Didn't 'The Pirate' explicitly say it would be smaller than the Xbox?

Those numbers, to me, look a bit larger -- maybe I just don't know how to count anymore.

Not that it really matters much...

It's thinner, but at the same time it's longer and goes deeper.
That makes it look slimmer even though it actually might need a bigger space.
I would like it more a bit thicker and shorter.

 

[Titanio]

It is actually a bit bigger, but the smaller height makes it look slimmer.

X360's volume: ~403 inches cubed
Xbox's volume: 384 inches cubed

Unfortunately, my Xbox only just about fits on my game shelf - X360 might have to settle for a vertical positioning beside the shelf because of it's even greater depth.

On the upside, it's also lighter, which may contribute to the illusion of it being smaller.

Xbox1 is much deeper than 203mm or 8".

edit: it's about 250mm or 10" deep.

I think concave design make it look smaller.

Xbox1 is much deeper than 203mm or 8".

edit: it's about 250mm or 10" deep.

You're right, it's also a little wider than 12", but it's only more like 3" high rather than 4, which is puzzling.

I'll try and look up the official dimensions, Teamxbox seems to have made a hash of this

edit - Gamespot has them as "11.8 in x 7.1 in x 3.1 in" which is obviously wrong, for the depth at least. 3.1" for height seems about right though.

I tried to find correct information too, but it proved to be more difficult than I expected, now where the hell is my measuring tape, my plaze is a mess and I can't find it!

nice one MS, you said it was smaller and it's basically the same size.

In one of the 3 directions, it's smaller...

 

[V3]

Its smaller not by much, I think they got the Xbox dimension wrong or measured in a weird way.

 

[Acert93]

Maybe they were going by volume and including the concave bit

2nd "official" sizes. If it is bigger (which it appears in 2 directions...) then I wonder what they were smoking when they said it was smaller?

[pegisys]

the xbox1 numbers seem to be off I get about 12 3/4in X 10 1/2in X 4in

 

[Acert93]

If that pic is right I think people have a big problem measuring... darn that US education system!

It's weird that the hard drive slot is not visible on that picture, I think it should be from that angle...

 

[AlNom]

can someone explain to me how you put the disc in when the thing is vertical I never figured it out.

 

[speng]

You just put it in sideways, it normally will not fall out.

 

[AlNom]

oh, so there is a catch there unlike regular drives?

Like PS2...
