GameStop Almost Sells Through Its Xbox One X Supply In First 24 Hours

@Thanatos2k: By the way on a side note, the critics here can’t claim that the X1X is “too expensive” out of one side of their mouths while simultaneously suggesting that everyone just “buy a PC” out of the other side.

To more directly respond to your earlier point though, I have a gaming PC as well (a high-end Falcon Northwest Mach V), but I spend most of my time on the Xbox One (and now the Xbox One X). My Falcon gets used primarily for games that just don’t work well logistically on a console, such as flight sims and real-time strategy games. Everything else, though, is infinitely better on console, especially now with the advent of the One X. The reason is simple: My PC lives on a desk attached to a relatively small monitor, while my One X is driving my brand-new 4K HDR 65” Sony X930E and pumping sound through my extremely capable surround sound system. And, I get to play in a comfy recliner instead of an office chair.

I know, the inevitable response will be, “You can connect your PC to your TV and surround system and use an Xbox controller with it”, but let’s get real: How many people do you really believe will do that when to do so would mean seriously compromising the PC’s non-gaming uses (are you really going to put a keyboard and mouse in your lap?), or alternatively would constantly move their PC between the living room and the desk? My estimation is that the number of people who actually do either is pretty close to zero.

So if you want to game with admittedly even better visuals (though very marginally compared to X1X), spend much more for the privilege, and do so on a small monitor sitting in an office chair, then go right ahead. But for 99% of real folks out there the far better option is a console, and for me at least the X1X is a no-brainer as the best console choice (though that question admittedly depends upon what each individual values most - in my case Xbox has the games I want to play, and X1X takes them to a whole other level).

@Thanatos2k: Look, theyre microsoft exclusives. You wont see PUBG on other consoles til end of next year. You wont see Cuphead, Gears of War 4, Halo, Forza 7, and all those games as microsoft exclusives still bring the money back into the Xbox division. No matter how much you want to smack talk a great console that KILLS other console tech in the market, you cant play the mentioned games without paying Microsoft on ether PC or Xbox.

Also, third party games matter more. For people who cant afford big gaming rigs, on console, Xbox One X will be the best choice until the next xbox releases.

@lostn: this is pure false about the 1440p. Kill yo self. https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2017/11/2/16597100/xbox-one-x-1440p-support-confirmed
