardcore gamers who already have an alliance to an specific brand. I mean, millions of people purchased the X1 knowing full well that they were paying $100 more while getting less visual quality in all multiplatform games. If that doesn't tell you how dedicated these people are to their ecosystem then I don't know what will.

And don't get me wrong, I know that beautiful graphics get a lot of people hyped and even convince them to make a purchase, but you make it sound like the whole fate of the next gen relies solely on the graphics of the first few games shown; but I think what matter the most is the actual quality of the games in the first year (as long as the price and power difference is not that large between the two systems) because that's when the not-so-hardcore crowd comes in and makes their decision based on comparisons of what the two consoles have to offer.
