What do you think about Xbox Series X design?

It truly looks like a more streamlined Corsair One.
Lots of ITX cases are moving to - or have had - similar designs. NCase. Dan Case. Ghost S1. Corsair One.
It's truly a glorified mini-PC, that's monolithic enough to not be offensive in any way.
I like it because, at minimum, it's something different for consoles and likely for a reason and not just "Cause it looks cool."

I mount my tv and have this stand under it. Peripherals go on top or to the side.
Ranburne TV Stand for TVs up to 65 inches

I'm not a big console guy... but that is one sexy ass console. Love how chic and minimalist it looks. Hopefully Sony follows suit with their own premium black box.
Ooh, I like the shape of that one. The white panels are not my style though.
I'm not sure why some seem to think it's large. The proportions make it a little awkward but it seems small to me at 12x6x6.
Yes
It's dull looking as consoles go, but so long as it has great games and plenty of power, no-one will care much.
If it doesn't have an external power brick and is ultimately quite, it seems more than fine to me.
What are you talking about? Even if you mount your TV to the wall, you need somewhere to put your connected devices. Is the new fashion "set all your things on the bare floor"?

That's the first thing I thought when I woke up and just saw the picture of the console with the name 'O cool a smaller Xbox One X'. I didn't like the Xbox One name, but atleast somewhat got what they were goin for; this name is just going to cause unnecessary confusion.
I feel like most people don't realize it can go horizontal. Most entertainment centers have 6" of clearance.
When people say "entertainment center" theyre talking about standa like that too. You know, a cubby filled wood thing to put your entertainment devices in (consoles, blu ray player, receiever)
that's.... an entertainment center.
one that doesn't look like it'd accommodate this console in either orientation, mind you (unless you put it on top).
The whole monolith look looks cool. It sucks that laying it on it's side loses that. Simple design and feel like it's a step above the previous consoles they've made.
I think it's a design that appeals to people moving away from having a traditional media center stand/cabinet with a bunch of horizontally-oriented devices. People who don't have home theater receivers, cable/satellite boxes, blu-ray players... They have a wall-mounted TV, soundbar, maybe an Alexa, FireTV/AppleTV on a narrow side table or shelf. If the Series X doesn't have an external power brick, and if you hook it up with a right-angled HDMI cable, it fits in pretty well with a minimalist living room setup.
I think it looks great, but unfortunately it's not gonna fit under my telly (horizontally or vertically)
Simple and to the point, does it power on? That's all i need it to do.
I'm also the type to throw bulky otter boxes on slim phones because I don't care about design.

It's...fine.
I'm not blown away by it but it's not ugly either, it's just kinda unassuming. And I guess that's kind of the point. It's designed to blend in with a home theater system like the One consoles were.
I think I'd rather have a tower than a gigantic horizontal slab like the first gen Xbox One was.

It's not that I have a small TV stand. But between the TV, the sub woofer down below, the sound bar on top plus my Roku and Switch sitting on top.....
The only place I have left is on the shelves, which has been fine for the last 2 console generations. The other option would be to put it in one of the cabinets with a door on it, but that seems weird and I don't think it's good to put a hot console in an enclosed cabinet. It would also look very odd to leave the damn door open all the time lol
Bro that looks very nice. Sadly my apartment complex doesn't allow TV stand mounts due to the damage they cause to walls quite often. It sucks, but it is what it is.
It's simultaneously an understated slab like the X1X, but has a personality by being presented as a tower which is quirky outside of desktop PCs. I love it.
I actually kind of like it. It reminds me of a SFF PC, which I guess it sort of is when you think about it. Given the hardware thats going into both these next gen consoles, I'd be surprised if the PS5 is much smaller or looks drastically different.
It's slick but with the rumored specs it was expected to be as big as a Mini-ITX PC.
Otherwise you couldn't cool the console without having a jet in your livingroom.
So it fits its purpose

Doesn't fit in the lowboard in the living room. But it fits nicely besides my drawer in the bedroom. Sorry Phil, this will be a bedroom console.
I'd rather it be a bit flatter and wider instead. I'm not sure if it would fit in the space under my TV, to be honest. It would certainly be tight.
