Congrats to MSoft for the successful launch of the X.

Having said that, the fact that a $500 console sells well makes me worry a little bit. We shouldn't give companies that $500 consoles are ok, or we might get PS5/X2 in that price range.

There's this thing called inflation man. A 400$ console in 2006 is the same as a 500$ console in 2017. Just like when people complain about  micro transactions and paid dlc in games. A new game has been 60$ for how long? 20 years? 30?. It should be 85 or 90. 

Mmmmm... yes and no.  Both the original Xbox One and the Xbox One X were priced at $500 at launch.  It's a no brainer to buy an X over the original.  And because a new game has been $60 for so long now actually works against your point.
