Xbox Series X size comparison: Ikea, other consoles – and a cauliflower

For months everyone has been speculating just how big the Xbox Series X would be.

Will it fit in an Ikea entertainment unit? How does it stack up against the consoles we already have? Is it bigger than a medium cauliflower?

The folks at Xbox sent me a light box with the exact same dimensions as the Series X, so here is a slideshow with all the size comparisons you need.
