I decided in early 2020 to just upgrade my very old worn out Xbox One for the One X when it was cheap right before it was officially discontinued. Learned from the last time around that it was a waste of money to early adopt. Well, that worked out well. Even if I hadn't switched to PC I'm not sure I'd have enough reason to make me buy a Series X this year. I still don't know anyone with a next gen console at all. Where are all these things?
Yeah, there are few games that are not backwards compatible with the XBox One. Until most/all games are Series S/X only, they're running last gen stuff, just with a faster console.
Depends if you count PC or not. Microsoft has said no console exclusives and theirs will be on PC as well. I think Sony has released PC versions of their 2 or 3 PS5 only games recently.
If you don't count PCs, there's a small handful but it's mostly woke shovelware. Forspoken, Plague Tale: Requiem, Dead Space remake, etc. I played Plague Tale, I think it's the only new game I played last year. Not bad. Not touching the others. All the other small dev stuff AA and below I've liked just don't need the hardware. If I can run these games in 1440p or 4K at 60fps on my not amazing PC with high settings, they can easily turn it down and have a totally acceptable game on last gen. Why wouldn't they do that then?

GTA 6 and Skyrim 6 will still be in development
Have there been ANY exclusive series X or PS5 games yet?
The problem is clearly the lack of game development?

If there was no Xbox the world would be a better place.
