Personally I know many people who opting not to get the X because of the price. These are people with good jobs who certainly could afford the phone. The $1000 price tag for the base model was simply too high in their minds. 

I don't think they are an outlier. If Apple wants to create a premium line, great. But yes, I do believe the price of the X has hurt sales. If Apple is perfectly happy with how many X's they have sold to date, so be it. 

Also I've been using an X since November 3rd. I can't wait to move on to the 8. I find the X too large and heavy, and Face ID is slower than Touch ID 2.0. What I really want is an SE sized device that is all screen. Hopefully that will come in 2019.
