I'm not sure why people keep referring to it as a 'brick'. A brick is considerably smaller and more slimline.
A brick looks quite sexy and elegant in comparison.

I might cut my Internet off after seeing this.
The entire white box IS the new XBOX.
Tell me how to fit all those RAM chips on the console board.

Are we sure this is the consumer version and not the devkit?
The more I look at it the uglier I get. You can't imagine the faces I'm making right now.
This is a major concern having evaluated the design. Just not enough vents.
joke? The entire top half is a vent.

That may be one of the ugliest consoles ever. It's a dull box covered in serrated vents. And I disagree with anyone who says that's a sexy controller. It looks like a cheap 3rd party 360 controller that you could find on Amazon.
I am kind of amazed how underwhelming this system is. I was expecting the Kinect/casual/social stuff, but Microsoft seems to have completely screwed up on some other essential things. They could have at least showed a boring Call of Duty gameplay video or something.
And Xbox One? What kind of stupid name is that? I liked the name "Xbox Infinity" better and even that was awkward.

Can someone explain to me why it's so big? It doesn't seem like the components should be taking up that much space.

Even if the box is large, at least everything is in one unit. *
* Plus kinect, and the power brick, and your cable box, and your external hard drive and your 360 for BC.

I wonder if they've made it that much bigger because of the issues with the start of the 360 and they're overcompensating
I thought it looked nice during the reveal, but I had no idea how big both it and kinect were

I don't think it is. Judging by the teaser anyway.
We're talking modern architecture anyway. I think the Xenon processor in the 360 was using a 90nm process at launch. Compare that to the 28nm Jaguar architecture. Heat and power consumption is generally reduced by each die shrink.
The Jaguar architecture is designed for the ultra-low power and small form factor markets. I'm not sure it needs to be that big. Maybe there is more to it than that in terms of the Xbox One though.
I have a feeling it is more to do with making sure they don't have the RROD problems of the Xbox 360 than the necessity of the architecture.

Or maybe they made the 360 with Japan in mind but this time they don't care.
This, you cant cram all this power nowadays into a small ass box. Look at the 360 and PS3. There is a reason why most PC cases are big.

Am I the only person that doesnt care at all what either system looks like? And look at the Wired article, it's not nearly as large as people think. Do people live in cardboard boxes where the size of a video game console is something they need to consider?
No, I live in an Apartment. I'll be moving into a new abode built atop my new Xbox One come the holidays.

Looks a lot smaller there. :s
The Xbox One in the OP looks huge. When watching the stream it looked huge. Maybe it was just a strange angle. Weird.

Looking at my phat PS3 I'd say this new xbox isn't much bigger, if at all. Looks chunky as hell because of the angles though.
