Well the Xcloud will certainly come in hand. Simple stream even PS4 to PSVita or smartphone was already working quite well, so yep streaming from Series X to S in the same network should be a breeze.

That's a different kind of streaming.  I streamed a game from Microsoft's servers, which run Series X-based hardware, and streamed it to my Series S.  Been doing it daily for certain titles since they opened up xCloud streaming to consoles yesterday.  Right now it's limited to 1080p/60, and latency is a question-mark.  All the same things you always say about streaming tech.  But as the tech matures, perhaps a day will come where you can get a lower-latency experience running it on your Series S vs. a higher-fidelity experience streaming it to your Series S.  If that comes to be, it could be an interesting choice for people down the road!  Could be particularly useful for some types of games where latency isn't much of an issue (turn-based games, slower-paced games, etc.).

I played Conan: Exiles over xCloud today and I found the experience was just fine, but I have pretty good internet.

Gotcha. The way you wrote the previous post I understood as the local streaming. But yes I have heard good things about the XCloud, I'm thinking about testing it here in Brazil, but my internet at the moment is quite unreliable.
