Congratz on the purchase. In my case, I only have time for one console so I chose ps4 since it has more and better games IMO.

I know game quality is subjective, but at this point it's not even an opinion that PS4 has more and better games, it's just a fact. By literally every metric, the PS4 has better games, more games, and more exclusives. If we're looking at sales, PS4 exclusives sell a lot more than Xbox exclusives this gen. When it comes to multiplatform games, PS4 sells, on average, 2.2x the amount of copies as the Xbox One does (though oftentimes even more of a disparity). When it comes to volume of exclusives in terms of variety, it is, again, about a 2:1 or 3:1 ratio depending on if we're counting indies. 

and while, yes, the Xbox One X has a marginally better performance on multiplatform games compared to the PS4 Pro, by this point in gaming there's no significant difference. 

I'd only recommend an Xbox One X if you already have a gaming phone, a Nintendo Switch, and a PS4 already. And even then I think it'd be more valuable and cost effective to just get a PC since all Xbox One exclusives are also on PC now. 

I mean, I come across as a hater (which I used to be but outgrew the better part of a decade ago), but I have an Xbox One with more than a dozen games on it, but I never use the system. My roommate does - which makes me happy to see that the thing gets use, but when you have a PS4 and an Xbox One - both launch consoles - there's literally no reason to play the Xbox beyond the exclusives, which are few and far between. 

And my time with the Switch has reaffirmed that, as far as I'm concerned, graphical fidelity and performance specs mean next to nothing. My favorite games of the last few years have been simple but fun. Stuff like Mario Odyssey and Dark Souls Remastered and Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze and Octopath Traveler and Breath of the Wild, all games that could be played on the Wii (Except Dark Souls, doubt that could work on Wii.) And you know what's my most played game so far this year? The Mega Man X Legacy Collection. SNES games with a PS1 game on it. 

Bah, I'm rambling. 

No idea why you'd get an Xbox One X, though. To the OP, I mean. 

No, Xbox One X games are better. Sorry.
