Specs is a bit odd. Xbox Series S has 4 teraflops compared to Xbox Series X 12.15 teraflops, and Xbox One X 6 teraflops. Granted CPU and memory are different from Series X line vs One X line.
Launch 1X has 1.4 teraflops, and wondering if MS can uphold the promise of Xbox Series games running smoothly for new releases for 2 years.
Xbox Series S looks good at $299, but the value proposition is not there if you're invested long term seeing both Series X and S comes in 1TB storage and has proprietry SDD expansion port. Then again, some people have price sensibilities due to current global situtation.
Compared to PS5, Sony looks like they're competing Xbox Series X with both models being the same with/without disc drive.

Xbox Series X $499 12.5 teraflops
Xbox Series S $299 4 teraflops
Xbox One X ~$400 (with bundled games) 6 teraflops
