DF Justifying the X1X Price Point

The work more complaint is valid, but you know that there were greedy complaints as well.

And just may have read wrong, but how does X1S have on its worst case scenario a bandwidth that is equal to PS4Pro, have the X1S changed all its memory structure or you were talking about X1X?

The Crossbar could limit things. It might not either. Which is why we need more information.

GDDR6 will certainly have the price advantage.
Micron elaborated on it's plans for that technology too.

Then, GDDR6 it is.  And they are aiming for twice the speed of GDDR5, so that should get the job done.

That is the first iteration of GDDR6 as well. Don't be surprised if you see larger speeds and densities once they start making GDDR6 chips at say... 7nm.
GDDR5 saw massive improvements over it's life.

Though MS could have pushed it an extra mile and skipped Polaris entirely and gone for a cheaper, more efficient machine.

We don't know if the Xbox One X is using Polaris. It could be an older design that takes on some "Polaris Enhancements".

Just like how the Playstation 4 Pro isn't using Vega, but takes on some "Vega Enhancements" such as packed math.
