MODERATORS
Xbox has a packaged release system designed for that. Since the Series S isn't really meant to go over 1080p, developers are encouraged to only include smaller versions of textures since anything too detailed would be wasted.
PS5, by contrast, tends to have simplified video settings panels so gamers can prioritize what they want - be that raytracing, 4K, or 60fps. Often, just having the extra power doesn't necessarily matter if the game is coded against taking advantage of it. (I think Bloodborne is infamous for this - it hasn't gotten an update, so even on PS5, everyone must play it locked at 30fps).
Series X was promoted as the 4k system and Series S as the 1440p system.
Similar to how the PS5 had “8K” on the box; it’s only technically capable of that for the sake of videos, but most games tend to go a bit smaller resolution for practical rendering.
No, early S/X marketing said that the games would be identical on both, just that X games would be 4k and S games 1440p.
The specifications of the HDMI ports are the same. A Series S has no problems putting out super high definition 2D games.
I mean...I think yes, at some point a marketing department made that claim, which is unfortunate because that's ultimately far from reality and most people know it. The claims made of the Series X and PS5 are also usually exaggerated, because most salespeople can get away with prefixing any claim with the words "up to".
