Lol, going by the comments in this thread I'm sure some of you would have complained that the PS4/Xbox one wouldn't fit in your entertainment unit if they'd only shown it in vertical.
Some of you must have unit shelves the size of a letterbox.

Surely they can strike a balance? It looks like love child of an Alexa and a generic pc tower.
I quite like the look of it. Backwards compatibility with three generations? DANG. I hope this means all OG Xbox titles will work.
The series will be like this, only more angular:

Built in cortana/alexa... Ooooo yes
It's going on go into my TV shelf or on it. Probably right next to my generic box looking speakers, or on the floor next to my generic sub-woofer. I also don't live in a kennel-sized home. I think I can find room.
The name sucks, it is WiiU all over again.
As for the design itself, I don't mind it. However, this will not fit into a lot of cabinets. I just recently bought one and it will clearly not fit into my new cabinet. Having just shopped for a new cabinet, this will not fit into a lot of designs that I've seen recently.
I don't care too much for XBOX, but it would be kind of funny not to get one, simply because I can't fit it.

Yes. You're missing the fact that Xbox One X was released at the tail end of 2017, and that it is still tied to the Xbox One it terms of what's possible in games on a fundamental level.
Seems like you have already got a fit.
I suppose there is that. Maybe it is sturdy as well? could double as a footstool if need be. Maybe I am doing it a disservice. Perhaps it is just a forward thinking multifunctional design that can be upcycled in various ways when the lights go out.
ahh your right, we never got to see what was actually possible on the X1X. That seems like a hard idea to communicate to the public
Be careful about generic dust. But.. hey I recognise you !
Some of us console faithful thinking we're on par with high-end PCs... and then being brought right back down to reality.
I've got a cheap small computer desk that can fit this horizontally and vertically. Unless you really wanted to fit this inside a small skinny shelf this will fit fine anywhere.
I think Hellblade in and of itself communicated plenty though.
As a Sony fanboy , this is a sexy looking console . Between that and gamepass , I may by both next gen.
Yeah. I have a crazy wide TV shelf. If you can spare the room, that's always the way to go. I might've missed it, but I didn't hear anything about making it horizontal instead of vertical. Which would be even better.
It will be backward compat, but XboxOne isn't forward compatible.
How do you effectively go about saying a game isn't compatible with the XboxOne?
Like do game covers say "Xbox Series" or "Xbox Series X"? The latter which doesn't make sense when "Xbox Series S" can also play "Xbox Series X" games.
From what we know, all XSX games will play on XBOne. Did they say something about this today? I haven't caught up.
I don't mind it but it's going to be a struggle to fit it anywhere vertically. I have my TVs on stands and the screen extends beyond the width of them so it won't be able to go at that level.
Still, doesn't look too bad. I'm pleased that it looks like a 'normal' electrical appliance and not like a games console, if you see what I mean.

The series X's look reminds me of a PC tower, but I still have no delusions about putting it on par with a high-end PC. :)
Love the look. Xbox Edition or something like that might've been cool. The added X just seems odd.
XSX refers to the Series X.
I thought Microsoft said all Scarlett games would play on Xbox One. I remember some backlash about that.
We did get to see what the X1X was capable of: Better resolution and in some cases, framerates.
The fact it had the same shit-tier CPU and storage speed as the 2013 Xbox One is what held back the X1X games, *not* the fact those games had to work on both consoles.
I need to see more before i pass judgement.
I know its a console but it looks like a mini atx tower too.

I don't necessarily think the name of the consoles will be an issue. However I do think game compatibility is where things get really messy. Trying to explain to your average consumer that Halo 6 works on the Xbox Series X and (maybe?) Xbox One X, but not the Xbox One S - yuck.
I don't envy their marketing team at the moment.
That's the first thing I thought.
I mean it looks pretty tall. I'm not convinced it would fit on any shelf on my tv stand..
....and the top is going to be a major dust trap.
