don't understand why anyone cares. Where is the killer app that we need this console to play? It's all foolishness.
Hey. While I'm here, could someone please tell me what kind of bullshot poll this is suppose to be?

This is pretty much Me. I enjoy the exclusives on the PS system but I also enjoy the exclusives on MS system. I enjoy the Online and controller on the MS system more which is a huge thing for me. The majority of my favorite games are 3rd party so I want the system that will play them the best with the controller I like the most. I want that Blu-ray 4k drive. Hell, BC has made me start to play a lot of my old games again so enjoy that feature as well. With all that said, I missed out on the pre-order on Amazon but may look to other places to secure my system. I saved up my money when it was announced last year just like I did with the Pro, so was prepared to pull the trigger.
Oh forgot another feature, I can give my X1 to my younger son so he can play Minecraft with his friends with the basement TV so I do not have to hear those annoying pre-teen voices and watch what I consider the most boring ugliest game ever created. That right there is well worth the price of admission.

Some people are buying the console to play the "Superior Version" of 3rd Party Games, which is totally valid IMO.
Thing is: Will it really run better? Are developers going to take advantage of the extra juice?
There are a few examples of games running on the PS4 PRO worse than on the OG PS4, who says that this wouldnt be happening on the One X?
At the end of the day, consoles are a locked enviroment which depends entirely on the developer. If the developer fucks up, the One X could easily be receiving the worst version of the game, or the best...
I know the hype is real and all that, but my advice would be to wait for Digital Foundry to make real life test and see for yourself if the console is worth the 500 bucks.
The best example of a midgen upgrade is already here, and weve seen how it is doing.
I just bought another 360 after my other one broke down. I don't have any intention of getting an xbox, no jrpgs = no buy. It's the only reason I bought a 360.

Well considering the X has over 100+ games benefitting from the new hardware plus Rise of the Tomb Raider being 1 prime example having options to play the game in True 4k or at 60 frames is enough proof the support and seriousness of this machine is real. I highly daubt the X will fall short like the Pro did with the PS4. The Pro wasnt powerful enough to render the resolution or effects without dropping below the PS4 frame rate. The X has a much larger gap between the S and the X while the gap between the PS4 and Pro was alot shorter.

It is always up to the Devs and from what we have seen and heard coming, its safe to say its worth the purchase if your into game fidelity and pixels as a console gamer.

If you really must know, I thought it was a good idea at the time. I bought the One in 2015: at the time I was planning to buy both One and WiiU to have all three new gen consoles (this before the NX got announced). I was particularly impressed by their E3 2015 showing: backwards compatibility was obviously a huge draw, Sea of Thieves looked very neat and Scalebound... Now, you might think: that's it, I play a few games, don't like them much, worst console ever. The following years what I saw were a series of games which: Add to this the reveal of the S and X at their (genuinely terrible) E3 2016 presentation and their general behaviour. Now Microsoft wants me to pay €500 so they can pretend they have done something worthwhile in the entirety of 2017. |
Fair enough. If I were you, I'd trade it in before it loses too much value. There should be some good store credit deals coming soon. Sorry it wasn't for you.

I think they're still available on the Walmart and Target sites.

"Over 100+ Games" dont tell me about how the console will perfom with said games. Ill be waiting for Digital Foundry Real Life Tests.
There are also games on the PS4 PRO that let you decide wether you want resolution over frames, or viceversa. But the amount of games that let you do this is so tiny, that i dont see it as a valid reason (IMO) to spend 500 bucks on an upgrade of a console that you already own.
The PS4 PRO is aiming for the same result, albeit being less powerful than the One X. At the end of the day, i dare to say that 99.999% of people looking at native 4K vs Checkeboarded 4K will not notice the difference. And even then, i say that the PS4 PRO is not worth the money if you already have an OG PS4.
Like i said, the results are on the table. We have seen how is the support of the PS4 PRO (or lack thereof). I have no reason to think that the Xbox One X will be better supported than the PRO, not one reason.
Developers will go the extra mile for $$$, not bragging rights. If financially dont make sense to them, you can bet your house they wont be tweeking anything.
P.D. Bolded Part made me LOL Thats something Aaron Greenberg would say
