It seems to be working exactly as MS said it would - lower resolution and other scalable graphics settings, but an overall similar gameplay feel to Series X. I own both and X and an S, and I can definitely see a difference between them. But, had I realized how good the S would be, I wouldn't have paid a scalper for the X.
To put it another way, if someone wants an easier to find and more affordable next gen console than the X or PS5, the Series S is perfectly capable. You may not want it as your primary machine 5 years from now. But, its totally fine for now.
If you're wondering why someone has two current gen consoles when its hard to even get one.....I got the S at retail by grabbing a pre-order, and figured it was a backup plan. I didn't open it at launch, because I was playing some older games at the time. When the X came down in price to a less crazy level (I paid $710 with an extra controller), I bought one and thought about selling or returning the Series S. But, I realized that I could get almost $200 for my XBone S during Xmas season, so I sold that instead and kept my Series S for my secondary TV.
