Because there's no excuse to not have it. It's effectively the same architecture as before.

It would also speak against your console versus pc when I have to choose between upgrading and playing what I already have.

My question is why is it getting so much attention this time? I think it's 'cause there ain't no real next gen games as said above.
There were rumors floating that the PS5 was gonna be hugely backwards comp. Think Sony even filed a patent for a device that played all/most previous gen games, which was responsible for these rumors. A network of bloggers latched on to this non-story and spent months building up a false expectation that left people disappointed.

While this video could be a fake, it seems natural to me for the new consoles to have overheating issues. They are tiny relative to the hardware they are packing. For the same hardware on PC you need a huge case, lots of fans everywhere, etc. And it is not a single SoC....

Why is there smoke coming out of your Xbox Seymour?

Oh... That isn't smoke. It's Steam! From the Steam integration we're adding!

I would prefer to upgrade my gaming PC to some sweet sweet Ryzen 5XXX series cpu and a prestigious Navi 2 gpu instead. Consoles are for fags.
Consoles are indeed for fags, but this comparison makes no sense. You'd spend 50% more than the price of a PS5 to buy just the videocard (RX6800/RTX3080 - IF you could even find one), or the price of a PS5 to get a midrange card (RX6700/RTX3070).

It's something Phil Spencer has been working on since he took over xbox, we're finally seeing it come to full fruition now.

It was a selling point of the original 60gb ps3, before they removed the EE chip to lower cost of the machine. As for the One and PS4, I think people were just desperate for new machines at that point, the PS360 era was absurdly long.

Digital Foundry's first Series X/PS5 comparison video is out with Devil May Cry and they pretty much perform the same. Though it's interesting how one will be a few percent higher here and the other a few percent higher there. They speculate memory bandwidth differences.

Also worth noting the ray tracing mode has to be at 1080p with lower res reflections to maintain 60fps.
