What does everyone think the ratio will be of X1X vs X1S sold this holiday?
Looking at PS4 Slim ($300) vs PS4 Pro ($400) over last holiday, 1/5 sold were the premium version. $100 price difference, but I remember there were quite a bit of deals going with the PS4 slim with discounts and pack-in games. Not quite the case with the Pro, though I do remember there being a rare deal here or there, such as the PS4 Pro with purchase of a 4k TV from Best Buy.
WIth X1S ($250) vs X1X ($500), the price difference will be even larger. It does seem that there a bit more hype for the X1X than the Pro though, but I feel like that price difference will become pretty significant for the general public and non-enthusiasts. I'm confident Microsoft will run promotions with the X1S too. With the X1X, all we know is they are going to offer different editions.
I feel like its going to do similar to the Pro. I think the enthusiasm will off-set the price difference initially because idiots like me will buy it right away without hesitation and without any promotions once preorders become available, but once that initial wave is over I could see that $500 price point vs a $250 X1S likely with pack-ins putting off most people just looking to play current generation games.
