Microsoft is doing a much better job than Sony did of getting developers on board with Xbox One X specific upgrades. Sadly I don't think that'll be enough to make the thing sell well. Nobody is going to buy a $500 console with $250 options out there. It's just not going to happen.
Gamers are cheap and usually choose the cheapest path. Most don't give a shit about resolution, framerate or graphics when it comes down to actually buying the machines. They buy what's affordable and has the games they want to play. Nothing more.
Don't fall into the trap of thinking the internet community is an accurate representation of the market for consoles and console games. It's not. The fact that CoD, Madden, and FIFA basically outsell every other game that comes out each year is proof enough that internet loudmouths don't mean shit.
If "Nobody is going to buy a $500 console" is true then X1X should have zero sales and "sold out" shouldn't have occurred.
