The stand adds an entire inch? Yeah I don't believe that's the case.

I bet the PS5 though is going to be insanely quiet and cool compared to previous generations! But I am hoping I can cram that bad boy into my entertainment center, I only have 5" of clearance so it will be interesting...

Series X
Volume = 15.0876×15.0876×30.099 = 6851.6061445022 centimeters3
PlayStation 5
Volume = 26.0096×10.3886×39.116 = 10569.273478185 centimeters3
I hope that paints a better picture.

Regardles of the volume the PS5 is still going to fit horizontally in my entertainment center.
XSX will have to be verticle on top.

Most people have units like this which don't have the tallest shelves. This is Tom Warren's. Most people are going to have to put the Series X on top. The PS5 is far easier to fit in a traditional shelf than the XSX. No question.

I call total bullshit on that, I've seen about a thousand entertainment centers in peoples homes and I can tell you right now that this is an edge case design..Most people have units like this which don't have the tallest shelves.

Few and I mean FEW are this thin vertically, you're looking for poor examples. Anyone with a brain can see that.

Sure it will. If you claimed your PS5 can fit horizontal, a Series X will fit too.

The PS5 will fit under more TVs than the XSX will.

It's function over form for me. So if the PS5 needs to be that large to run cool, and not sound like a jet aircraft taking off at full throttle, then I don't care how big it is. I just can't go another generation like the PS4 Pro that I had to put up with.

How do you figure that when the XSX is taller?

I’ve seen zero people I know with super thin media shelves like this stand.
that is definitely not a popular design.
but for anyone with a design like that then ya, Series X will need to be stood up in the top or on the side somewhere not blocking the TV.

The Series S is 2.5" tall, the PS5 with the stand is 4.4" or so, it wouldn't fit horizontally in that either...
Horrible example.

I'm talking about the Series X. Horrible reading comprehension.

That GPU is running pretty hot, so it’s not too surprising. They are probably just covering their asses so that they don’t end up with a lot of consoles suddenly catching on fire.
Thats a horrible example, I don’t think the PS5 can fit in Those shelves and even if it did, you wouldn’t want it in a confined space. Just sit that shit on top.

Not the point, you posted a picture trying to conflate the Series X not fitting and didn't even have the self awareness to realize the PlayStation 5 wouldn't fit in this spot either.
You're oblivious.

Jesus I hope not. Can you imagine the uproar?
Yeah, I have started having serious doubts about getting this console. Not only is it butt ugly, it's white (at least make it black so I can try to pretend it's not there), but it's obscenely large.
I don't want this ugly thing, and I don't know where to put it. I'd have to put it on the floor next to my hifi setup. Absolutely absurd.
I always get consoles day one, but this.. I need to think about it. Wait for a black one, or maybe a slim version if it doesn't take too long.

Let's talk about consoles which exist shall we, we all know the Series S isn't real.
The PS5 will fit under more TVs than the XSX was my point. You added an inch on top of the PS5's size to make it seem like they would both encounter the same issues, but that's hardly the case. The PS5 was designed with a thinner comparative design for that exact purpose. Microsoft was willing to completely forego that with their design and it's evident.

The XSX is taller when placed horizontally what do we need proof of?

They had to make it big with a curvy design to hide the giant fan vents under the curved white shell.

Are you sure about that? Because the fact of the matter is most entertainment centers have horizontal compartmentalization than any kind of perceived vertical issue. My Laserdisc player could fit in most entertainment centers, this is a totally false concern.

The truth of the matter is the XSX is slightly taller. I don't think most entertainment centers would be constrained by size horizontally, since you'll probably put two consoles on a shelf regardless. Both of them will probably fit in most entertainment centers.
The issue for me is the PS5 is ugly as hell, and it being huge and ugly is a double whammy.

Thicker than I expected, but I didn’t buy it because I wanted a piece if console art next to my TV.
That said, it strikes me that those worried might prefer the console in the vertical position to hide those THIC hips.

The issue for me as well is it's considerably uglier when laid horizontally, the design cues like the Series X were vertically focused.

Of these entertainment centers that can't fit the series X horizontally. You keep claiming ps5 will fit under more tvs and posted a single TV stand that won't, and it probably wouldn't fit the ps5 either as the ps5 is taller than the series S and the series S barely fits, and are now trying to claim the series X will somehow just be too big to fit under a lot of peoples tv stands.
Edit: here's what you said
So back up your claim.

My EC is sort of similar to this, but wood and without the two columns on the side. I got it specifically to be open and not trap air inside tiny shelf compartments.
That ugly, giant white, lopsided eyesore is going to look like a fisher price toy.

Yes. Most typical entertainment units below TVs are not constrained horizontally but they are vertically. The Series X is taller than the PS5 when placed horizontally thus it is logical to deduce that it will struggle to fit in more units than the PS5. What is so hard to understand about this?

Don't bother, the height and width language of my entertainment center is more indicative of general overall dimensional design both horizontally and vertically.
The guy is off his rocker. Series X won't be a problem for basically anyone.

True if this is math class trying to find the volume of an object.
But the calculation is valid for everyday usage since tv stand shelves are not built to contour to the shape of a curved device like PS5.

That setup is the second ugliest thing I've seen today after the PS5
It looks like ROB the robot
