*The laptop would need to be in the $800-$1000 range because I need it to have enough power for audio/recording applications. My primary studio machines are desktops, obviously, but it would be nice to have some mobile solutions for audio work.
XBOX, not portable.

Laptop, portable + can hook up to TV + other applications other than just FIFA. 2x the price.

Assuming games for you are somewhat equal, in some senses, you're paying just paying whatever is over the cost of the XBOX for additional functionality and the ability for portable audio work.

I'd personally go laptop but I'm unsure if it'd fit your usage habits and budget.
