But anyway, even that would mean they have three consoles. You could not build three gaming PCs (+ input devices) for the same amount of money. Just go ahead, show me a 199€ gaming PC that will play basically every major AAA game for the next two years. Show me your links to it.
oh and I am not making things up. Read it here:

Yes. Each Xbox One model is an improvement over the other, and millions opted to upgeade to the S the second half of the year it came out. If Phil thought he was making a console that would sell to only 0.02 percent of the userbase, then it would have been a major fail. The S to OG xbox ratio is WAY larger than 0.02 percent, I don't know where that figure came from. And many of the Xbox hardcore will invest in an Xbox One X. They've been hyping it for over a year now, and you better believe they want a turnout for it amongst the fandom.
The point isn't to have three gaming PCs, the point is investing in ONE PC with parts that you can upgrade over time. You invest in a case, a PSU, RAM, mobo, CPU, card and you don't have to kick all these items to the curb when you upgrade. You can eventually pull and replace the ones you want at leisure.
The kind of person that wants to buy an Xbox One only when it's 199 Euros is not the type of gamer that's going to buy an Xbox One X. I'm talking about the gamers that are day one on everything, or at least the first year. There are still plenty of those.
Also, I don't know what you're trying to get out of that Steam survey. 125 million people use Steam, of course not everyone is going to have the same setup. I guess in the same way everyone who uses XBL is using different configurations... from PCs, to tablets, to 360s to both current Xbox One models. Many people play Steam games on their laptops. There's nothing there that suggests Xbox One X is better than 90% of every machine that uses Steam. It's kind of not relevant to the conversation anyway. Since the type of person who wants a One X is likely someone who's already in the ecosystem, buying what's been released by MS so far. That adds up, and isn't more sound than investing in PC parts over the same period since the result is less.
