Well the X1 was about $199 after about 3 years during the holiday.

I think X1X for $249-299 during the holiday with a redesign of 2020 is reasonable.

Eitherway, I think its important MS tries to blur generation and make X1 somehow part of their 9th gen userbase. Even if that means making all exclusives X1 compatible throughout the 9th gen.

The Xbox One is not an accurate representation of what the Xbox One X will become.
It's an Apples to Oranges comparison.

The Xbox One on release didn't even have impressive hardware, it was conservative, it was cheap.

The Xbox One X has an expensive and for a console, advanced cooler. That doesn't come cheap.
The Xbox One X has more Ram chips (A component that is increasing in price) than the Xbox One ever had.
The Xbox One X has a wider memory bus that requires more board traces and thus PCB layers.

It's not a simple case of building the SoC at a smaller fabrication process and selling the console at a cheaper price, there is so much more to the Xbox One X that will keep it's price higher than the Xbox One.

Besides... In 2020 the Xbox One S will still be on the market as a budget offering, with game bundles and larger hard drives poking fun at the higher price points.

In the exact post you're responding to I clarify this is apples and oranges. How? I'm suggesting a price higher than $199.

I'm thinking when 9th gen launches or shortly after, the X1 S should be discontinued and the X1X becomes the budget option. Because I don't see the X1 S getting much lower than $199.
