I think sales are front loaded. I can see many of those sales as an upgrade by existing XB1S customers who are getting gimpy third party games (720p and 900P are some examples). I can see my self upgrading if I was in there shoe and having enough money to pay 499$ for an upgraded console.

From what is being seen by DF and such though, that new machine isn't a 4k/60fps device either, there must be a point when people hold off a purchase beyond the promise of what it can do by the people aiming to sell it.

Buy a X1 for 1080p/60 get 720/900p/30fps

Buy an X1X for 4k... get a solid 1080p machine.

The thing is.... the machine is great for what it does, but it doesn't have the power to do what it was advertised as having, with "no compromises" it was just never built as such.

Was it advertised as a 4K/60 fps machine with no compromises? I can't remember that promise.

It was advertised as

• the most powerful console so far (what it is... most multi-platform games look and/or perform better than on PS4 Pro)
• the best suited console for 4K TVs (which is also correct, every resolution above 1920x1080 looks better in 4K, not only native 4K)
• with native 4K support for some games (neither all games nor the majority of XBO games were promised for native 4K)
