Is the Pro worth more than the base? Is the IPhone X worth more than the 8? Is a bmw 123i worth more than the 118i? And so on...

They all do the same thing just one slightly better. If you can justify it then yes, it’s worth paying more. If not, no. That’s why we have options. Neither right nor wrong, purely preference and what’s ‘costly’ to one is negligible to another.

As someone who has an X I can safely say no as awesome a powerhouse as the X there isn’t enough software to justify it.

Without a doubt! The X dramatically demolishes the S in ALL ways. It's a powerhouse with so many games taking advantage of the extra power.

Power means nothing without games, I'm a hardcore gamer and collector. The PS4 is for the hardcore with its outstanding games, followed by switch with its in house exclusives. Don't try and justify the Xbox x being hardcore with its premium price and zero games.

Xbox one x is worth the upgrade unlike ps4 pro 1080p on most games so whoever says otherwise x1x always beats ps4 pro by a margin

As someone who has the original Xbox and the 360, but never owned any XBO, the XBO X looks interesting, although still a bit too expensive currently, when you factor in the extra cost of a bigger HDD you'll need.

Waiting for a white XBO X with 2 TB hdd and maybe 1-2 games bundled in, before I buy the X. But it's certainly on my wishlist.

For now, PS4 and Switch will keep me more than entertained.

Loving my X so far. Play a lot of pubg and various other MP games. Well worth the $

Nope & its the same with the Pro

People saying no that hasn't spent more than 5 minutes with the console... if at all.

VERY pleased with my purchase, being an upgrade from Vanilla Xbox One to the X.

Xbox 360 was superb, Xbox One is a let down.

Yes it's worth the upgrade, it runs games better and when hooked up to a 4k HDR tv it's amazing. I have plenty of XBOX ONE Ehanced games with more on the way.

If XBox is your thing absolutely

More than worth. I had xbox one s and bought Xbox one X. And boy oh boy the difference is HUGE

Having an xbox isnt worth it.

Silly fanboys, there are a ton of X enhanced games, well over 100, MOST 3rd party games run Smoother and at a higher REZ than PSPRO. I skipped the S, and waited for the X, and its worth it. Also it has a 4k B Ray player..

Just like pro you really need a 4k tv. Its great bit of kit its a pity they both agreed not to upset the user base.
Would love to see a exclusive for the X.

Simple answer for me is yes, since the majority of my gaming is on the Xbox platform, whether that be games, apps, online, and I prefer the OS and setup to PSN. Enhancement to my current X1 games, previous 360 and Xbox original games, I buy all 3rd party games on the X, so the no games argument doesn't apply to me, as it gets used much more than my other consoles, and I simply have too many games to play. As far as I am concerned all 3rd party games are exclusive. I have a PS4 Pro for my few Sony games I like so my gaming is covered this gen. I am fine with the X.

To xbox fans... sure. To everyone else? Not in the slightest. Yeah the xb1x probably generated more buzz than the pro initially but theres 3 glaring problems.

1. Sales- The base ps4 and pro sold over 20 million consoles last year alone. Sony states out of every 5 ps4's sold 1 is a ps4pro. I dont know how to do that math but thats still a shit load vanilla ps4's being sold. What are the sales of the xb1? The ps4 has been selling 2:1 and sometimes 3:1 vs the xb1, if the ps4 is nearing 80 million its a mathematical immposibility for the xb1 to be north of 40 mil when ive heard some xbox podcasts saying at least 40... Why are ms being so secretive?

2. Games- Yeah we get that neither console will probably get exclusives (ps4pro/xb1x), but for the year and year after each console released one had plenty of 1st and 3rd party games to play with no signs of slowing down on their shiny new mid gen upgrade, while the other had arguably the worst year in its consoles history (2017) with a fewer 1st partys than the year prior. Now we are in 2018. I dont need to make a list of games comming out for each console to tell you which 1 has more games or which has more buzz generated behind it because we all know which console that is (unless youre an xbox person).

3. Price- ps4 slim (199-249) ps4 pro (349-399) vs
Xb1 slim (290-249) xb1x (499). Since as long as i can remember the cheapest console with the most compelling software usually wins that gen. For instance, last gen the 360 was cheaper (sometimes by more than 200$ cheaper) than the ps3 and had about the same if not more amount of games for most of the gen. The 360 stomped the ps3 until it dropped in price and started really cranking out software that rivaled ms in the last 3 or so years. Is this a lesson microsoft had to learn now that the tables are turned and sony now has a console 200$ cheaper than the x and has more games...

Why do the sales matter you ask?

Sales matter to investors, game makers, and both sony and ms. The console with most sales might get exclusive content, preferred dev console, or exclusive games period. When a console has more sales in hardware that usually means more sales in software which means more $$$ for dev.

