There's not much to speculate if this new Lockhart news is real. It would be like MS releasing the 1X version 4 years to early and the 4Tflops Series S will be their actual next gen console. Maybe 12Flops is a bit crazy, but I would be seriously disappointed if they would officially announce the ps5 and it will be 4Tflops. I would much rather have seen 2 "normal" next gen consoles at 9TFlops and the 4k pro versions a couple years later.  

Lol is this post ironic or did you just give me a sample of said narrative? Ideally the Series X is the base and everything scales down. It’s quite simple, why would they go through all this trouble of advertising the thing if it won’t have its potential tapped?  But I’m sure you got your pre selected responses ready for that question. 

I haven't seen any advertising from MS, so who knows which console they'll put more focus on. All I know is that if the Series X would be the base platform, all of MS's exclusives would push it to the max at 30fps/1440p. On Series S, those games would run at like 540p.

In the end MS will just look at which console sells the most and run with that as the base platform. If that turns out to be Series S they will likely aim for parity and we get the exact same games running at 1080p on Series S vs native 4k on Series X. Imo that would be a serious waste of resources and ps5 games that do target 1440p will no doubt look a lot better, defeating the whole purpose of Series X being the most expensive and most powerful console.
