White Digital Xbox Series X is a very clean looking console

It looks clean alright. It is perfect for minimalist players who are new to the platform and prefer digital only purchases with their pros and cons.
It is also clean from your whole previous physical library of xbox, 360, xbox one and series games as well as any cd, dvd (dvd upscaling is not good to be fair), blu ray, 4k media you might have.

Couldn't be bothered? Really. It takes a fair amount of effort to redesign a chassis and rearrange the components around it. Once that is done, now you need new tooling in manufacturing. In what planet is that really worth the cost? This is a cost effective solution. Sony went through the trouble to make the digital and drive version the same so there is a precedent there too.

Microsoft have obviously done this in the past. Both 360 and especially Xbox One went through several revisions. We can just assume it's not considered important this time. My take is that Microsoft are not interested in hardware anymore.

The savings on node shrinks just isn't there anymore. In fact it's probably the opposite.

This is that grass is always greener on the other side type thing isn't it.
launch a black console = boring and safe
release white version of said console = sleek and clean
launch a white console = eyesore and too loud
release a black version of said console = best thing since sliced bread.

Dont worry, PS6 will have straight lines too. Sony has a very clear design cadence when it comes to their consoles. Curves, straight, curves, straight, curves.... next one will be straight again.

MS should have that option just like Sony offers with the newer PS5 models.

I’m not sure what you mean, but I do feel that their new “robot white” is too white. I have the Xbox One S, and its white is perfect.

Actually thought the White PS4 Slim was the best looking console last gen:
Not a fan of PS5 design. Digital Slim model isn't bad.

Honestly Xbox has done great with the industrial design of this gen's devices, the non-joke special editions of Xbox consoles are insanely nice.
(I personally own the Halo Infinite version, it looks even more stunning in person, photos don't do it justice, my wife loves it too as it completes the decor too).

Beauty is certainly in the eye of the beholder, because that has to be the laziest console design ever created.

Should have had an option for an external usb disc drive support. Also, the mid gen refresh plans they had were obviously scrapped but had some nice improvements over this bare bones attempt.

Instead of doing special additional consoles like the Indiana Jones and his Great Ringpiece edition:
I think Xbox should offer more of their wraps. I thought that was a cool idea, but they've done only 3 of them iirc (Starfield and 2 camo ones). Bit of a missed opportunity.

I don't think the original design is lazy. It's cool how they actually got everything to fit in that size. The digital white is pretty lazy, though, yeah.

The only more boring console design is the Series S and the Xbox One

It is ugly

I have the same. It's a pain in the ass with a crap UI and app that takes forever to change anything.
For someone that owns both a series X and PS5. My ps5 needs cleaning more often than series X.

I haven't even watched one single episode of that Spongebob thing, but that console design while hilarious is also genius. Lovely. I'd buy itIt's just white.....
Wake me up when they start releasing unique designs like:
You could do almost anything with that formfactor and all they do is black and white.

You can put OpenWRT on it. But the app works fine.

It does look cool, but I like that Galaxy black one that's getting released, at least in pics it looks killer. I'd like to trade my launch XSX for it but can't be arsed.

I think the Xbox One X was the nicest looking console design wise that MS made. Series X isn't bad, and it borrows from the design language they used in the One X but it's I think it's okay, feels a bit boring at times, better than this white one though... IMO.

You can make the PS5 look cool though. I have the dark gray translucent cover for my PS5 from dbrand and I think it looks pretty nice now.

The app takes forever for me when you change and save a simple device name, not sure why.

How good looking was the Xbox One X though (in black)? Very nice bit of kit!The white color does look slick and premium.

I went full digital during the 360 era. It was awesome for me when Xbox started their BC program as I was discovering new games in my list each month that I had previously purchased.
Even now, I buy movies and music on disc, but immediately get them on Plex and iTunes for the convenience of being able to use them anywhere.

If I was to look at the Xbox One X and Series X side by side not knowing any better
I'd think the One X was the more advanced model and the Series X was the last gen.

Yeah… someone already tried that angle of marketing and went very poorly.

I agree it looks clean, but I was disappointed that they didn't even shrink it in size, much less use the leaked redesign.

The One X is still my favorite modern console design. Absolutely incredible how they managed to pack so much performance into a form factor that was even smaller than the One S, and have it be as quiet as it is, and run as cool as it does.
The Series X is a lovely looking console, though. The mini ITX silhouette has always been really cool to me, and the engineering speaks for itself.

From a design standpoint gamers aren’t use to the shapes of both the ps5 and series x.

They did half of the work.

I would actually consider buying if they offered it with 1TB and sold it at the normal price.

Actually looks pretty darn good! The black + green one looks even better!
Though I haven’t used my OG Series X in a while, I’d splurge on a Gears themed X in a heartbeat!
