PS5 and Xbox Series X: only next-gen exclusives are the same
After the announcements of the PS5 event it emerged that many of the titles for Sony's new console will be cross-gen. So, doing a quick tally, PS5's next-gen-only exclusives currently are roughly equivalent to Xbox Series X's.
By next-gen exclusives we mean all those titles that have been announced only for Xbox Series X and PS5, so without Xbox One and PS4 versions. Of course we have not considered the PC, which is a story in itself. We have also included the time exclusives, which we have underlined by writing them in italics. As a result, there are currently 12 next-gen-only games announced for PS5 and 10 for Xbox Series X. With the former having five time exclusives and the latter two. If we remove the latter from the count, we have an 8 to 7 for Xbox Series X.
So let's see the lists of next-gen exclusives announced so far for Xbox Series X and PS5 (the temporal ones in italics).

After all, just last night it was learned that not only Marvel's Spider-Man Miles Morales, but also Horizon Forbidden West and Sackboy are cross-gen titles.
