The design seems very familiar:

(Silverstone FT03-Mini)

Not a fan of a tower for an entertainment device. I don't want hardware on display.

Everyone that argued "microsoft knows what they're doing" is going to eat some serious crow. That branding and the design are TERRIBAD

The name makes sense when they're turning Xbox into a platform and not something based on generations anymore.

I really dislike the name, but I realized realistically nothing is going to change in the lexicon anyway. People are just going to be playing on their Xbox, just like people play on their PlayStation. Nintendo is the only one that actually has names that changes anything so... Whatever.

Being an actual pc tower makes it hard to fit on most people's tv stands. Kind of an interesting choice, but I like it.

Xbox branding is a mess. Series X sounds barely different from Xbox One X, which sounds barely different from Xbox One S. Why do they all sound so similar? How are people supposed to know which one is better, or even newer?

Felt wii u vibes with the name....XD
For some moment I thought it was a more powerful Xbox One X.
Somehow I liked the design though

Looks beautiful, but I was so confused with the message. At first I thought it was like a special edition Xbox One. I was as confused as I was when I saw the WiiU announcement. Name is bad. Console does look amazing as every console made by team Xbox.

I fear that if I was confused with the naming, casuals will be even more.

I LIKE it if I'm being honest, just hope I can lay it on the side

Going from Xbox One X ----> Xbox Series X is legitimately worse than Wii ---> Wii U.

Congrats.

That is about as a truly horrible name as the Wii U

I can easily see people get confused by the naming alone

And yeah MS going into the PC tower business

Dat's a PC alright.

But for real the size?? Like, either they are using parts more spread out and loose a la PC or the whole thing generates some serious heat. Last option is they are tripling down on the quiet+powerful+always on machine under your TV, which I guess makes more sense.

No joke my jaw almost dropped when I saw the PC case design lol

"Remember when Nintendo made a new system and just put a letter at the end of the name, and people didn't know what it was? Let's do that!"
