What do you think about Xbox Series X design?

It's going to work amazing for me, my scorpio is vertical next to my tv. And everything in the living room has A lot of straight edges chairs, tv stand even my couch is very rectangle shaped even for a couch.
This form factor will have better thermals and noise levels than current consoles, BUT it will not fit neatly under my TV like XBX and Pro does.
It seems to take less horizontal space wich is nice and I don't mind the increased vertical as my tv is hanged in the wall, also it looks stable enouh so my cats can't throw it to the floor.
I'm really liking the controller and I'm very interested in tha floating dpad

It looks fine. It's just easier to fit a flat box in people's home setups though.
Definitely a weird choice. But, Corsair sells the little tower PCs that work well so I'm not concerned about performance.

Not sure that would fit for me even on its side. Looks very boring, but stuff like that matters little to me.
I definitely like it. I'd have no issues with putting it on my desk on the place where my console is now. I actually think the setup would look better than it currently does and it even might free up some deskspace if i set it up like on the pictures.
So, I said earlier that it looks both surprising and unsurprising.
It is surprising because i never expected them to go tower and it looks great on its own.
At the same time, it doesn't look "new". Coupled with the stupid name, you could just mistake it for a different version of the Xbox One X

If the PS5 is similarly powered using the same family of components it's either going to be roughly a similar internal volume or a lot louder. MS looks to have went for a large and slow fan. Of course Sony have pulled out some really good cooling solutions before so they might pull out a curveball, but the PS4 family suggest not.
I like it. Surface area is likely smaller than current consoles, Foot tall and half a foot wide at any angle is my sweet spot. Meanwhile the seamless black monolith is super clean compared to the chunky layers of the PS4 or the Two Tone Xbox One, looks way more premium.
It might grow on me, but I don't like it. Shame as the Xbox One S and X are great designs.
The shape of it is really impractical to me.

Looks fantastic vertically but meh horizontally. Unfortunately my tv cabinet can only support it horizontally.
We also designed Xbox Series X to support both vertical and horizontal orientation.
I assume a hell of a lot of people buy TV stands and put their consoles in them. I own this one. Hell, even Ikea's official picture from their website here has an Xbox One in one of the slots.
For reference, this Hemnes TV stand (I have a 65 inch TV on top of it) is just a tiny bit wider than the width of a 65 inch TV. No space for anything on the ends at all. That TV in the pic is like for a 40 inch TV or something.
All I can say is that I think a lot of people will be struggling to find places to put them - especially the kids whose parents are not going to buy new furniture to accommodate their stupid game thingy.
Now, look - I don't hate the design. I just think this won't go over very well. Of course, that shouldn't be a reason NOT to innovate, but...
I dig the look, I think it looks great.
But I don't think it's very practical, I would have nowhere to put that thing.

There seems to be a lot of space next to the TV. Maybe I am blind...

Tbh isn't kinda dangerous to put a modern console is such a tight space? This screens overheating to me.
The back end is a hole. It's a tunnel basically, there is no backboard blocking ventilation. I've never had overheating problems with any console in there.
