I get that Xbox 2020 is suppose to be pretty powerful, and you do kinda need a lot of space for airflow and cooling, but... that size can't be correct. :psyduck:

The photos look like it should be about the width of a controller and maybe 2x-3x taller?

However, every photo that shows it pulled up front next to a slim console is going to make it look huge since your mind assumes it has the same depth, which it wont.

Also, does it in any way matter?

It's 6x6x12. Basically just imagine two GameCubes stacked on top of each other.

It absolutely does, a good chunk of setups don't have a space with that much vertical clearance.



Where do you put the Xbox Series X in something like this?

It's 100% going on the floor next to the table. Besides, setups like the one depicted has no airflow for consoles. I think the horizontal version of the sexbox is going to be pretty dodgy for airflow, too.

Here's another one. This is approximately my home setup, same stand, but the TV is the full width of the cabinet so can't put anything higher than a few inches on top or it'll block the screen.

it's actually closer to 3 gamecubes stacked on top of each other

the xbox series x is larger by volume than the xbox one og if you go by the estimated measurements

it's a big boy

Here are some console dimensions (width-depth-height) in mm.

Nes (EU) 254 - 203 - 89
Snes (EU) 241 - 203 - 76
N64 260 - 190 - 73
Gamecube 150 - 160 - 110
Wii 157 - 215 - 44
WiiU 172 - 267 - 46
Xbox 320 - 260 - 100
Xbox 360 (phat) 258 - 309 - 83
Xbox one 343 - 263 - 80
Playstation 260 - 184 - 45
Playstation 2 (slim) 231 - 153 - 28
Playstation 3 325 - 290 - 98
Playstation 4 275 - 305 - 53
Master System 360 - 170 - 70
Sega Mega Drive II 425 - 270 - 85
Sega Saturn 260 - 230 - 83
Dreamcast 190 - 195 - 78
Atari 2600 343 - 229 - 88

The Xbox Series X is estimated to be 310 - 160 - 160, so roughly 2 inches taller than a Gamecube in Horizontal orientation.

And ethan was close to spot-on, if you stacked 3 gamecubes it would be less than an inch taller in the Series X's vertical orientation, and still 1cm thinner.

everyone saying its fine stop and think for one second what good reason is there to make it that shape instead of just deeper and shorter like literally everything else that goes under the tv. its just a garbage design i can only assume cos its the x model theyre aiming it for people at a desk or something.

The same reason you don't see PC cases shaped like consoles. Cooling.

Series X is almost as big as my receiver lol. I use a credenza as an entertainment center, it has space for that receiver and two normal sized consoles. No way the Series X goes inside, it would have to sit on top or on the floor.

thats... not why pc cases are shaped the way they are... is this a bit? also is your claim that something with a form factor similar to the original xbox one cant fit sufficient cooling? the original xbox one model doesnt exactly have an anemic heatsink and fan combo, its far bigger than what was used in the launch ps4 and close to high end PC air coolers.

I maintain that they're aiming for a next-to or in-front of the TV setup for TVs mounted on the wall.

Counter point, flat rectangle design isn't friendly for the TV mounted over the fireplace.

PC cases are shaped as they are for several reasons, but one of them is definitely cooling. A big box with lots of internal volume and big fans isn't pretty, but it's great for pushing air around.

you can fit a 2080ti and a 9900k in this, a xbox series x isnt going to be any where near that hot

midrange pcs will be even cooler and there are loads of console shaped boxes for them now

big pc cases are for ease of access and a lazy industry that is slow to change from *checks notes* the 90s

no it isnt, it mightve been in the past but you can fit high end components into boxes with very little internal volume and get plenty of airflow to cool them. the main reason is the reliance on atx/matx standards and difficulty in moving off of that because of both momentum from using it for so long and also having that form factor allowing for the expandability people buy a pc for instead of something else. an imac pro fits a loving xeon and a vega into a monitor.

I'm just saying, there's a nonzero chance Trump has a really toad penis.
People with clean living room setups either don't buy consoles or make them work for the ones they do. Put the thing on top of the cabinet and mount the drat tv. Or put it behind the TV. This isn't that big a deal.

The priced-to-move version is probably the usual VCR form factor anyway. I'm sure the Nerd Tower is just for the special people.
