Xbox Series X announced (formerly Project Scarlett)
- Thread starter vestan
- Start date
Terrible name, but I like the design, though I stand my consoles on top of my cabinet next to my TV and I can understand why those using shelves underneath wouldn't like it.
I just measured my TV unit. It has 6.07" of vertical space. Jesus that's going to be a snug fit. I hope the other vents are on the back?
Yeah it's just an Xbox at this point they made the name stupid so nobody says it. They just say Xbox
Xbox... Series? Man does that sound Microsoft lol.
That can't be the final design, right? Just a vertical cuboid? Looks even more boring than the original Xbone.

Are you now allowed to publically share your opinion on the high end next gen Xbox
lol At the people trying hard as fuck to make the name more confusing than it is.
It's a fucking Xbox that is part of the X series of consoles. That's it.
People trying to make the sex joke are even worst though. Hard reach for a shit pun.

I hope people don't start calling it XSex. That's cringe.
If it's sideways then I'd be more worried about horizontal space, that's where it looks like the main vent is.
The console was designed that way to properly cool that 12TF Navi GPU along with that 3.5GH Zen 2 CPU. At some point people will have to come to grips a design that was built around what's actually inside. If that's what it took to give us all that power and simultaneously give us a quiet console then so be it.
That it doesn't look like a PC? A console should be innovative. A cool form factor both design and controller. To set it apart from a PC. Looks like Microsoft is building an inferior PC. They don't care anymore about that.
I am seriously disappointed. Looks like Sony and Nintendo are they only true innovators left in the console business. That doesn't look anything but a PC.
I am just glad the stupid "One" is gone from the name, and everyone pretty much just calls it the new 'Xbox' when going to buy or play anyway. That design is crazy cool though, and my 3 boys really loved it. I like seeing something different design wise, and Phil Spencer said that form needed to fit function here. In other words, you want serious power then let us do something a little crazy to keep it cool and quiet. That sounds awesome to me :)
I came a little bit close with my joke name in the nextbox name thread
Seems like people think "Series" is the name ala 360/Switch/etc. This isn't hard to understand at all. It's just Xbox. This is the X series version of the new Xbox. That's it.
Just like my iPhone is technically an iPhone XS.
XS is just the model of my iPhone though. Series X will just be model of my Xbox.
LMAO this is almost exactly word for word what I said earlier. :-)
i'm curious about what the whole "series" naming scheme will look like, 5 years down the road.
Microsoft needs to stop doing those gimmicky names... and just settle for something that scales. Nintendo can do that, because they're actually 'reinventing' their consoles with each iteration. This is just the next Xbox.
I really don't like the ergonomics of this thing - if it's 6 inches wide, it might just barely fit horizontally into my TV furniture. But it clearly wants to sit on top, like the Switch does. Which is an absolute dick move, if you ask me.
Like, for demanding such a significant place in / on your TV setup, it doesn't look good enough. Looks like a fat Alexa, or a NAS.

Carrying this would feel weird, because PS4/Pro/XboX/S/X was easy to pick up and place it somewhere.
Now this look very large to claw grip with a single hand.

I don't understand how this comment is possible. It looks nothing like a PC and it's probably the most amazing looking console ever
but consoles isn't Phones!
you don't change the console every year
Except the next iPhone will probably be the iPhone 11. The next Xbox is what? Series 2X makes sense, but they're just as likely to drop the Series branding.
Who says that a console should do what you describe?
The reason behind this design is obviously the thermal design. You have to fit/cool 12tf inside this box.
It wont win a beauty contest but it will get the job done.
No they're going to redesign it to look smaller and better like they always do.
I don't know why Microsoft consoles look really bad the first go-around but they just do.
Ah, you missed it. It was better when it was 12 flops, 12th day of the 12th month.
The name does seem ripe for confusion what with Xbox 1 S and Xbox 1 X both models already existing.
love everything else about it. Really wasn't expecting a next gen console reveal this soon.
