Soooo did the Xbox One X succeed?

I purchased an X1X because most of the games I play are 3rd party, and the X1X will typically have the best versions of those games.

However, I think it’s fair to say the differences between the X1X and PS4 Pro aren’t as big as they should be. The X1X is not being pushed and utilized correctly. Just dumping in more pixels is not enough. The overall experience and presentation should be superior across the board. 

Using PS4 Pro as feeder for X1X is okay for now, but by the end of 2018 I’m expecting to see titles that put a significant gap between PS4 Pro and X1X.

 

Devs can't fully use the hardware of the X1X, because the base X1 will always hold it back. All they can really do is throw more pixels at it. Which is why it won't ever have the chance to truly get a visible advantage over the PS4 Pro. Sony has the advantage of the more powerful base. 

In the short term, yes. In the medium term Microsoft has stated their goal is to eliminate traditional consoles generations and have a PC like cycle. It's entirely possible Xbox One could be around for another 12 years, with newer and more powerful GPU's and x86 CPU's every 4 years. At some point, we are going to get a "minimum specs" on boxes, and the OG will be retired and the X1X will be the baseline.
