I'm tempted to take the plunge on an X, as I also have a 20% off Target coupon. I figure if I sell my XB1s for $150, buy an XBX for ~$340 after tax, it's a small enough net cost that my wife won't give me too much shit.

On the other hand, I already have a PS4 Pro, and we're so late in the generation that I doubt the X will be current for more than a couple years.  I don't know if I can justify it to myself.

I bought a X1X over the holiday because it was $399, I had a 15% off coupon on eBay and I was able to avoid sales tax buying from Newegg.

If you use Xbox a lot, I argue its worth having and it should be able to handle games well for years into the 9th gen. There are games in my library I only want to play on my X1X because the visual disparity or performance is so big. Even load times are less annoying.

I'm skipping the PS4 Pro because it power disparity wasn't huge and PS4 software is generally well optimized already.
