Xbox One X släpps som bekant idag, och det har varit mestadels positiva omdömen hittills (vår artikel kommer idag). Den kritik som hörts har generellt handlat om antingen avsaknaden av exklusiva spel alternativt prislappen.
Spelvärldens mest kände analytiker, Michael Pachter, hör till de som kritiserat sistnämnda och han menar att nästa generation blir billigare om inte Xbox One X säljer tokbra:
"I don't think next gen consoles will be $500... though I guess the right answer is, let's see what happens with the Xbox One X."
If Xbox One X is a phenomenal success, if it sells out, if overall Xbox sales rise to above the current level of 10 million a year, because everyone wants that power, then sure, the next gen can be more expensive. But if the Xbox One X sells 1-2 million a year, out of the 10 million Xbox sold every year, and after a couple of years, they satisfy demand and no one wants it at $500, then no."
Pacther poängterar att dyra konsoler är relativt oprövat, men att de försök som gjorts slutat illa:
"Look, I don't have a lot of experience with $500 consoles, but what I have is bad. The PS3 launched at $600 and it flopped. The Xbox One launched at $500, and it didn't work, they had to drop the Kinect and bring it to under $400 before it sold. There's just some consumer obstinacy about spending more than $300-400 on a console.
