PewDiePie roasts new Xbox Series X\u2019s \u201cgoofy looking\u201d design Microsoft unveiled their next iteration of Xbox consoles in early December to mixed reviews over its rectangular shape \u2014 and YouTube king Felix \u201cPewDiePie\u201d Kjellberg doesn\u2019t seem to be sold on the new hardware, either. With critics across the net comparing the new Xbox Series X to PC towers (and even refrigerators), it makes sense that the highly-memeable console has made its way to Kjellberg\u2019s popular internet show \u201cMeme Review.\u201d After comparing the Series X to a humorous still from Tom and Jerry, the YouTube star went on to speculate as to why Microsoft opted for a vertical design for their latest console \u2014 which he jokingly claimed could be the result of \u201coutrage marketing.\u201d PewDiePie laughingly explained that Microsoft may have went with a vertical tower for the hardware due to the potential attention it may have gotten, thus giving it a major spotlight in the public eye. \u201cSpeaking of Xbox, have you seen this thing?\u201d he began. \u201c\u2026I swear this is the new way of multilayer marketing, where brands just make their product deliberately goofy looking so people will be like, \u2018Haha, it looks stupid!\u2019 Meanwhile, Xbox is like, \u2018Free marketing, baby!\u2019\u201d (Timestamp: 1:39 for mobile viewers) He went on to compare the Series X to other new technology of the late 2010\u2019s including Elon Musk\u2019s divisive new \u201cCybertruck,\u201d which was also clowned as a low-poly video game render of a car. \u201cIt looks like a fridge!\u201d he joked. \u201cI wonder what kind of snack you can get from that Xbox Series X. Wow, delicious.\u201d Power Your Dreams.#XboxSeriesX #PowerYourDreams pic.twitter.com\/R4ulND4KAx \u2014 Xbox (@Xbox) December 13, 2019 While it may look silly on the outside, the Xbox Series X will be backwards compatible, meaning that fans can play games from the Xbox One on a single, newer machine. Advertised as quieter than its counterparts and boasting a controller that works with the Xbox One (and vice versa), Microsoft\u2019s fridge-shaped console is set for release in the 2020 holiday season \u2014 giving fans a full year of memes before it hits the market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
