Me mentioning the PS 1 and PS 2 wasn't a dig at Sony those two are the best known backwards compatible consoles I could have easily mentioned other consoles and devices like the Wii U, Nintendo DS, Atari 5200 and Sega Power Base Converter. I owned all previous Sony home consoles and currently own a PS2 slim, PS 3 super slim and PS 4 slim. Unless the series X gets a radical redesign of its entire architecture once it gets a slim model, the X Box S will always be the cheapest in both console cost and power consumption cost and easiest way to play all X Box and current backwards compatible games so it will never become redundant.

Backwards compatibility may be a selling point for you... And it's most certainly a positive selling point for me, but it's not for everyone.
I already own a substantial OG Xbox and Xbox 360 game library with consoles to match, it's not a must-have feature, it's nice, don't get me wrong, the enhanced titles really made the scheme worth it, but sadly were few and far between.
Either way, the Xbox One is not compatible with every single Xbox 360 and Original Xbox library, the Xbox One is only backwards compatible with 27.6% of the Xbox 360 game library and 4.09% of the Original Xbox game library.
But the Xbox Series X will be compatible with every Xbox One game, even the games it's backwards compatible with (I.E. Xbox 360 and OG Xbox) thus from a games library perspective, the Xbox One is a redundant console, there is still a point to keep your Original Xbox and XBox 360 consoles as there are still games on those devices that cannot be played anywhere else. (I.E. Naruto: Rise of a Ninja)
Now it's interesting you bring up something like the WiiU... The WiiU is backwards compatible with the Wii, but in doing so... The Wii still remains relevant as the WiiU is not backwards compatible with the Gamecube like the Wii.
Something like the PS2 having full hardware support for PS1 games, did certainly make the PS1 a redundant console, better off buying a PS2 instead.
The Gameboy advance having hardware backwards compatibility with Gameboy/Gameboy Colour games certainly made those prior devices redundant.

Also I say it again the X Box has exclusive games just because they don't appeal to doesn't mean they don't exist.

Feel free to name them.
You have Halo 5 which is the only notable exclusive... And that title was fairly average for a Halo game... Also released a long time ago.
There is Forza 5, but it's a Forza game, you only get one every year.
Rare Replay is a collection of games from other devices, so whilst technically an exclusive release, the games themselves are not.
Gears of War 4, Gears of War 5, Sea of Thieves, Killer Instinct, Ori and the Will of the Wisps/Blind Forest, Sunset Overdrive, Halo: Master Chief Collection, Halo Wars 2, Sea of Thieves, Recore, Quantum Break and more are all... You know. On PC or other devices, thus they aren't exclusive, they are all solid games though.
