The Vision for the New Console
From the very beginning, we wanted the new Xbox console to be different from its predecessors. We wanted to create something that would fit seamlessly into the living room or game room and be visually appealing. The goal was to create a cohesive design language that would tie all of our products together in this generation.
The Industrial Design
The industrial design team took great care when designing the console to ensure that it would fit together as a family. The design had to be efficient and compelling, while still being visually appealing. The console is no longer a vertical icon, but a simple shape that is easy to reach and operate. The Xbox-owned dark chrome gives it a unique look and feel that sets it apart from other consoles. The micro-detailing on the controller, such as the new key for the Y button, adds to the overall design and makes it stand out.
The Controller
The controller has been streamlined to improve upon the previous design. The battery pack has been removed, making it easier to hold and more comfortable for different sized hands. The triggers are also easier to reach, allowing for rapid-fire gameplay. The design team created hundreds of mock-ups and versions of the Kinect sensor to ensure that the final product was perfect.
Conclusion
The new Xbox console is a masterpiece of industrial design, with every element carefully thought out and executed. The cohesive design language ties all of our products together in this generation, creating a visually appealing and efficient product. The improvements made to the controller make it easier to use and more comfortable for gamers of all sizes. We are extremely proud of this product and can’t wait for gamers to experience it for themselves.
