I've recently been given quite a few vouchers for a certain retailer and was thinking of picking up an Xbox One X. I've got a gaming PC, PS4 Pro a few handhelds & a Nvidia Shield TV for the retro stuff. As daft as it may sound the main selling point for me is the backwards compatibility..

- Xbox Live and the general framework, dash etc are preferable to PS IMO
- Game Pass is a great deal for both Microsoft Titles and multiplayer.
- Ditto EA access of you like their titles
- Best controller IMO. Of you go for an elite, even better, plus you will have native support on most games on your PC as well.
- Play Anywhere is great for digital games. I don't have a powerful enough PC to take advantage just now, but I love it when you get a new PC and revisit games dialling everything up to 11
- Backwards compatability really is brilliant. More so than on past generations in my view as there really has been diminishing returns from last gen to this. Not the night and day comparison from say PS1 to PS2.
In terms of exclusives, your mileage may vary, but most of the few that do exist are genuinely brilliant on my view, despite the repetition of the same franchises. Many are also available exceptionally cheap now. When I got my X, I picked up loads of old exclusives for the
