So does anyone actually see a review here that says it is a MUST have product, so that it flies off the shelves?
The hard-core gamers and early adopters will always love something new, shiny, faster and with beefed up graphics. They will always lead the way, but history suggests that they cause an initial sales spike. The real money is when casual gamers sees value in getting an X1X. If we can't convince the casual gamers the X1X is a must have upgrade, then it being faster, more powerful etc etc, is a great bullet point, but nothing more in the long run.

From reading all the reviews the overall theme seems to be, get the X1X if you:
1. Have 4K TV (still early days, at least in the UK)
2. Want to play your old Xbox games at a higher frame-rate and resolution.
3. You want to play multi-platform games on a more powerful system.
4. Is within your budget this Xmas season.
