Xbox One X Was A Response To What Fans Want, Not To The Competition
So was it reactive? Speaking to Giant Bomb, Xbox head Phil Spencer said, ‘To some extent, a lot of what I try to do with Xbox and the team is reactive, because we’re taking feedback. I am pretty active in the social communities around gaming, my Twitter account, Xbox Live… I’m there, I’m not trying to hide behind things. And I get that feedback, and I take that feedback and do something with it, I guess that’s reactive, but I guess it’s reactive to what people are asking for.
“I will say that with the Xbox One X, I do remember from the original Xbox that there was the feeling around the brand that ‘this is a powerful console.’ And when we do our brand research even today, power is a word that pops up pretty frequently. And I wanted to make sure we were living up to the brand promise of what people were expecting from us. And when we were designing the Xbox One X, I didn’t know what the competition was doing. I didn’t know that there would be a console shipping until later, I didn’t know there would be one until it launched in 2016. So there wasn’t a direct competitive thing, I didn’t know.”

Right... I remember 15+ years ago when I was asking for a much more powerful console... wait. No it was definitely not a 500$ console. Just more halo. And that's already screwed up.

That's great to hear, a bigger playerbase means a more successful gaming experience for everyone plus success for the game developers and console developers.

Maj Shouldn't all the consoles be what the customer wants? Lmao
Some people are still happy with 20 year old consoles. Some are complaining the X is bad and not good enough. The customer is never right. The X however is a big step forward in the door for what a console can/should be.
