i think it will be about the same size of the original 360, but in that pic of geoff and don it does look huge, maybe there just small people?

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

The one thing I like about it is how it looks. I want my next-gen machine to say "Behold the mighty girth required for my next gen processing! See how your petty home cinema cowers beneath my size!" as opposed to describing it with a load of adjectives that make me sound like I want to fuck it.

 

[jey_16]

It's ridiculous big. It doesn't even look like a real gaming console.

Truly one of the ugliest consoles I've ever seen in my life.

Looks better then my shitty ps3 super slim, can't believe Sony came up with that piece of crap

 

[Totobeni]

ugly ass console. As huge as the launch PS3.

That thing was big but very awesome looking.

 

[Trent Strong]

Really ugly. And I liked both versions of the 360.

 

[Frodo]

I don't have a problem with the way it looks. I'm sure it will fit most of the current set ups just fine, blending in with sound systems and other equipments without looking bad or sticking out too much, which, imo is good.

But judging by this pictures it looks humongous! I honestly could not fit one here at home without getting rid of anything.

 

[Demon Ice]

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

It's using a 40 nm APU vs the 28 (I believe) nm one in the PS4, so it's going to generate more heat, which probably requires a larger cooler. Also I guess it's using an internal power supply now.

I don't recall launch ps3 being anywhere near that big. this thing is a house.

 

[web_slinger_62]

Honestly, the look of the console is the best thing it has going for it right now...it's a very sexy box

Its the home of Masterchief.

 

[Victrix]

It looks like a piece of rack mounted hardware

Which is sexy, I guess, if you think rack mounts are sexy. Or something.

 

[Woo-Fu]

Bigger is better, match the other units mounted in your TV/Stereo rack and have room in the case for more efficient cooling.

This is literally a case of once burned, twice shy when it comes to heat.

They're killing 3 birds with one stone, fits in an entertainment rack, better cooling, presumably cheaper to manufacture the facades since all the curves are gone.

 

[RayMaker]

The thing I like about X1's design is that it does not look like console, it looks like it has a powerful,grown up look to it.

Even the ps3 phat is so flash that it has that gamer geek almost toy like look to it.

but the x1's designs fits into any media center and does not look geeky or toy like in any way.

It will also attract the masses because it just looks like a supper sleek DVR and not a 'toy' games box.

 

[Eaten By A Grue]

How large is the Alienware x51 compared to this? Without looking at the specs visually the x51 seems smaller and it is pretty much using off the shelf components.

 

[Concept17]

Its nice looking in general, but kind of lacks personality. It needs a nice little feature on it that really makes the shape stand out a bit more. Its basically a 360 without the squeezed shape. Just boring.

Shoulda done a giant three dimensional X.

 

[H_Prestige]

PS3 wasn't this big. It also didn't look like a Dell PC.

 

[BlastProcessing]

MS Engineer: Sir we have a new prototype called Illumiroom!

The Balmer: GREAT!

MS Engineer: One problem, it requires a coffee table to sit on and I guess some people don't have those.

The Balmer: NO PROBLEM! WE WILL JUST MAKE THE CONSOLE A COFFEE TABLE!

MS Engineer: ...

The Balmer: crams his entire fist in his own mouth

MS Engineer: backs out of room slowly, avoiding eye contact

 

[Marmaladefire]

I know the 90's are in, but...Come on MS.

 

[Lightning Lord]

ugly ass console. As huge as the launch PS3.

At least the PS3 has some style to it. The Xbone is just a big block with a gazillion vents covering it.

 

[Owlowiscious]

Dont you think? It is beautiful though.

Your avatar is beautiful.

Okay so I measured the XboxOne based of the USB port on the side. A USB port is about 1.3 ~1.4 CM wide. With that knowledge I came to know that the XboxOne is about 25cm depth and 30cm wide.

