I feel so conflicted when it comes to making a recommendation on the Xbox One X. On the one hand, there’s literally nothing wrong with the console itself. As advertised, it’s the most powerful console on the market. It runs nice and cool, games look great, and it’s a damn nice looking box. On the other hand, there just aren’t enough showpiece games on it to make spending $500 a smart investment right now.
I fully expect that when I look back on this review a year from now, I’ll be singing a completely different tune on the game issue (or at least, I hope I will be).
If you don’t already have an Xbox One, and you own a 4K TV, then consider the newest model as a way of future-proofing your gaming. If you only have a 1080p TV, you will see some benefit from the One X, but probably not enough to justify the fact that it costs twice as much as the Xbox One S. If you already own an Xbox One, you should just stick with the one you have until we see what other games come and what they look like. It’s just not worth upgrading at this point.
