Over the past year specific titles have gone back and forth over which sku was superior and even then it wasn't that much of a difference. The big talk at that time was how the Series X was going to be the king of multiplats and now tallying up the DF comparisons over the last year PS5 comes out with a slight advantage more often than not. DF comparisons are rarely posted now likely for this reason. It's a narrative that can no longer be spun by the usual suspects. Nonetheless, it's still nice to see and remind people such as Albert Penello, Tom Warren and quite a few others that they were wrong. :)

From a third party games standpoint I think the Xbox would have needed to be significantly more powerful than it is for a consistent performance advantage to be noticeable, and I think the main reason is that the PlayStation is very clearly the lead development platform like the PS4 was for 8th gen and the 360 was for 7th gen. The extra time, polish, and effort that PS versions of all the third party games get really helps the console punch above its weight class.
