If true this is done to keep lowest price posible. As all left over parts from regural Series X are compatible. I would take it for right price ;)

maybe xbox should stick to consoles instead of dehumidifiers


Too late, already taken

Need a side by side. See PS5 slim, looked about the same until it was put next to a regular PS5.

Also, Series X was already compact as it is. The engineering that went into fitting all this tech in such a small box was already impressive

There are enough point of references to see it's the same size as the OG
 
You must've missed the PS5 "slim".
This is nothing like the PS5 slim. While the looks are subjective (I actually like the slim more overall), the console itself is actually noticeably smaller and the fact that you can add or remove the disc drive is great.

This is just a quick and no effort way to release an all digital console just like what they did last generation. They would have had to redesign most of the console because when you look at the inside of a Series X there’s not much room to make things smaller really.

Now whether they should have is a different question. It costs a lot to redesign a console. It costs barely anything to simply not cut out a slot and remove a component.
 
They're really leaning into the "It's just a generic white box for Gamepass" aesthetic huh

Everyone likes to shit on the PS5 design but nobody will slag it for being a generic white box

I personally just like the generic look. I don't really like the way the PS5 looks at all but the slim is better at least. Either way how my console looks is probably the last thing on my mind when I buy one.

Reverse groomer.
They should've released this back in 2020 instead of that shitbox series S.

And yeah it is a pretty lazy redesign. I like my consoles black

I hope they ditched the two tone controller redesign too. That thing looked awful.
Not even the two tone colors bothered me as much as how much they mangled the shape and ergonomics of it... it looks like an ugly stadia controller. I'd be all for gyro support but not like this

Did you read the rest of my comment? The unit is already very small compared to the PS5, just look at the picture lol.

This design is so efficient. Not enough credit was given to Xbox engineers.

I thought the XSX was a great bit of kit, hardware wise. But for me this refresh just looks so lacklustre in terms of effort. And just another push towards what MS wants, digital only.

Yeah, it always reminded me of the GameCube. That thing was packed together in a pretty amazing way. So tiny next to the original Xbox, which wasn't THAT much more powerful.

My lord! Gets worse every time I see it. Such a horrendous design. Is that like a little stand on the slim just so it can sit horizontally? 😂

At least the XS consoles are inoffensive in their design. I actually quite like the box look, sits well with the rest of my equipment. MUCH better in black though, the white is not nice.
I like my consoles to be offensive, deal with it.

Yes and lol? It's still a shitty ass refresh four years later

Removing about 15-20% of the internal components with the disk drive, not changing anything in terms of the design. It’s absolutely lazy.

Sony removed what, 30% of the total volume of disc and digital consoles? Initially I’d agree that the Series consoles looked better than the OG PS5 models but the slims (particularly the digital) look miles better.

This is more garbage from Microsoft.
 
I think a color swap would be a good way to differentiate the systems with upgraded storage, at least you'd know at a glance whether it is the 512GB/1TB or 1TB/2TB skus.

Xbox was considerably more powerful, the problem is the tech in Xbox was too new, programmable shaders lead the way to what we use today, but was something very new in the industry at the time. Games like Splinter Cell being on the more capable PC was the only real benchmark at the time, in fact the Xbox was so much more advanced that it can even handle games in HD.
