The Xbox One X is a great value and expensive simultaneously

Well the problem is we don't know whether the device is going to last longer than 3 years. Before the X2 is announced if it even gets announced or MS us going to turn Xbox into a W10 gaming pc brand. If it gets support for another 4 years and exclusive which use the potential of the console it's value iems fine. If it doesn't and only gets a few cross games at the launch of the PS5/X2 in 2020 it's value perspective gets darker.

I agree with all of this.  I'd add that we don't know to what extent devs will make use of the extra power.  This mid generation upgrade stuff is new.  The same applies to PS4 Pro, as well.  We don't have enough data to determine the value in the long term.

The only games I know that really take advantage of the PS4 pro are actually exclusive games like Horizon, Wipeout and R&C and some EA games. Which means that games that will really utilise the PS4 pro's potential will probably be exclusive games. I doubt that's going to be different with the XBOX. So I guess both consoles will get patches from third party devs. But it's up to Sony and MS to make the XBOX and Pro live up to there potential.
