    You can take care of thermals while not looking like a trashcan.

    It looks like a box, nothing remotely like a trash can. Keep on baiting though. Im sure the rectangle look of a console would fucking ruin your living or bedroom with how it sits on a shelf or tv stand. Im sure anyone new who walks in will be fucking floored that you have the pure fucking audacity to have a rectangle shaped gaming console there.

    Or you can get a design that works and spend the rest of the time on something else? Like a second console...

    Who cares what the actual system looks like on the outside. I could care less how big the XSX and PS5 are if they are actually quiet. People must of forgot how loud launch 360s and PS4 Pros where. Would you rather your system sound like a damn Space X launch just so it can be smaller?

    It actually works really well. You not liking literally means shit...

    I'm totally fine with a sober box. No need of some retarded G4m3rZ looking device in my living room. Sober, elegant box is a plus.
    On top of that, having a design putting thermal dissipation as its priority is very smart. Nobody want a new PS4 taking off.

    I really enjoy the look. Both my living room and games room, I have went with a minimalistic look that the Xbox will suit nicely into. It might be a stupid reason for some people, but the look of the console has to match the room for me. I spent a lot of money on furnishing and I ain’t having it ruined by some spaceship.

    Nice naming MS 10/10.
    The worst. I legit still don't know what I bought yesterday by name. I just bought what looked like the newest one and costs the most.

    Microsoft is the fucking the worst about naming their products. I have a Surface laptop. No idea which one I have, I use this thing daily.

    The console itself looks fine, but boy the naming. The people in charge of its name...need a good talking to.

    I have never once noticed the sound of any PC or console I have owned unless no other sounds are present and completely alone in a quiet house.

    I doubt the sound of the console(s) is a problem for the majority of people.

    I'm sorry but if you owned a PS4 Pro or a launch 360 and didn't notice the sound of them do you have like 20 jumbo fans making background noise in your house? Both are absurdly loud.

    PS4 Pro scared our puppy the first time she heard it... It's definitely not quiet.

    From everything I've read, one of the reasons for the design of the Series X is for thermal performance and noise level. Series X is supposed to be around the same noise level as the One X... So quiet.

    I guess it really depends on what you consider "loud."

    I've been friends with people of the elitist meme worthy PC Master Race crowd who think that if they hear anything coming from their tower it's "loud."

    I had a 360 on launch, and while I did notice the fan noise it wasn't what I would consider loud. With the TV volume up to hear the games I played, I didn't have to have it blasting to overcome the fan noise, I don't ever remember the fan noise even being a factor in how loud I turned up the volume. Now I just use headphones for a better overall sound experience anyway, no amount of fan noise (unless it's a literal turbine engine) is going to impact your game play or sound quality at all with those.

    I can barely hear them. It has to be quiet AF in my house to hear the fans. I have two children, a husband and a couple of dogs. I can not remember the sound of silence.

    In summer my A/C is going full tilt. In winter, my heat is going and my TV sits above the fireplace about 6 & 1/2 feet away from me.

    I hear nothing.

    To be fair it does depend what version of PS4 Pro you own. I had a launch model and when I played Wolfenstein 2 I had to crank my TV up. But with my Death Stranding and TLOU2 ones (the latest model) I don't hear them at all.

    The first run of the last revision of the Pro was the Red Dead bundle.

    Yes, I own this hardware. I can hear them if there are no other sounds in the household- exceedingly rare. Not at all if actually playing games, just a low hum otherwise.

    well i just learned that the Xbox series x has sold out in japan.
    some publishers/developers are giving the middle finger to sony and the play station. (example Gun Gal) so i guess they will be moving future games to Switch and possibly xbox.

    i think sony may have pissed off some Japanese companies with all the annoying censorship of japanese games.

    With fan noise, I imagine it depends on the distance between you and the cosolse. I usually have my consoles far enough away that I'm not gonna hear any noise from them except in moments when the game goes silent.

    Apparently that 1TB drive is more like 800GB, system files will reserve 200GB or so. Plan accordingly if you'll be storing a bunch of digital games simultaneously.

    Its easy to sell out in Japan if you only allot 100 consoles to them(whatever the number it was not large they literally sell like 20-50 xboxs a week there lmao)...

    Just saying. If you think the xbox is somehow a thing in Japan now well, I guess you fell for the clickbait.
