Cuphead is on STEAM. Even a potato PC can run it. Sync up an Xbox controller and go to town.
Also, as an owner of both PS4 Pro/Xbox One X, I would say the jump was marginal, particularly for PS4 Pro (MH World gains like 10fps in performance mode? Wth is that?). But the X1X is legit. I'm running Wolfenstein 2 at native 3840x2160 60fps. It's an incredible console. Not every game is going to hit native 4K but, to give contrast, that same game on PS4 Pro only runs at 2560x1440. That's like the difference between 1080p and 720p, but squared.

The problem with the X and Pro will always be about the current gen library before those consoles were released. Convincing 3rd parties that it's worth going back to the older games and releasing an upgrade patch will be tough for Microsoft/Sony but at least some of them have been very supportive like Bethesda.
@Grumblevolcano
Yeah there's really not much hope for the back catalogue except for the top 50 select titles.
However, both consoles add a boost to games regardless of whether they've been patched to run better. So you will get at the very least better frame rates, and if the game uses a dynamic resolution, I'm guessing a higher and more stable res.
@GrailUK The idea that "1, 2 Switch" is only named that because the placeholder title was never altered, while unlikely, fills me with unexpected mirth.
I never seen 'Switch Title 26/16/14' but I did see 'Switch Title 34/35/36/37'. But now they're all gone. Amazon have surely got ahead of themselves and realised their error.
Some preliminary predictions and expectations regarding the January Direct:
First off, it'll obviously use the rapid-fire headlines with a few spotlight focus games format with Koizumi as host again. The question is how many spotlight games there will be; the April Direct had two, while the September Direct had four. I do have suspicions as to what two of them are though.
Second, I don't think they'll reveal the vast majority of the major lineup (i.e. the "big" games for each month) like they did this year in the Switch Presentation. That was a special case because they were fully showing off the system. I expect the Direct to mostly focus on the first half of the year. I think announcements for the major games in the second half of the year will be spread out between the January Direct, the March/April Direct, and E3.
Third, I don't expect them to talk about the Switch online or VC services. I think that'll be at a separate time.
Anyways...
Direct starts off with some 3DS headlines:
Kirby Battle Royale (NA)/Mario Party The Top 100 (EU)
That's it for 3DS headlines. Tha vast majority of that will hit before April. I think localizations of Etrian Mystery Dungeon 2 and Yokai Watch 3 get announced in the March/April Direct.
Kirby Star Allies gets a spotlight focus. Gets a March date probably. Fire Emblem Switch gets a proper unveiling as another spotlight focus.
Switch headlines:
Yoshi gets a trailer and proper title, Summer 2018 release
Bayonetta 1+2
Dragon Quest Builders
Project Octopath Traveler, given an April/May release
Wolfenstein II
Fe
Payday 2
Pac-Man CE2+
Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection
Unexpected 3rd party ports
New Joy-Con colors
New amiibo
Then a couple unannounced 1st party games.
Basically not expecting some massive blowout, but it should be solid regardless!
The Good: Doki Doki Lit. Club. Just kidding, the Switch launch. I spent most of my gaming time (and then some) playing Splatoon 2, Mario, and Zelda. Can't wait to double up on Darkest Dungeon and maybe get a surprise port of Nier.
The Bad: Releases of established series. Mass Effect and Battlefront got terrible reception by the general community.
The Ugly: As mentioned, game journalists continue to wear down the brand of the plebians. The chief probelm might be that the writers are exactly what they are: english majors first and gamers second.

@IceClimbers I think DLC/updates will also be there. Stuff like the January update for Splatoon 2, the February DLC for Fire Emblem Warriors, the January DLC for XC2, the story DLC for Mario + Rabbids, etc.
Also Mario Party The Top 100 is already out in Europe, Nintendo moved it to a few days before Christmas so I wouldn't expect it to appear.
@IceClimbers I think that's the most realistic Direct prediction I've ever seen. I was going to post one, but you basically took the words right out of my mouth so...
I've seen release dates for Kirby All Stars saying January. Which seems an odd place holder date. Specially because it said like January 24 or some weird number that definitely isn't used as a placeholder.
Maybe Kirby is a January game along with Lost Sphear, Bayonetta 1/2 is February along with Payday 2, PAC Man and Dragon Quest Builders, March is Yoshi, April is Octopath Traveller and Fe, May is Street Fighter Collection, June is Wolfenstein 2, and lots of other games littered in that are confirmed first half of 2018. Like Battle Chasers Nightwar, Fallen Legion, Blade Strangers, Monster Energy Supercross, Atelier Lydie & Suelle, Titan Quest, Portal Knights, Hollow Knight, etc...

@Grumblevolcano Knew I was forgetting something! DLC/updates will definitely be part of the Switch headlines. Didn't know about Mario Party! Wonder what they'll put in the European Direct in place of Kirby then.
@JaxonH I think we'd have a firm date already if Kirby Star Allies was releasing in January! Especially if the Direct doesn't happen until mid-January anyways.
No no no. That wasn't the date- I was just giving an example of the kind of date. As in, it was not "Jan 30" or "Jan 1st" or whatever. I can't remember the exact date I just know that it wasn't a typical placeholder date. I've seen it twice now.
