This is pretty misleading as there's a pretty dramatic difference in power between the S and X. A more apt comparison would be

Series S = Xbox One X with some 4K
Series X = PS5

The difference might not be too apparent early in the gen here as games are mostly cross-gen anyways, but as time goes on we'll start to see some serious technical concessions in the Series S versions of games.
