The first two horizontal versions with the disc slot at the bottom lies upside down, I think. It looks wrong.

Yeah he accidentally made them upside down.
It has irked me since they made the renders.
I was hoping by now they would have reworked their designs to follow how the console will most likely actually be sitting.....but I havent seen any updates.

THe Halo and Forza one are cool nonetheless, a bunch of flat surfaces gives alot of space to make cool designs.

I just want one to match the Lunar controller.

Ahh thats what you were talking bout.
I feel ya i feel ya.

Even with this form factor were you really expecting the console to have a really high power draw?
Lest im mistaken this is likely an underclocked 3700(variant) so its power draw shouldnt be too high.

I know we are expecting miracles from this machine.....but lets keep our expectations within reason.

A figure 8 is enough to power what we are realistically expecting esp with an internal power supply.

You have to factor the GPU which was touted as being more performant than the current RX 5700 XT. So either Xbox is just straight up lying or big Navi draws far less power than current Navi while still majorly outperforming it, which is highly unlikely.

No DisplayPort input? How are they doing 120Hz?

"output"

HDMI 2.1 can handle 120Hz.

For that matter, so can HDMI 2.0b.

HDMI can do 120Hz....the Xbox One X already does this today.
If you mean 4K + 120Hz
HDMI 2.1.

P.S Input? I assume you mean output?

We still dont actually know much about the APU being used.
If its mostly custom we can almost guarantee that power/heat was a major thing that was looked at.
A figure 8 should....should be fine, as for it actually out doing a 5700XT how would we even be able to quantify that.....like for like tests between closed platforms and PC are almost impossible?

I'm kind of digging the design the more I look at it. It'd look nice right beside my tv, kinda like a subwoofer.

Digital Foundry spoke as if it wasn't PC vs console relative performance, they were talking about the actual hardware and architectural improvements.

I guess I was just hoping this gen would be a call back to previous ones where consoles launched outperforming all but the most expensive top end PCs.

This looks so much like a PC

The Forza one looks amazing.
THe Halo one is stellar too......but its upsdie down.....since he released that render it has erked me to death.

DId he ever fix it?

Is The button next to the USB a sync controller button?
Also, why no premium Xbox 360S touch buttons?

I believe he might have fixed them. He makes lots of em - Different style and all.

And yeah I believe it is a Sync Button. And not too sure about 360S Touch Buttons. How did they look like?

Speculated*

Im pretty sure through the whole article they mention they are speculating based on what they know and what PC hardware information we have(which is pretty much what we know) there are never putting any guarantees in.

Reasons for that is optimizations made by both Sony and MS on whatever hardware AMD gives them will change outcomes......the parts arent off the shelf parts, both companies have put their own spin on what AMD has.

Remember the 5700XT doesnt have HW Raytracing.....so comparing it directly to either the SX or S5 doesnt make much sense.....even if they might share architecture at their base level.

They 360S button was a capacitive buttons like on you spmart phone screen.....even the OG Xbox One had the nexus as a cap button....so not really a button you just had to have your finger on it....yes cats fuck that shit up, but train your cat to not touch the light.
It was just a premium touch I really liked.
Strange really 250GB was considered premium during the 360 era......now we are complaining that 1TB might be too little.
The times they are a changing.

And im really liking these custom designs......get me one in white and gold....and im sold as fuck.

Jade1962 · Jan 22, 2020

I kept trying to figure out why it had a zipper on the front then realized that's the disc slot.

Can't say I'm a fan of this design especially coming from the 1X.

Siresly · Jan 22, 2020

My favorite port is the S/PDIF port, because it's the most fun to say.

It's not a standard anywhere. Every single phone charger has an A port to that your cable goes in to, every single USB B and USB C cable people have at home from phones, Switch, charging stations, Kindles, PS4 controller, any technical toy stuff like cabinet lights or display lights or simply USB Sticks in any kind of form and use have an A port on one end so you can use it on any single charger, PC, laptop, TV's, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, or Switch.
Why the hell should it be a C on both ends? There's literally nothing you can connect it to cause nothing really uses that.

My recent phone chargers have a type c port, but overall you're right.

Getting back to the design, "Dude, you're getting a dell!". Guess I can put it next to the subwoofer and go for some kind of visual arrangement.

Almost all of those custom console ideas are terrible.

There better be a Halo Infinite launch edition of the Series X.

Prime2 · Jan 22, 2020

After the PS4 Pro if this thing is silent that is all that matters, because the noise and vibrations the pro make are annoying.

The Pro is the most hilariously noisy console I've ever owned, and I've owned the vast majority of consoles. The One X being smaller, more powerful, and whisper quiet has always been so impressive to me.

Portable HDDs tend to come with C these days, but they also come with both C-C and A-C cables.

What if it was SUPER subtle and "in-universe" and based on an unassuming, slightly matt finish oblong crate or technology component inside a spaceship!!?? With just some circular venting holes for Slipspace radiation and a four inch slit to accept Shaw Fujikawa navigation data discs?
Obviously we'd need to keep the power button and other user tools.

Natels · Jan 22, 2020

I don't know if this has been asked before but what kind of trouble would this person be in?

Kind of strange half of the ventilation ports being blocked

I say "Spidiff" and also "Toss-Link" and I have had to say it more frequently recently since I got the Amazon Echo Atmos* speaker with "mini-toss-link"

* It's really a bargain for the price, but at this time only Amazon content streams with Atmos audio - for FireTV et al, but the 5.1 via mini-toss-link sounds very impressive both in terms of "size" and separation but also pure fidelity. Not surprised it keeps selling out. Secret gem.

It's an ugly box but what did anyone expect? It's literally a PC tower that's a tech beast

melodiousmowl · Jan 22, 2020

Anyone else think that the motherboard is in the center and they are using both sides for not just ports but for efficacy in cooling? (but having cpu on one side, and other hot components on the other)

Hey, you can make it look like the bomb from Halo 2 for all I care.
The Chief helmet being the best Halo loot in the past 20 years saddens me. Let's do a console!

Agreed, It's one of the most aesthetically pleasing consoles I've ever seen TBH. It might only be behind the One X. That said, I very much am a fan of clean, minimal design. The more design flourishes a piece of tech has, the more chance I have of disliking it.

I like that it's one solid unit. No different shapes stacked on each other, no curved angles, no ridges, etc. Other than the crater shaped ventilation, it's Just a smooth box all around.

i think it goes on its side so you can probably fit it that way if you wanted to. Personally i sort of like the way it looks standing up, so i might throw an end table next to my entertainment center to do it. I think sony will go with a more traditional design.

Yeah I like it too standing up, though i'd like to have seen a kinda step thing at the top, bit like a vertical PS2 look.

Izzard · Jan 22, 2020

Prime2 said:
I have some bad news for you then, if the PS5 as rumored is matching or close to this in internals it wont be far off the size of it. If it is a lot smaller I would have severe heating worries about it

I suppose we'll have to see. If they're both bigger by a lot then I guess I'll have to look at getting a new stand.

I did dig that, but already had 360 by time it dropped. Hyped if you all do one this year at launch.

Also, do another Chief helmet! I need an updated one to go next to the Halo 3 helmet. Really the only gaming stuff I have out in my media room still. Reach statue was nice too.

Yep, I honestly love the design choice here. Xbox will do really well this gen.

I'm hopeful that the PS5 focuses on ventilation and noise too.

I think my problem with all of these custom mockups is that they all end up looking like cardboard boxes of collectors editions games, with the real xbox waiting to be opened inside.
