I can't enforce a definition of "next gen" but mine doesn't allow The Last of Us Remastered to be a "next gen" title in the PS4 when it released simply because of a facelift. It was an enhanced edition of a last gen game.

If Micro releases Xbone-SEX multiplats and makes the Xbone version look good and actually sell the idea that those games look good in both versions then they can't help but put themselves in a ditch when they try to argue that what they are putting out in terms of exclusives put PS5 dead in the water.

If Xbox One can get the job done, enough for Micro to release a Xbox SEX game because they think it is worth buying in Xbox One, then PS5 does that and more.

You can't try to undermine the gap between your old gen and new gen while overselling a supposed gap between your console and your competitor's which runs parallel to what you offer hardware-wise.

Of course, this may be a temporary situation until Micro stops sharing SEX exclusives with Xbox One.

I’d think of it more as Witcher 3 PC vs Witcher 3 on Switch in terms of gap where the high end version stands out on its own merits. Plus they did announce Halo is natively built around Series X and thus will be ported down so not the same as a porting-up remaster like LOU on PS4. 

I maintain this is only for the launch year, where no developers are able to squeeze out maximum potential out the gate. So in the meantime, MS just not gonna abandon late adopters day 1 next gen, which I think is win win. 

So if Halo on XSX compared to X1 doesn't show the same difference as Witcher 3 high end PC vs Switch we can expect you to complain a lot?
