Thinking about trading my Xbox One for 950/XL

My question is... Will it be worth it in the long run? I don't use my Xbox one often at all and it is like new condition. Has forza horizon 2. Kinect and the original box. Is the trade worth it? Or will the 950/950XL lose value way before the Xbox does?

I really need/want a new phone and want the 950XL but can't afford to buy it do I figured I'd see if trading the Xbox would be good.

Thanks

If I posted this in the wrong section I'm sorry..

Don't see anything wrong with this. It's about your personal value. If you want the phone more than the XBO, then sure, go for it.

About the value thing, I think monetarily, the phone is going to lose value faster, but then that's not the only intrinsic value.
If you're like me, and see value in the OS implementation and integration, then there's value that persists beyond the other.
I like my 950XL a lot.
If services get *really* thin, the next time I need a phone, I'll probably be looking at Android, I hate to say it; I can't do the iOS thing.
I hope that the platform rallies, somehow, one can always hope ;-]

Don't do it, the Xbox one will still be worth a lot more in 5 years than the Lumia 950. Consoles have 5-10 year life spans, a phone has 1-3 years
