Xbox series X: how big is it compared to Xbox one and what's different?

Although Xbox Series X won’t arrive before the end of this year 2020, the trade press has already managed to get its hands on the console. Xbox Series X has a particular shape, it has already been seen during official presentations, and a series of technical features never seen before in the history of consoles. But how big is it and what’s different from Xbox One?

In this regard, Digital Foundry comes to our aid with an eloquent video in which it compares not only the dimensions, but also the different hardware components present in the two different platforms. Among the various discoveries, Both Sony and Microsoft have not yet released official pricing information, but there are good reasons not to. For those wishing to purchase a next-generation console, the price of the Xbox Series X and PS5 was the most important factor in a Twitter survey. Both companies do not intend to repeat the mistakes of the PS3, which was presented at 599 euros (in the 60 GB version) in 2006, or of the Xbox One presented at the price of 499 euros. Several rumors have suggested that the new Xbox will cost around 500 euros, but that’s just speculation.

In other words, we don’t yet know the price of the Xbox Series X actually has two motherboards; these are mounted on both sides of a solid piece of aluminum. A heavy heat sink consisting of a copper steam chamber and an aluminum heat sink thus allows for cooling.

Other important components like the power supply and the 4K UHD Blu-ray are inserted in position before the last piece on top, that is the fan.
