So basically it's only selling point is graphics which if you actually care about graphics you wouldn't be a console gamer, you'd be a PC gamer. And if you were a truly competitive gamer you'd play on PC as well.
And lol at mentioning free sync as if people typically connect their console to a monitor, let alone but a new monitor for their console.

The only cool thing about it honestly, as a collector of movies and someone who plans to have a home theater soon, is the 4k Blu-ray player but that's on the S model too so idgaf.

It'll undeniably be "the best" if by "the best" you mean "the most powerful" but the fact that it has no exclusives and is still going to be held back by the PS4 Pro as far as actual game and engine stuff go, so all you're getting is extra resolution that most people don't even have a display for yet and a better framerates on a 1080p TV. Which it's not like console gamers have really been show to give much of a fuck about framerate and shit otherwise nobody would've bought either current gen console if they actually cared.

And assuming the CPU is still Jaguar based (I'm not sure if it is but I'm assuming) it doesn't matter how much they try to raise the clock speed or anything, it's still a garbage mobile platform that's severely underpowered. A $60 Pentium G4560 with 2 cores and hyperthreading completely blows it out of the water which holds things back a lot as far as engine physics, density, AI, etc. Go so games on a technical level are still going to be held back a lot by the shit CPU, but it'll just be able to make the same games just look better.
There won't be a big generational leap until the next gen consoles come out which will presumably be running on custom second gen Ryzen APU's which will be a major leap forward in a lot of ways in terms of what games are capable of. The One X isn't going to really make games be capable of more than just more pixels and higher framerates which is nice and all but considering it has no games and the PC is a superior and cheaper long term platform it doesn't really have any reason to exist.
