No one is claiming that its price is not justified by the tech itself.

The issue ppl have is that they cant see the justification for the price in relation to non-tech factors, such as software support, the console in relation to other consoles on the market etc.

And those issues are perfectly justified. Its an expensive machine with few reasons to shell out for one. 

The box isnt aimed for the casual gamer. Its advertised as a Premium product which in that case there is a market out there that consider it a bargain. Like myself.

As a member of that premium market, I don't have a problem with the Xbox One X being $500. The console itself is worth that money. The issue is games. I have a Gaming PC and PS4 Pro. What reason do I have to pick up an X1X? There isn't anything I can't get on my PC and/or PS4. Hell I can play against XB1 players on my PC. Having all their titles on Windows 10 and Xbox is a double-edged sword. It's the reason I don't have an Xbox One. I usually buy all consoles. Exclusive content is the determining factor for me and for a consumer like me. The Xbox One doesn't provide any exclusive content. To be honest, if they aren't going to provide exclusives for their Xbox platform, I don't see a point to MS staying in the console business.
