The S is MUCH weaker than the X. 52 CU's vs 20 CU's. Heck a PS 4 Pro has 18 CU's. A Series S is a very small upgrade over a PS 4 Pro.
Last year I played on PS5, Series S, and PS4. The PS5 version definitely looked and played better than Series S, but the S was at least an upgrade over the base PS4.
I was impressed with the Series S when it came to most other games though. The Gears of War games and pretty much everything else I played on it looked great. I kind of assumed that 21 was poorly optimized for the Series S since it was the first year on that platform.
Yeah, I meant to add it definitely is the better value, since it is as cheap if not cheaper than most PS4's. Plus it is considered "next gen" and has higher and faster Memory bandwidth. Also the internal storage is much faster with the SSD. And if playing at 1440p or below at 60 fps is all someone needs then I would go with the S. But if you game at 4K the X is worth the extra money. Way more powerful, and does not give game makers a headache like the S. I could see support for the S falling off sooner rather than later.
