Well think about it this way. Ultimately the games do the talking.

Is Halo Infinite available on PlayStation? 

Repeat this question but change the game for everything they show at the July 23rd conference. The answer for all 1st party games you insert should lead to “no”. And if they look great on Series X, then I don’t see an issue :)

Disclaimer (read in fast disclaimer ad voice on tv): Doesn’t include games all ready locked to multiplatform release aka Wasteland 3, Psychonauts 2, and Minecraft/Minecraft Dungeons. 

Well, what you are bringing is a discussion on what makes Xbox or any console have individual value which I agree, it's the games they offer that nobody else does or direct competitors don't that makes them standout.

But I am talking about the specific PR regarding XboxSex hardware. In this moment we have Micro getting their "exclusive" SEX games released between both old and new gen and as long as they do that people will point out that the potential of XboxSEX is not being demonstrated, or that new gen is not that impressive at all, even more difficult to claim a gap with your current gen competitor, PS5.

I’d argue cross gen arguably helps distinguish the difference. Halo Infinite base Xbox One vs Series X will show differences in FPS, resolution, draw distances, AI, textures, ray tracing. Maybe even a mode unique to Series X that Xbox One cant do. 

But nm that, as long as their games look next gen in their own right, regardless of the games being cross gen, concern trollers will make little difference. Series X is after all about 20% stronger then PS5 and I would think 1st party devs can leverage that. 

And I believe Sony is in a similar situation. Spiderman MM is supposedly built off the base game with upgrades next gen elements. GT7, Sackboy, Destruction All Stars, all games that PS4 could also do.
