Should a $300 Lockhart be counted alongside Series X in marketshare tallies?

Yes because there's more to it than just slapping Ryzen. Series S will have Nvme SSD vs traditional hard drive. Series S will have next gen RDNA 2 technologies like Ray Tracing, Variable Rate Shading, Mesh Shaders, Sampler Feedback, Direct Storage and etc vs none of that. And the list goes on.

Resolution and Teraflops is just one aspect of the bigger pie. You build a game around those technologies and SSD and you run it on a Xbox One X with Ryzen and mechanical hard drive and see how much of a power point slideshow at 540p it will be compared to the Series S.

So a decade from now, if we get a Series Z, 36TF, and it's no longer Ryzen or RDNA anymore, and we've moved beyond RT, does it still count towards XB Series model sales? What if the Series Y that releases alongside it, has all the new tech and features as well, but is only 10TF and $199? More XB Series model sales?

It's not all that clear cut. That's not to say it can't be counted towards Series sales, but it's all of the reasoning as to why it should or shouldn't.

I am not quite sure what you mean by this. Is it to do with the whole "No More Generations" nonsense that xbox PR keeps on saying? Cause I doubt that's going to be the case as Phil himself said couple years and "We won’t force you to upgrade to Xbox Series X at launch to play Xbox exclusives."
