I think that would be something like that. while the momentum really went up for Microsoft, they are still not at Sony's level but they are getting there. 

The Series S is really paying off for Microsoft, being able to produce more boxes is key right now. They did not plan it obviously but this is really turning very well for them.

100%! But....I am a little concerned about the long term though. How will Series S hold up with time? I have a feeling Series S was the biggest reason why FSR 2.0 is going to be fully supported on Xbox. So the Series S doesn't drag the Series X down as the years go by. 

The Series S early adopters are entered/invested into the XBox ecosystem now.  When they want something more out of their Series system a few years down the line, they might just upgrade to a Series X which nets Microsoft an additional XBox Series sale.  The same way many PS4 owners doubled up with a PS4 Pro purchase just a few years later, and XBox One owners buying the One X.  Microsoft could not possibly be in a better situation than they are right now.  They are scooping up the non-graphics/framerate obsessed, they are scooping up the budget conscious, and they are scooping up the impatient who just don't want to wait for a PS5 or Series X to be available in their area.  Every single one from those group that they can double convert to a Series X down the line is gravy at that point.
