This process of placing all the parts together, like a jigsaw and very similar to how the Xbox One X fits together, and inserting them into the case is 100% done by robots.

Nice to see internal 1tb SSD, no more usb drive needed for me.

THats definitely nowhere near enough, with games already hitting 100gb on current gen, they're only going to get bigger and bigger and 1tb is barely any space.

It should have come with 4tb base and maybe 8tb top end

Then it would be hugely more expensive. Nothing's stopping you from adding your own larger drives.

I have no issue adding my own larger drive, but external hard drives you only get with SATA drives and not the super fast nvme's unless you are willing to spend a limb!

I would have rather the storage space be increased here with the cost of the console remaining relatively the same, especially considering the majority of money is made from the add ons (like the games, gamepass etc) and the consoles themselves have very fine margins
 
How is the PS5 going to compare I think I'm in the minority but don't care which I buy, best bang for buck which ever that may be.

I hope you can sit the Xbox on its side otherwise it won't fit anywhere near my TV.

Xbox Series X Storage Expansion Card – Built in partnership with Seagate, this 1 TB custom storage solution expands storage capacity of Xbox Series X with the full speed and performance of the Xbox Velocity Architecture. Previous generation Xbox titles can still be played directly from external USB 3.2 hard drives. However, to receive all the benefits of the Xbox Velocity Architecture and optimal performance, Xbox Series X optimized games should be played from the internal SSD or Xbox Series X Storage Expansion Card.

Xbox Velocity Architecture – The Xbox Velocity Architecture is the new architecture we’ve created for the Xbox Series X to unlock new capabilities never-before seen in console development. It consists of four components: our custom NVMe SSD, a dedicated hardware decompression block, the all new DirectStorage API, and Sampler Feedback Streaming (SFS). This combination of custom hardware and deep software integration allows developers to radically improve asset streaming and effectively multiply available memory. It will enable richer and more dynamic living worlds unlike anything ever seen before. It also effectively eliminates loading times, and makes fast travel systems just that: fast.

So you can play 360 and Xbone games from the external USB drive.
