It wan't just a 20 minute inside Xbox video, it was the first official look at what MS said were next gen games running on Series X. It was an open goal for MS to kick off next gen gaming and you don't have to be a mind reader to get why it bombed so hard. Just look at the comments...

"Really disappointed, nothing really caught my eye. Felt like these games can be on the Xbox one."

"Thats one small step up in graphics. One giant leap in console prices"

"Some of these "gameplays" have worse graphics than current games. What a waste of teraflops."

"So far I haven’t spotted a difference that human eyes can see"

There was nothing really wrong with the games themselves, some actually looked pretty cool. Also, MS showed exactly what they've been promising for months. Games that, just like pc, scale up and down their family of devices and will run the best on Series X. Like I said, it all sounded great on paper when no games were shown. But now that they have, people were pissed. 

Now for arguments sake, lets say they're going to do the same thing at July's event and we'll just be seeing 1st party Xbox One games with an optimized for Series X logo. Can you then honestly say you're not going to be disappointed? 

And I’m sure in your usual optimistic way, you expect all the games in their July “conference” to look as “disappointing” as some found them to be during the Inside Xbox “conference”. I’m not sure why I’m supposed to care about what others thought or why it is relevant to the discussion. 

There were next gen only games in the “conference”. Per usual you are getting your facts wrong.

If you will be disappointed totally depends on your exceptions of what next gen games should be about. If you're expecting Xone games like Halo Infinite, Forza 8 to be amazing and running on ultra settings, 60fps and some ray tracing effects on Series X, you probably won't be disappointed. However, if you're hoping to see games that are unlike any current gen games running on a high-end pc, you probably will be.  

And no, there weren't any next gen only games at the Series X first look event. There were a couple of games that were pc and series X, but that doesn't mean you're going to need a SSD and RTX2080 to run them. Hell, this is what Scorn looks like running on a pc in 2017: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpk4p5AriPs or Bright Memory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWgOHjAyiyk

It's the same thing with Godfall on ps5, which also isn't going to get people super excited for next gen games as the pc requirements will probably be a lot lower than what's in these next gen consoles.
