I'm guessing most people who can't justify spending $500 on a xbox-x only upgrade their phones every 4 to 6 yrs?
If a person has a PC that can do most of what a xbox-x can do, then no it's not geared towards you. Most people do not have a PC that can do what a xbox-x can do. $499 is cheap for what it does. There's always gonna be a cheaper option for everything from food to cars to entertainment. The market is there. This generation is a anomaly in consoles. PS4 is selling a insane amount compared to any other generation. xbox one is doing fine as well. just not astronomical numbers like the ps4. That does not mean it's a failure. It's stupid to even think that. I like the majority of consumers buy a new phone every 2 years with a average cost of around $700. $500 for a console every 4 to 6 yrs is a very easy decision for me. I honestly don't see the issue unless it's just another reason to try and hate on MS.

$700 phones every two years is just flatout wasteful. I'm pretty sure the average consumer doesn't spend that much

Don't bother... it's obvious that the market for phones and consoles is about the same and the only reason phones sell more is because everyone is changing their phones every 6 months.
