Fair enough, but the thing you seem to fail to realize is that everybody is different and have different tastes. Demon Souls is the reason FOR YOU, but for others will be Spiderman, for others might even be Sackboy, for others will be the ability to play Cyberpunk or COD in 1440p/60FPS, etc, etc. That's why I find it highly distasteful when someone comes in here saying "it's an abysmal launch." Like, it might be an abysmal launch FOR YOU, but you don't get to say what others should or should not be excited about.

People can be excited for what they want, but it doesn't change the fact that it could have been launched with better games. You can either put up with it or make your voice heard so things change for the better. Halo was always an xbox one game, having it launch as a series x game wouldn't make much difference. We should be getting great games built for next gen, for launch, or atleast a taste of what't to come, and higher resolution and fps to older games or multiplats isn't good enough, this is how it should be for all next gen releases.  As for ps5, it's got its exclusives on launch, but demon's souls is what saves it, as everything else looks like a ps4 game. Lbp3 looks next gen, but I don't know if it's a fully fledged game or something low budget. 

And I guess you're the one who decides what are the "better games" and what should or should not be "good enough." You keep saying that "demon's souls is what saves the PS5," but again, that's what saves it FOR YOU. I'm sure many people will buy the PS5 and won't even look at DS; heck, I'm willing to bet that Demon Souls won't be the best selling game on PS5.

Name me one exlusive that should make everyone rush out and buy a series x on launch.  Buying a console for the sake of having it cause it's future proof is the funniest thing I heard. 

Launch week? Not much, unless you really like both Gears and XCOM and are therefore interested in Gears Tactics. But before the end of the year the first 2 episodes of Remedy's CrossFireX campaign and The Medium are set to release, one is a AAA exclusive and the other a AA, both are pretty cool. Maybe not huge system sellers, but Xbox doesn't need huge system sellers to sell out this Holiday, I mean the day one preorders sold out in less than an hour in almost every country, in less than 10 minutes in some countries. Consoles always sell out at launch, even Xbox One had the 3rd biggest console launch of all-time (only behind PS4 and Switch), and it had just about every factor imaginable going against it (higher price, weaker specs, negative PR from the poor reveal, etc.). And Series S should be huge this Holiday with parents and grandparents buying Christmas presents, thanks to it's low $300 price tag. MS just needs to get a system seller out in early 2021 to keep the sales strong into next year, be it Halo Infinite or something else. 

Also plenty of people buy for future proofing. I'm buying at launch mainly to get better graphics on the 3rd party multiplats like Cyberpunk, AC Valhalla, and Watch Dogs Legions, though I plan to play a few of the launch window exclusives on Gamepass as well.

Look i'm not trying to argue for the sake of picking sides or putting one console down. I want all gamers to get the best for what they pay for on launch. I just don't like it that they can't launch a system without a killer exclusive or some small games that showcase next gen. Maybe it's early for devs to show off the it's power, so maybe it's premature  for both consoles to release this year.  I would much rather see a console release with something stunning, something not seen before to get us excited for next gen gaming.

He presents his reasoning as older games and multiplats not being good enough and the game that is happens to be a remaster of a game on another older platform.

I wouldn't bother responding.
