Despite the fact that grounded already released (even if full release will be later) I thought it wasn`t AAA, same with Tell me Why, so only Halo would count on this.

And certainly if Sony made several patches to have much improved versions of TLOU2, FFVIIR and other recent titles it wouldn`t be considered crossgen do you agree?

Again, the full release for Grounded is literally in early 2021 and listed for XOne/XSeries/PC.  Being able to get it in Game Preview now on 2 of 3 options doesn't distract from the fact that this mentality falls in line with Matt Booty's emphasis about XGS cross-gen games.  Well, fine.  If you want to remain hyper-specific about AAA games than thus far Halo: Infinite would be the only one.  Considering the sad gap in development between Infinite & whatever their next AAA title will be, it seems like that'll remain the case.

Sure.  If you want to discount Tell Me Why from consideration, that's what I was trying to get across with the cross-gen/back-compat issue.  

Not to be too blunt, but it feels like you're just weaseling out of your erroneous information from before. 

Not really, I was expecting much more relevant titles to be revealed as crossgen. MS message on leaving no one behind and all seemed to be important to them. And Yes I only count AAA titles because really the titles that was discussed that X1 could hold down as crossgen were AAA since other titles wouldn't really be using the Series X.

As I said it is funny that Sony even without saying they would have crossgen or leave no one behind and that they wanted a fast transition still have more AAA titles being crossgen. And sure it raises concerns about PS4 holding down the game, it is a very valid concern that only after the game launch can be dispel.
