The console wars ended a while ago<\/a>, in case you didn\u2019t know. But if they were still raging on, a talented hardware modder in China created a device that would force a lasting peace. It\u2019s a massive and very cleverly designed triangular box that contains an Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch 2. They all work and can be easily swapped between with the press of a button.<\/p>\n

As first spotted by Tom\u2019s Hardware,<\/a> Chinese tech and computer expert \u5c0f\u5b81\u5b50 XNZ\u00a0has created an all-in-one mega console<\/a> which she anointed the \u201cNingtendo PXBOX 5,\u201d a name that just rolls right off the tongue. According to XNZ, the idea behind this wild device came from her wanting to play various console-exclusive games without having to get up and manually power on and off each machine to switch between them.<\/p>\n

The design of the monster machine is inspired by the 2013 Apple Mac Pro, aka the one that looked like a trash can<\/a>. And while she didn\u2019t use the actual innards of an old Mac, the inside of that strange computer was a triangular setup that ended up being the perfect design to house three disassembled gaming consoles. A fan at the bottom is then used to cool the consoles.<\/p>\n

But creating a triangular heatsink for that would be expensive, so XNZ used an ancient method known as lost-wax casting to create the high-end piece of tech. Essentially, you first create an object out of an easy-to-melt piece of material, like wax or plastic, and then coat it in a heat-resistant material. Then you heat the object and all the soft insides melt and you can pour molten metal inside, which hardens and cools into your desired shape. Nifty!<\/p>\n

The end product is an impressive device but it might not be the most practical. The power supply she used only allows one console at a time to play a game, though the others can idle in the background. A big button on top switches the HDMI input between the consoles. Probably easier and cheaper to just buy the consoles and an HDMI switcher with a remote, but that\u2019s not nearly as cool as the Ningtendo PXBOX 5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The console wars ended a while ago, in case you didn\u2019t know.
