I think the biggest worry would usually be the lower end model holding back the higher end model but with a pretty clear cut point this gen between 1080p and 4k that shouldn't be as hard to manage. And really especially for younger kids that maybe want the new Xbox the Series S could fill that need because the likelihood of that kid having a 4K TV where they are gaming is lower as well.
Plus Microsoft already has to build their games to support different types of hardware on PC so not like it's not already happening on their end.
To me the biggest news of the day is actually that EA Play (formerly Access) is now going to be included as part of XBox Gamepass.
Microsoft is making the value of Gamepass undeniable at this point and even though after the last gen I wasn't planning on getting a new Microsoft console the value of gamepass is making it hard to ignore at this point. They may not have the best exclusives, or as attractive exclusives as the Playstation brand, but with Gamepass I don't think there is ever a shortage of anything to play.

Damn, I was just about to subscribe to EA Play now that it supports Steam, but I guess I won't have to. Microsoft is absolutely killing it in the bang-per-buck department