Now for comparison the:
PS3 Phat: 32.5 cm (w) x 9.8 cm (h) 27.4 cm (d)
PS3 Slim : 29cm (w) x 6.4cm (h) x 29cm (d)
X360 Phat: 30.9 cm (w) x 8.3 cm (h) x 25.8cm (d)
X360 Slim: 27cm (w) x 7.5cm (h) x 26.4cm (d)
Original Xbox: 32cm (w) x 10cm (h) x 26cm (d)

Now from my calculations I get these dimensions for the XboxOne: 29.5cm (w) x 7.5cm (h) x 24.7cm (d)

Note that the scale difference between the left and right picture is about 2.111*

Great post. Guess it's much smaller than it appears.

 

[notoriousKTR]

Yikes, I didn't realize the top right half are intake vents. Talk about a dust sucker right there. Someone has to come up with a filter to clip on.

 

[Rollo Lawson]

The look of it is a huge turn-off for me. They're both pretty big to have to co-exist with a cable box

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

I'm a minimalist but this is one ugly console.

 

[Haunted]

 

[TheBear]

in all honesty it's a box, and while it may be an ugly box with vents it's still a fairly inoffensive box-like design. The kinect piece of shit can fuck right off though.

 

[braves01]

That thing makes Doritos pope look downright diminutive. I don't think people will have space for that monstrosity under their TVs.

 

[ironcreed]

 

[MYE]

Yup, it's a VCR alright

That looks better than the real thing

 

[Man]

It's really hollow inside like a cheaply produced DVD player.
The launch PS3 was pretty big but it used every little cubic-centimeter within its shell kinda like a modern car engine.

 

[bomblord]

Just to be sure it wouldn't over heat this time

They covered the ENTIRE console in vents..

Nice, so not so big after all. Guessing this will be mostly ignored in this thread.

 

[Randdalf]

Honestly, I don't dig the whole massive vent on one half of it, surely that can't be an aesthetic decision. It must be pretty sweltering inside that box when it's running at full power to require such massive air flow. Also, that vent will get clogged up with dust big time if you use the console a lot.

 

[SSM25]

Why this thing is so big? It's not like there's some cutting edge CPU/GPU inside..

 

[steven28]

so ugly

Should be in the OP and thread title changed to "Xbox One Looks Huge (in this pic)....."

 

[JJD]

Man I think the console and the controller are beautiful, but why the hell it is that big???

It makes no sense, they are using notebook parts! After the hardware specs leaked I thought we were going to have a pretty small, cool running console.

Let's see the size of the PS4, they are using mostly the same components right?

 

[fi3rypho3nix]

That thing was big but very awesome looking.

I hated my PS3 original. Thought it was hideous. Did not stop me from enjoying it.

 

[Jburton]

Looks like you can place four of the controllers on the top of the console and be within the outline of the machine.

Looks like a huge fan in the Wired article. Maybe the first iteration will be large to avoid heating issues and a potential RROD scenario. I don't mind the size of a console to much. I just want the games. Once it goes in the entertainment console it stays there till it dies.

 

[freddy]

Quite possibly the worst looking console ever released. I thought the WiiU looked bad, but this takes the cake.

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

The real reason it's called Xbox One, it's as big as an Xbox 1.

Spoiler

I'm sure the joke has been made already, I'm sorry

 

[Meier]

Seeing it next to Geoff really puts it in perspective. It's essentially the size, or bigger, as a cable box/DVR. I'm not sure that it and the Kinect would even fit in the shelf slot on my entertainment center.

 

[vpance]

[Hedja]

Not only is it huge and ugly, it doesn't seem to fit their wider message nor the branding.

It's meant to be the future, appeal to sports fans, etc. but it looks like something out of the 80s/90s. It's a massive rectangular box with vents. Did they even pay someone to design it? It looks like there's so little thought put into it.

Then there's specs. Nothing they've mentioned requires it to be that big and the graphics for the games they showed didn't look all that impressive (apparently they were gimped though). So why is it so big?

Controller looks good though.

 

[Hiltz]

Good lord, that thing is probably bigger than my DVR.

 

[UrbanRats]

It's really bland and character-less.
I was quite stunned by how little they nailed in this conference, down to the look of the console, to the name.

Basically the pad redesign, is the only thing i liked.

 

[Passive Assassin]

Angles baby.

Yeah, it isn't that big.

The design has grown on me, I really like it and the white light that comes on at the front.

Then again my favourite looking system is the original Master System so I guess I'm just a sucker for retro aesthetics
