Yes, but its not as big of a deal when you see it IRL.

I saw it in person and thought it was huge. Fat PS3 size with the curves filled out.

 

[Betta Lines]

Really is the most boring looking console ever. They nailed the controller though.

 

[Lemonte]

I would not call these pics sexy. But I need that controller for my pc!

 

[.la1n]

The controller is sexy as hell and honestly I couldn't care less what the console looks like as long as its reliable / doesn't sound like a jet engine.

 

[SenjutsuSage]

The $100 million controller looks fucking incredible

 

[Einbroch]

Microsoft's released pictures are way sexier than these. Weird angles, dust/dandruff flakes, reflections of the photographers, etc.

I really like the way the system looks except the boxiness of it. The color/contrast/material all looks really nice. And that controller is SO much better looking than the PS4 controller.

 

[SegaShack]

Really cool looking console, it is basic past design meets modern, very simplistic but looks great.

Has it been said if the Xbox One can stand vertically? For my set up that would be best for sure.

Nope.

Horizontal only.

 

[SuperSah]

I'm not understanding the reason of the side USB port. Is it for wired controllers? It looks out of place. I thought it was the AC out port.

 

[v0yce]

I actually think Xbox one looks a lot better then the PS4 I know that blasphemy here but it's more visually appealing to me.

To me the massive amounts of vents scream poorly designed and the goofy checker boarding of the materials from the front to the top just seems juvenile.

I hate the big lettering. Looks Fisher-Price. Babbys first controller.

Yeah, as much as I want to like the controller, the huge primary letters and the giant chrome home button hurt a lot.

External hard drives, I believe?

 

[SuperSah]

External hard drives, I believe?

Could be, but i'd rather shove my external drive in the rear USB ports.

But hey, at least one's there.

The Xbox Family:

Babies learn shapes before letters.

 

[Muffdraul]

Horizontal only.

Well that sucks. I have no room for horizontal shit in my ent. center.

 

[WonkyPanda]

Day one

Spoiler

for the controller

 

[ThisWreckage]

Sexy is not what I'd use to describe that console. It looks like a checkerboard DVR dust magnet.

 

[Gillian Seed]

The Controller looks Amazing, but the Console looks way to bulky compared to the Sexy PS4. Slim incoming 2015.

 

[Curufinwe]

I might not get one till the first hardware revision/price drop, but I think it looks very nice.

 

[Brokun]

Look at all of those 90 degree angles. SO SEXY.

The controller on the hand looks rad and look forward to using it for my PC.

 

[augmental]

Fingerprint magnet!! My OCD!!

 

[Xanadu]

controller looks great, the box itself is a lump

 

[Bgamer90]

It's weird; I look at this picture and I feel like I'm looking at three old consoles.

Probably due to the dust, the stickers, and the scratches on the table (heh).

 

[Liquidsnake]

 

[solarus]

A controller designed by god himself.

 

[Dark Octave]

Looks like it's made of a thinner plastic than previous Xboxes.

 

[Rogue_Ledr]

The design looks very stale.

VCR-ike.

360 still is the kind of design.

 

[BadAss2961]

Controller is looking very nice.



It's weird; I look at this picture and I feel like I'm looking at three old consoles.

Exactly how I felt.

 

[MrPeazy]

IMHO, The PS4 looks like a toy to me. XBone looks like a piece of equipment. XBone appeals to me more. Controller looks awesome as well. Can't wait to get mine.

 

[Bomber Bob]

OG Xbox is still da boss

 

[The Gaming Zen]

If there could ever be one single reason to own an Xbox One over the PS4 is that sexy, beautiful goddamn controller!

 

[ChosenPredator]

lol i wouldn't be surprised if the controller outsold the console by miles for PC gamers too

 

[RMI]

That controller looks nice.

Not so sure about the box. Kind of a monstrosity.

 

[HK-47]

Can't wait to use this beauty as my PC controller.

Aww yeah

 

[Insane Metal]

still valid:

That picture needs an update. Goddamn, thing's huge! Bigger than the XBox 1. I mean, The original XBox.

 

[Felix Lighter]

I definitely like the look of that controller.

 

[casablanca]

Wow the console is huge !!!

 

[Pie and Beans]

Pad looks great, but I guess I'm alone in feeling the box is the worst one they've ever put out. At least the original Xbox had this wild and wonderful sense of identity. No sure MS realise I don't see all that corrugated shit in my center but just the block front which is beyond boring.

Just... no feels. Nothing. Not even a light up logo or anything? A rectangle.

 

[Uncle AJ]

... Really?

 

[xenorevlis]

It's always hard for me to consider a photo of a console or peripheral sexy when it's covered in oily smears and skin cells / other stuff.

 

[ComputerMKII]

Talk about "Xbox huge"...

 

[idrinkalone]

Can't wait to use that controller on my pc, xbox one as well.

 

[DigitalOp]

I see weight problems run in the family

Honestly... I was moving some stuff around the other day and I picked up my OG Xbox and that shit was light as hell!!

I was like what the? Started bench pressing it and foolishness lol

Guess I was a weakling back then, Still cumbersome as hell though

 

[Shining]

With my exemplary skills and knowledge in image enhancing i was able to dig out this little piece of information hidden within the picture not visible to the naked eye:

 

[weevles]

Dat controller...hnnngg.

 

[shinobi602]

It does light up.

 

[SegaShack]

Nope.

Horizontal only.

Damn, that's too bad. Getting one anyways but now going to need some sort of tiered shelving next to my HDTV. Not a total loss though as I need a place for my stereo and turntable to go anyways. Right now I have the Original 360 and PS3 Slim vertically on each side of my TV.

 

[Servbot24]

The controller is sexy. The console is not sexy in the slightest - pretty clunky and ugly in fact. The controller is what mainly matters though.

 

[Pie and Beans]

It does light up.

Well... at least thats something. No green is puss-mode though. Own your identity and origins, make them your strengths.
