This isn't just talking about games either, this includes many of the accessories consumers already have. Some of these accessories are already the best in the biz (Xbox Elite Controller, accessibility controller) These will all work with the next gen system and vice versa.
Sony's new controllers don't work with PS4 games, which requires new PS5 adopters to buy an additional PS4 controller just so they can play the "Top 100 PS4" games that will be back compatible.
PS Plus and Now are lackluster, second rate options when compared to what Xbox is offering with Game pass.

I think you've got that reversed. PS4 controllers won't play PS5 games (but will play PS4 games running on a PS5), the PS5 controller will however play all games available on the PS5, including the backwards compatible titles from PS4.
You would need to buy an extra PS5 controller if you wanted to play local multiplayer of a PS5 game, you can't just use a spare PS4 controller you have.
