LONDON: The Xbook DUO is the first and only backwards compatible Xbook. The Xbox Duo melds the power of the Xbox One with the post-gen fun of the Xbox 360 into a portable, relatively compact form factor. Its father, Eddie Zurich, merely constructed it as proof of concept and the system will not be sold to consumers but it’s a pure work of art.
The two systems share one screen, one power supply and one body and are switchable thanks to two telltale touch buttons. Games are loaded independently, with the Xbox One’s tray mechanism on the right, and the 360’s slot-loader on the left. The 1080p screen is fully fold-able too, allowing adventurous gamers to pack their sacks and game across the world and for those plugging into larger TVs, there’s HDMI out too.
Those pedantic cable management experts won’t enjoy the sparrow’s nest within the case itself, but those building machines in Micro-VAX cases will appreciate the “shove and let live” engineering philosophy.
Gaze upon the wonder of the Xbox Duo below and start praying that Microsoft itself does something like this in the future.
