well, the x1 seems necessary as the OP even noted there are games that will only be available on the x1. If those games interest you, buying the x1 is the only way to play them.
People should buy the systems that interest them. Honestly, most people don't even care that much about the first party exclusives, as they primarily play the third party games like Call of Duty, Assassins Creed, or Madden. These exclusive game arguments only really matter on internet forums were people seem to have some kind of vested interest in the success or failures of a console.
