    <p>Great morning after, don't get too carried away by the hype analysis! And fair praise for the XB1X as well. I'm single and have owned every Xbox console and bought the XB1S on launch day. I'm in the 10%, the 1080Ti, 4K UHD TV group and will get the X on launch day. I was pleasantly surprised by the "quality of life" improvements the S offered. I'm guessing the X will be very similar, yet another step up. Everything will look better, brighter, load faster, etc. Hardly worth $500 for most, which makes the $250 S an even better deal. My gut is the VR piece isn't quite there yet. Everything at Microsoft seems to come down to a computer science problem and likely the HMDs in the pipeline are not quite where they need to be, so Microsoft is waiting to jump in with both feet until the market can ensure a good experience. As a Vive and Oculus owner there are few things worse than a bad VR experience. Thanks Brad!</p>
