Worried that maybe the Xbox One is a bit bulky for your game room? Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and some guys like their consoles with some girth. If you're eyeing making some changes in light of the arrival of Microsoft's next-gen console, then read on, because the measurements for the Xbox One have been revealed.
The information comes from a Xbox One developer via Reddit, the same that made all that commotion over the console having the same amount of pre-orders, if not more, as Sony's PlayStation 4.
Here's how it all lays out in your preferred units of measure:
Console (LxWxH)
13.1″ x 10.8″ x 3.1″
33.3cm x 27.4cm x 7.9cm
Kinect 2 (LxWxH)
9.8″ x 2.6″ x 2.63″
24.9cm x 6.6cm x 6.7cm
Kinect cable approx. 9.5 feet (2.9m) long
The post adds that the measurements were, "Measured with a tape where the precision is 1/8 so all values are an approximation." In the end, I can't imagine it will amount to much of a difference. And yes, in case you were wondering, the measurements "includes the fan on the back."
Microsoft's Xbox One launches on Nov. 22, and will be available in Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Spain, UK, and the United States for $499.
The new console claims an 8-core x86 processor and Microsoft hopes it will take the place of the family room cable box by letting you watch Blu-ray movies and TV through the console, in a "seamless transition" that lets players switch from playing games to watching shows and/or movies. It will come fully loaded with 8GB of RAM and a 500GB hard drive.
The following games will be available on the console at launch:
- Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag
- Battlefield 4
- Call of Duty: Ghosts
- Crimson Dragon
- Dead Rising 3
- FIFA 14
- Fighter Within
- Forza Motorsport 5
