Okay, so that’s a long fuckin thread title. My bad, y’all.

Still, I was just thinking how Xbox has finally crossed that line, I think, where there is probably a lot of nostalgia towards the original Xbox. I saw it even make a little cameo as an easter egg in the Halo show this season.

Especially if you had that transparent green shell from the iconic Halo edition console — I’m not even a huge Halo fan (despite having mentioned it twice now), but I definitely remember it being pretty hype back in the day.

Obviously, having a completely different body is easier said than done. But I think if they were able to add even more backwards compatibility, I could see that really getting people hyped more about “Xbox” as a brand, not just a console.

Food for thought!

too much effort to engineer a second series x, series s could work since it would easily fit in the original form factor.

I mean, I know Xbox is infamous for releasing more consoles than games, but I don't think right now is the time. But... now that I think about it, they are crazy enough to make a fridge and a toaster... I can see them releasing another appliance or even a PC tower in the shape of the OG Xbox. or a "mini og x box"

Original Xbox?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

They already have fridges, drinks, food, Hot Cheetos, gum, jock straps, and more.

Original Xbox?

It's smaller and lighter than the PS5.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

If they are going to include and enhance every launch game as a bundle id be down.

Launch ps3?

PS5?

Y tho? That thing was a lunk of a unit. Series X is arguably the best looking console of all time, especially the Spongebob version.

 

[lachesis]

I wouldn’t mind a mini version, not actual size. It was way too big, but my launch ps5 probably bigger…. Hmmm.

Personally to me, xbox only became iconic with the 360, and I'd say rather save up or use that nostalgia for that.

But at the end of the day does it change much, I didn't rush out and rebuy a ps4 with the anniversary addition.

An xbox mini though, or like a streaming box shaped like a small og. Maybe that could sell well

A Xbox 360 shaped Series S with a custom Blades Theme.

that would be a travesty to bring the best to the worst

 

[SportsFan581]

A smaller version based on the OG could be used for XSS, though the fan grill would need to be worked in. Would be an interesting idea for an anniversary edition or something like that.

 

[Skifi28]

I think there are already waaay too many special editions of the console.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

They should try releasing games instead of more consoles
