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.

This is the way I look at it.... graphics jump to next Gen won't be that much. It will be more about SSD. The difference between last gen xbox and Lockhart would be minimum.

So? Why would someone who owns the most powerful current gen console wanna buy the least powerful next gen console (Nintendo excluded)?

Also Xbox One X was designed for high resolution while Lockhart is primarily a 1080p machine, meaning there's a ton of unused power that can be used for other things.
