It's a success to its enthusiast target audience. Sales wise again short term will sell fine. Long term not so much IMO and not saying it will fail long run but I believe who this thing sells to will shrink a bit over the next year. Even if it stays relatively steady. It still has the hurdle of exclusives and esp games that show off the X. So far not much. Racing games are always the easiest to show off new hardware but it's not enough. MS is bundling PUBG with X and that's not great for showing off this hardware esp when the performance is so bad. With FPS averaging around 18 with drops to 4FPS and bad texture load in where at times the low poly mode (which looks like a melted N64 game) can still be present when you land in the game world for a good chunk of time. Crackdown was supposed to be the game that showed the X off but people complained f PS3 era graphics and the game got delayed into 2018 leaving X with less to show off.
What hurts more, in the long run, is the X1 that is selling gangbusters is the X1 in a Nintendo tablet. Xbox One X is doing ok now to a dedicated crowd but overall it's not changing the mind of the average consumer who is trying to decide between a PS4 or Switch, esp this holiday.
