What do you think about Xbox Series X design?

Shit name, good design. A nice boring brick that won´t take up too much space under my table and black by default. No complaints.
yeah id rather have it standing and in a year whos to say i dont have a new tv stand?
Do you not have six inches of vertical clearance? Your old consoles would be starved for air for cooling with such limited overhead space. This system has fans on the top (and likely the back), which means a sideways configuration might actually be more efficient than with past systems.
Nope, only one, you can somewhat make out the sync button on the front image
I looked in the 3 scenes and IF there are 2 they are at VERY unusual spacings
I think they went too risk adverse it's just too simple looks like a subwoofer or speaker or something, if it's going to take up so much space it should have some cool design I mean led lights are cheap now days. I'm not even sure we should refer to it as a console anymore. I suppose we should have all known this was coming with the focus on power, I'll be surprised if ps5 isn't larger than a pro as well or even something similar.
Maybe they'll take a cue from PS and let you rotate the logo ;)
Stunning
But I hope they take a design cue from Sony and have that logo rotate somehow when you lay it down

My shelve is open in the front, sides and back, thers plenty of air flow, but is a space where u can place only horizontal consoles. This design is too tall to fit in it. (Just measured it the shelve has 4.7 inches/ 12cm of vertical space.)
It looks like a subwoofer or a mini-PC. Nothing too special about it, but it's not terrible, either.
Standing up it won't fit in many TV cabinets or entertainment systems and if you lay it down it looks like ventilation will be an issue if that top part is the only vent, as it's going to be up against a panel or something else.
I dunno, it doesn't look practical at all.

I've realized over the years that I kinda just... like consoles. I enjoy seeing them and thinking about them. This is a bold design, and to me it stands out. Probably the best looking Xbox. The One X looks slick too, but it's nothing special in terms of design.
RIP anyone storing consoles on shelves with low clearance. Should fit in my setup horizontally, or else maybe beside my TV or something (already had to do this with Switch).
Hoping PS5 is vertical now so I can have a row of consoles beside my TV.

I'm into boutique SFF cases and if you removed the CD tray and Xbox logo, this would be something I would buy. I really dig the design and matte aesthetic they've got going on here between the controller and the console.
The design is smart and neat but it might be hard for a lot of people to put it where they'd normally do so.
That might be BY DESIGN. These new consoles will be running with much beefier hardware than last gen, so they've gotta dispel a lot of heat. Keeping it the "standard" form factor means people would be more likely to treat it like old consoles, where they just stick it in a poorly ventilated cabinet designed for low-powered stereo equipment and forget it.
I would not be surprised if the PS5 is also more uniquely designed than just another black rectangle with the same foot print as the 4/Pro. We already know the dev kits are crazy looking.
Visually I fucking love this design. On the flip side, I can't see how I would fit this box into my current setup. Not the most practical design for stowing into an entertainment center.
It's fine, simple minimalist design.
What is more important to me is that it run like the X does. Quiet.
I keep my console outside anyway to give ti more air. Which for a 12 TF machine should just be the default suggestion anyway.

:p
I actually think this sort of design looks better as a fridge than it does a games console lol.

so that rumour of a voice assistant's probably true right?
i mean to be fair that sounded like an obvious thing considering where home automation has gone

Absolute monstrosity. I have no room in my setup for something like this (unless I put it on the ground), whatsoever, so based on that alone I will not get it. I prey to god PS5 looks sleeker than this.
The X series design makes me think the design team tried to make it as sleek as X1X, but couldn't get the cooling solution to work properly so they just said 'fuck it, we're screwing up the name, let's do the same for the design, since there is no turning back now after all the R&D that we put in this thing'.
I'm very curious about the specs though.