Why games and price matter are pretty explanatory...

PS4 fanboys just can’t stand that it’s better hardware. I tried to post an article that compared all the stats of the two and it got killed off as “lame” by ultra nova. But this article makes it? This site is utter BS and very much biased. That is lame.

If you have a 4k hdr tv yes. Everything looks sharper, cleaner and pristine. Even over the PS4 pro. Frame rates are way more consistent and smooth even on nonpatched games. I bought two because I have 2 4k tvs in two rooms and I hated jumping back down to the S when the tv the X was on was being used.

The X also became my primary multiplatform machine. That title formerly belonged to the PS4 pro but the x just runs better. My pro only plays PS4 exclusives now.

Sure it costs more but it’s better. You wouldn’t buy a bluray player to watch dvds on so if you have a 4k, this is a console that takes advantage of your tvs capabilities... and isn’t that why you buy a 4k tv?? And unless you have played all 3 systems firsthand on a 4k hdr tv I don’t care about your opinion because it’s not the same as watching compressed comparison videos at half res on the web to spot differences. Most of th people that talk shit about the x have never even touched one.

abso-freakin-lutely

Yes it is. Its worth each and every penny.

n

Unless you're a tech enthusiast then no, not at all

yup

If you have a 4k TV or a 1440p PC monitor, then yes it's worth it. If not, then I would hold off until you get one, otherwise you won't see the full benefit of having the Xbox One X.

I keep reading Xbox has no games but I have 46 games for it n 56 games for the ps4

All this stuff? Well lets just talk about games.... Best performence is pc.... Lol and then you have ps4 pro for exclusives and xbox x for multi plats..... That is what you have to choose.....

Heck ya. 4k hdr is one of the most beautiful sight ever. Garden if Eden type of sight lol. Y'all don't know what you're missing. Next gen when you ppl transition.... you'll understand. It's a no brainier for 4k hdr tv owners.

(click) Yes. . .also, got apples?

that's like asking if pro is worth the upgrade and people saying yes cause it have more games lol, it have the same amount of games as the regular ps4 this question should be answer by people who did the upgrade cause only them can say if it was worth it or not but this site don't change we got people who hate Microsoft who jump in to articles to bash anything from Microsoft I'm loving both upgrades ps pro and the X and I have no complains if is not for u don't even bather clicking

There are a lot of comments here saying no it isn't because of the lack of games which is debatable but outside of what the article is about. The article is actually about whether it is worth the upgrade from the S or if you want an Xbox is the X worth the extra money. Any comments should be about what the X offers over the S and whether it is worth the price, any other discussion is irrelevant and makes me suspect it is just pure fan boy hatred of a console they don't like rather than discussion about what the article talks about.
IMO it is definitely worth the upgrade especially if you have a 4K TV but it seems most people here don't care about that.

Hard to say right now.. It all depends on the effort put in by devs.. As of now i'd say no.. Its a beast of a console but people are having the same amount of fun regardless of which they own.. Some games definately look better and all that but the overall experience is similar regardless

its weird how fast people stopped to csre about it, especially if u look at the jan. sales.
worth the update? sure, if u like better lokking games that uve already played

If the X1 had more compelling exclusives, I'd be inclined to grab an X1S to play alongside my PS4 (which has so many incredible games on it that I'll never have enough time to play). Why in the world would you buy an X1X for higher performance on multi-platform games? Put that money towards a decent PC rig, which can do so much more than the console. If you want maxed out performance, you game on PC. The reason I do most gaming on PS4 is because many of the games being played are exclusive to the system. I don't care about how novel the Switch may be, I'm interested in Zelda, Metroid, Mario, and other strong IPs. The Xbox just hasn't put the investment into strong 1st-party studios with compelling new IPs. It's a shame, because at the end of the day, more great titles for gamers is always the goal, regardless of what console you prefer.

If you have the dollars to spend and a 4k tv especially if you dont have either base model then the pro or X are a viable option. I personally would get neither knowing that no matter how crisp and clean the image is you will never get games that tap into the true power of either machine. Which is a waste of all that extra power, especially since we know that the next gen machines will be here in 2 years it is sensible to save your dollars for a real next gen experience. Having done this mid-gen thing both Sony and Microsoft should wait till 2021 so we can have a real leap in power.

Yes , naysayers probably havent played on the machine

own both and each are on a 4k tv. Both are great, the x though, wow. Kinda why I got it

The X is the best console on the planet right now for power and performance. You can scream all day about exclusives and it's true the switch has the best 2 games of 2017 with Odyssey and BoTW and Sony has the best library of games on the planet. But the X is playing every 3rd party title at the highest performance for home console editions right now. It's a $1100 PC in a $500 console. Hate MS for the lack of exclusives but as a console the X is better than anything out there. And I own all 3 and a high end gaming PC.
