My favorite gen, and the first gen I knew what was going on. PS2, GameCube, and Xbox were so unique and all 3 were special. Hopefully we see something like that this gen.

I think it's a great piece of industrial design, in-line with the Surface branding.
And we know the cooling capabilities will be stellar (allowing for very quiet operation).
My PS4 Slim is noisy as hell, even just sitting on the UI doing nothing.

That French journalist was right - an upright monolith, amazon echo meets mini PC.
You're not meant to stash this away and pretend that you're a well-adjusted adult who doesn't play video games, it's meant to sit front-and centre and be a part of your everyday life: xbox wanted to command the living room with xbox one but the TV wasn't it, but a personal assistant that also plays games, that's got more going for it.
Lockhart will be a little cute cube, won't it?
"xbox: dim the lights, play halo infinite, remind me to go to bed before 3am and wake me up for work at 5:30"

I think cooking & quietness were big factors. After the RROD fiasco I'm sure Microsoft doesn't want another fuckup like that. And they've said it's as quiet as a Xbox One X which was already super quiet.
With that said, I'm excited to see PS5. If Sony can provide similar power in a slimmer package I would be impressed.
I wonder if this Xbox has a power brick lol?
Sorry, I couldn't hear your post over the sound of Spiderman running on my base PS4
I think that is the message they want to give out to the community at large, it's more on the lines of PC gaming...i also get a hunch that they might allow for component upgrades in the future....
I love it, the last time i put a disc in vertically was on the ps1 when i would put it on its side when the disc would not read. So this is nostalgia for me!
That was the case with the OG X1, which was also huge. The X is perfect in terms of design. It's the best looking console this generation.
Not as ugly as the PS5 devkit though.
In other words: it's a beauty.
I love it!
It's the most inoffensive thing and ppl still hate it? Like, how?
I like the design a lot, especially the cooling solution. Can't wait to unbox this thing. Hopefully the box is like the 2013 Mac Pro box with a handle on it, that would be cool.
Honestly I think if they include support for Amazon Echo or Google Home it'd be really smart.
I like that it's different and I sort of understand the worries about where to put it but then I sort of don't as well because on it's side if the height is 150mm that's not super crazy, unless your PS4/Xbox is crammed in a TV unit with non adjustable shelves it should be fine. I hope there's an additional hard drive bay if they're using an NVME SSD, that would be a great plus, just being able to easily slide in a new drive.
Lol yea I had the original PS4 and it would def get loud. There was a thread on era about fixing it with thermal pasting or something. Just an idea if it's bugging you and you wanna try and fix it/reduce it.
OGX1 was massive lol, like a VCR.
With this being the Surface team and the folks behind the One X, I would think they made it as slim as they could. We'll see tho.
Will probably look like its a nondescript sub-woofer next to your tv stand.
Its aite I guess. Also kind of looks similar to all the Dell mini towers we have at work. Better to be something inoffensive then go crazy like having a V shape on your console like those ps5 dev kits that some people seem to want to actually be in the PS5 haha

They already have Google Assistant support on the Xbox One (you can use a Home to control it) so it will almost definitely happen. It's only a beta but it works as you'd expect (Hey Google, turn on the Xbox/open Youtube on Xbox, things like that), I see no reason why they couldn't build it into the console and then remove the need for the "Xbox" at the ends, or even have a custom "Hey Xbox" keyword or something.
I'm glad the response in this poll is positive. It appears people on social media were tripping over themselves to be the first out of the gate with "B-B-B-BUT MY HOME ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM LAYOUT!".
I love it. I totally get what Microsoft is going for. It's an Xbox PC to wow and attract early adopters. All you dullards more concerned with the layout of your living room than experiencing incredible games on cutting edge technology will undoubtedly get a revised model.

It's decided, my next fridge is going to be as close to XBSEX as it can be.
Literally doesn't fit where I put my current console, but that doesn't really matter since I'm already invested on PS4 and PC.... sooo... it's meh, I guess.
People who act offended about its design are mostly hateful, envious Sony fans who are unhappy that it looks so good.Love it. Hope it's as well built / quiet as the X - Xbox has been killing it in hardware recently.
I'm assuming the people who seem offended by it being just 'a black box' are people who would enjoy this looool
I think it's cool looking, nice to see one of the big two going with new designs.
Unfortunately that thing wouldn't be suitable for my entertainment center.

Well first few days ago i todl you that the console would have a standing design like Alexa like cylinder or a subwoofer but you told me to not belive the journalist. He was riight after all.
I thought it was goping to have a design that is usual but now I think it's kinda cumbersome. I put a console in fornt of my TV you know so this gonna mask the whole screen. Dunno tbh. I don't dig it. XB O X was so cool.
