The Internet Reacts to Xbox Series X

3.8
Today, Microsoft revealed the next-gen Xbox, which will be called the Xbox Series X. Unfortunately, we still don't have a release date beyond holiday 2020 or a price point, but Microsoft did reveal what the console looks like, revealed some games for it, and also revealed the console's controller, which looks like the Xbox One controller.

"Xbox Series X will be our fastest, most powerful console ever and set a new bar for performance, speed and compatibility, allowing you to bring your gaming legacy, thousands of games from three generations and more forward with you," writes Microsoft of the console. "Its industrial design enables us to deliver four times the processing power of Xbox One X in the most quiet and efficient way, something that is critically important in delivering truly immersive gameplay. We also designed Xbox Series X to support both vertical and horizontal orientation. It’s bold and unique, very much like our fans around the world and the team of collaborators and innovators who built it."


As you would expect, there's a ton of hype, as there always is for the next-gen Xbox. However, many fans aren't impressed with how the console looks. Of course, once they learn more about what it's capable of, what games it has, and other salient details, they will likely not care what it looks like, but right now it's getting roasted on social media and in gaming circles.

Console players can't use the excuse of not having room for a MIDI tower now IG.

OKay.. This is a little silly to me, so many questions pop into mind. Where are the vents for the ventilation system. USB? HDMI? I don't even see how you would even cut it on. lol. Don't get me wrong, I love Xbox more than the next guy that does, but it kind of looks a bit over done. In my opinion, I would have taken the old original xbox console just with better everything, the way it was, sturdy as a brick, easy to cut on and everything was well placed. I don't know, it's of course all opinionated. The memes are kind of funny.

Personally I like this, looks very similar to a mini PC tower, but some of these memes I'm seeing are excellent.

Gary I'm sure the people responding to the name and design are the same people that like the look of the PS5 DevKit. So don't take what they say too seriously.


A dev kit will always look like shit this is the consumer version

Pretty much. It's children that still try to get into console wars. I love the design. Air flow is gonna be great and it's gonna slide right in next to my tv.


I really think its going to double as a PC that is the only reason I can see for that design.
