Will the Xbox One X prove to be smart strategic move or a costly blunder? It’s a question many have been asking since Microsoft officially unveiled the souped-up console at this year’s E3. There seems to be some genuine excitement for the Xbox One X with pre-orders quickly selling out, but there’s reason to be concerned about the system’s high price and lack of exclusives.

Well, according to financial market analyst IDC, Microsoft’s gamble might just pay off. Per a recent IDC poll, the Xbox One is actually generating more interest than the PlayStation 4 as we head into the holiday season – 36.6 percent of consumers looking to buy a console want some version of the Xbox One, while only 35.6 percent want a PS4. Looking specifically at the high-end models, 21.6 percent of those polled want an Xbox One X, while 22.2 percent want a PS4 Pro.
