Our Take
With the Xbox One X being marketed as a premium product, it’s obvious that Microsoft is also aiming to generate buzz with the console to a mainstream audience. Given Microsoft’s investment in the Xbox One X as a platform, we have to imagine we’re only beginning to see the full marketing campaign.
