An image of what seems to be a white Xbox Series X controller has kicked off a frenzy of hypothesis.
Over the weekend, a (since deleted) Reddit post had an image of a white Xbox Series X controller.
As noticed by The Verge, the unique Reddit person claimed to have taken this image at a celebration they’d attended in Washington (the place Microsoft’s Seattle HQ is situated). The account and the submit are actually gone, however this hasn’t stopped the image from making the rounds on-line.
Microsoft has solely ever formally revealed a black Xbox Series X, and its accompanying black controller. The existence of a white model isn’t itself a shock, however the timing of this specific submit lead some to consider the white controller belongs to Xbox Lockhart, the rumoured cheaper, less powerful sibling of Series X.
Although the person in query didn’t handle to take footage of the console, he instructed The Verge that the console is certainly white and that it “looked more squarish and the Xbox button looked bigger on it.”
This was one other element that additional fuelled fan hypothesis, for the straightforward indisputable fact that an artist’s mock-up of Lockhart’s design beforehand imagined it as a small, white field.
This contradicts latest, credible studies that Lockhart will have a more standard, horizontal design. It additionally glosses over the actual fact Microsoft might have merely gifted members of the Xbox group a particular, restricted version white model of Series X.
Indeed, the corporate did simply that in the beginning of this console era with a white Xbox One (which later ended up on eBay). Microsoft, after all, did later launch official white variations of Xbox One to most of the people. At the time, nonetheless, you would solely get one in the event you labored on the console.
All of that clearly assumes the Reddit person in query didn’t simply 3D print it, one thing that happened before.
