Because most games that come out and the highest scoring games are usually multiplatform which plays best on xbox. Also, Nintendo and Sony exclusives suck when it comes to multiplayer imo.

Apologize to Mario Kart. APOLOGIZE!!!

As soon as Nintendo gives me a better online network to play the game on. Nintendo network isn't even as good as og xbox live.

I can say from my own experience, I have regulated my PS4 Pro to exclusive duty which so far still is great from Sony end and the X1X for everything else. I am not sure if you really need an X but if you have the cash then go for it. There was an article that says you can get an X for 200 bones but I would have to look it up to see if it's legit. Might be one of those special case scenarios you have to give up your first born son or something like that.

I've seen it before but you have to trade in an Xbox one s to get one for 200 dollars. Which definitely helps if you got one. 

Lok toWhere is this?  I've been on the fence about getting an X, as it's late in the general and I already have a Pro.  But, if I can trade my S and get one for $200, that may be my Xmas present to myself.

I just upgraded from an Xbox One S, about a month ago.

On my 4k OLED games like Forza Horizon 4 look simply astounding.

Whether its worth it to you to pay the money is a personal decision. But I certainly wouldn't be spending the money on a PC that could reproduce this anytime soon, so for me, it was worth it.

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.

I don't think I've ever heard a more wrong statement than that. Nintendo exclusives are some of the best multiplayer games in the history of gaming. Seriously. You could argue that Sony's exclusives lack multiplayer and focus on singleplayer, and that's fine, but Nintendo? 

What are you smoking? 

And what Xbox Exclusives are there that have multiplayer outside of the trinity of Halo/Gears/Forza? Just a bunch of shooters and racers, genres you can get anywhere. Halo and Gears aren't even that good anymore, I'd rather play TitanFall 2 or even Call of Duty now. Which is a shame because I used to love gears.

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.

No, Xbox One X games are better. Sorry.

My cousin just got one, so I figure I'll just enjoy his until the neXt Box is released, unless there's like some can't miss deal on this or next year's Black Friday/Cyber Monday.

I did just get a new 4k TV so it is tough to resist getting the full experience out of it and my Xbone games, but I'll live. Hell, I've only just recently gotten into 1080p gaming after stuck in 720p land for the better part of a decade, so that's enough to carry me for awhile I'd say.

I'd also like to go full on with a high-end gaming PC within the next few years (assuming I finally get myself a salaried job), as mine is starting to show its age.

I've read all the comments so thanks for the congrats. To the naysayers, I hear you. I know it's somewhat of a precarious decision considering how late it is but I know how to move. I'll know when it's time to sell and right now there's still a market for the X.
I started feeling left out of this gen and it was getting to me. I feel like I'm in the loop again and I'm happy with the buy.
Plus, as much as I enjoyed VR on the Pro, it just wasn't for me. Motion sickness is a thing. That played a major part in me selling the PS.
I'm probably getting a new gamertag. I'll see you guys online. Any DoA players here?

If you want the best 3rd party console experience and with Red Dead Redemption 2 around the corner. An easy yay.
