Will it fit?

[Traxus]

I'm just curious based on current size estimates how many will have to rethink and rearrange their entertainment centers in order to fit an Xbox Series X comfortably into the mix. Personally, I'd have to move a few things around but I could manage with some difficulty.

What say you? How easily will the SX fit in your setup? Will you rearrange?

Fan render from reddit assuming 304mm (12") tall and 152mm (6") wide/deep.

It definitely won't. If I throw my subwoofer out, I could put it where that currently is

 

[Jogi]

Since it'll just sit on top of my entertainment center with a mounted tv, yes.

 

[Sulik2]

I still don't think that will end up being the final design, but I'd just have to lower a shelf in my entertainment unit and it would fit fine.

 

[Betty]

Oh hell I didn't realise it was that thick compared to the X, no way that fits in my entertainment unit.

I've got a wide TV stand with at least 12" to left and right of my TV, so I'll just place it vertically beside my TV on top of the stand.

I'm basically picturing where that vase/candle thing is in this picture. Standing it there vertically. Should be lots of room, plus the plan is to upgrade the TV in the next year to something 4K and hopefully with a smaller bezel, but still 55". I don't think it will fit where my XB1 or PS4 are though...maybe it would. That's gotta be 6". It would be tight though, and look better vertical I think.

 

[TheInfinityGauntlet]

I shall simply sit on it

 

[zombiejames]

Nope.

 

[Seahawk64]

with some lube..sure.

 

[Ionic]

Surely if there isn't room under your TV you can just put it to the side of it on the floor. It looks smaller than a living room trashcan.

 

[Van Bur3n]

It's pretty tight in there, but with a little push, I'm sure it can take it.

 

[Deleted member 58846]

I'll have to take out one of my current consoles (probably my Xbox One), but yes, horizontally.

 

[blonded]

Anything fits if you're brave enough

 

[iareharSon]

... Put it on its side ...?

 

[Bomblord]

Absolutely not unless it's laying in a position that blocks the disc drive.

 

[jotun?]

as long as it can go sideways, no problem

 

[Aranjah]

If I replace my current Xbox One with it -- which I assume I will be doing since it's backwards compatible -- yes.

 

[Angst72]

With all those vents I don't think you should stick in a just big enough place without enough ventilation... It will need some serious air.

 

[ekim]

Nope

edit: unless I put it behind the TV.

If that wasn't garish and in the way I would have had a PC there years ago.

 

[Expy]

Even if I were to get one, no.

 

[Rad]

I'd put it next to my audio system, on the floor.

 

[Kapryov]

I think it will, but I'll need to shuffle things around a bit.

 

[iareharSon]

Why are people making a big deal about this? It can be seated upright or on its side. When other consoles were advertised standing up, did you assume the console wouldn't fit in your television stand?

 

[shark97]

Who are these people with entertainment centers with less than 6" between shelves???

 

[Jaded Alyx]

With no problem whatsoever.

 

[Titanpaul]

Nope

fix your drawer you absolute madman its hurting my eyes

 

[TransEuropaExpress]

 

[Coolduderedux]

Just mount it on the wall.

 

[MistahS]

Easily. I have a lot of space on the bottom shelf of my set up.

Sue me!

 

[Unicorn]

can it be put sideways? That top vent looks important.

 

[Completely Anonymous]

Better yet, ekim - just stick in the drawer

 

[Kazer]

No. But I'm not planning on getting one at this point.

 

[halfjoey]

I think it will fit but ventilation will be an issue for a lot of people who have cubby holes in their TV stand. Laying it horizontal with the disc drive facing out means the air will move from left to right. (If the tower is designed like similar PC towers)

Everyone knows it can lay horizontal. Even then some people will have issues.

I plan on putting it behind my TV. Not in a cubby hole.

 

[Izayoi]

J-JAM IT IN

 

[Hanbei]

No, of course not.

Can't - there is still my OG Xbox One, 360 and Switch Dock inside. (not connected) :P

 

[Bomblord]

Whyyyyyy Why is that TV blocking the door when there's so much room on the right!

 

[Vinc]

Well, with the Switch there, I have room for one more tall console. So I hope the PS5 is slim and horizontal!

 

[Completely Anonymous]

Hopefully MS was smart enough to put vents on the back of it as well, because left-right airflow is a big no-go

 

[Aadiboy]

Wow, I didn't realize it would be that thick horizontally

 

[Siresly]

Horizontal, always.
On top of entertainment center without obscuring TV, maybe?
Vertical, never.

 

[Bomblord]

Nope

Nothing a little precarious balancing couldn't fix!

Isn't that true of whatever console is put into cubby holes? Hell, aren't the vents on the Xbox One X / S on the side?

 

[Dr.Osiris]

It'll be a side speaker!

 

[Powerofthecloud]

Its like 2 gamecubes duct taped together.

 

[Khrol]

Yeah sideways. I used my iPhone 7 Plus to measure

 

[Doctoglethorpe]

If I wasn't worried about air circulation yes.

 

[Putosaure]

Just mount it on the wall.

This is an interesting setup to say the least
