32X over the Saturn is irrelevant because the 32X wasn't meant to be a new generation, it was meant to just extend the life of the Genesis and offer people an ability to play more demanding games. It was more like the "Genesis Pro" except instead of a whole new console, Sega just released an add-on. Hell IIRC some of its games even required the SegaCD add-on as well to work. Not comparable to a new next gen console that can play all of the games a PS5 or XSX can play, just at 1080-1440p resolution. It has a fast SSD, it has the next gen CPU.

Yeah, but also the 32X was intended to have a longer lifespan but then happened that no one cares, and almost any third-party developer ignored it. Are we sure XS will receive third-party support in the long term or just some lazy ports from Xbox X (like the current Switch)?

"The primary difference between Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S is in resolution. Through talking to our customers, we found that many of our fans prioritize framerate over resolution, so we wanted to build a console that didn’t require a 4K TV. Xbox Series S delivers approximately 3x the GPU performance of Xbox One and was designed to play games at 1440p at 60 frames per second, with support for up to 120fps. With the increased efficiency we get from the next generation AMD RDNA 2 graphics architecture combined with the virtual memory multipliers enabled through the Xbox Velocity Architecture, Xbox Series S will deliver performance and experiences well beyond the raw specs. In addition, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S share the same development environment, tools and capabilities, all of which enable developers to build and release their content across consoles more easily while still taking advantage of the unique hardware capabilities of the next generation."
