Hmm.. I upgraded from XBox One S to One X for $150. Now, $400.What will it be next year?
I mostly have been using Xbox as Movie player for my Projector + Alexa + Harmony + sound system set up. It works extremely smooth. All I have to say "Alexa start xbox" lying on the bed and watch netflix or blurays using single remote. Because of this experience I feel like I am obliged to upgrade. Last time I played a game on this was AC: Odyssey and it was mind blowing. But, it consumed 100 hours of my life. Wife was not happy about it.
At the same time I have a PS4 Pro in the living room. Bought it to play Uncharted Series. Ooh.. What an experience. I love mystery & puzzle, so does my wife. She can't play any game but she enjoyed watching me playing it and sometimes helping with puzzles. That was very memorable. And, then thats it. It is collecting dust now. It can't play blurays, doesn't work with Harmony or Alexa. Pretty much useless. But I have not sold it just because of the nice time I had with Uncharted. And assuming PS5 will go for around $799, I'll upgrade to that too. They have confirmed it will play BluRays, so I hope they will have some Harmony plugins as well.
