Read a bunch of stuff on how the series s is holding this gen back. So the ps5 is much closer in power to the series x , and the series s is way below the ps5?

Series S is designed to be a 1080p version of the Series X. Biggest issue seems to be GPU bandwidth. Which leads to specific issues such as split screen being an issue for BG3.

Although tbh the people complaining are exaggerating how much it's a problem for most games. Alan Wake 2 is perhaps the most demanding game of this generation so far and it runs completely fine on it.

So are the specs very similar to the x box one x? ps4 pro? not sure

I guess 720p/30fps with minor drops is fine

It has a much better CPU than those along with an SSD. The GPU can also handle current gen tech that the last gen systems like the PS4 and Xbox One X cannot.

It's overall just different. Xbox One X is designed to play last gen games at 4k and Series S is designed to play current gen games at 1080p. If a game is designed for both it's around One X level but it can handle games that the One X cannot run at all like Alan Wake 2.

Series S is something around half as powerful as the Series X overall iirc.
