What does similar performance to current gen even mean? Compared to what?

Just because a next gen game runs at 1080p doesn't meant it can't look better than a last gen game with a 4k resolution.

Why would anyone buy a PS4 after the PS4 Pro launched? Pretty much the same point, except the PS4 is performing worse than PS4 Pro and Lockhart would be performing better than PS4 Pro. (performing ≠ sales in this context)

Your logic is inaccurate. ... what's the motive to upgrade to xss if it plays at similar performance level or less to current gen?

Again you didn't really specify what you mean with that.

Quite a few Xbox One X games run at 4k 30 FPS. Why get any next gen console, when most next gen games won't be able to beat that performance? 4k 60 FPS won't be the standard next gen. Is that the answer to your performance question?

Or do you actually expect the Series S / Lockhart to be on the same level as the Xbox One X?
CPU was the big bottleneck last gen. Lockhart will easily surpass Xbox One X in that regard. Same for loading times. So yeah, on the technical level, Lockhart is definitely better than Xbox One X. But if that isn't enough... maybe the fact that not every current gen console owner has a PS4 Pro or Xbox One X, so the jump will be much bigger for most gamers. Also the most obvious reason: being able to play next gen exclusives after the initial cross-gen period.
