That's ... interesting. I wonder who is responsible for that? The length is especially egregious.

Maybe they mean "with Kinect sitting on top of it." That would be bad but also kind of funny.

It's most likely computer calculation vs. human calculation. Somebody's wrong. I'm thinking the computer image is a scaled representation of the One S vs. the Original, and the real life image is obviously the real thing. Maybe it's only, 25-30% smaller.

Maybe the design team doesn't know fractions and they just made it 40% of the X1.

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

The first image comes from the Microsfot E3 conference doesn't it?

This is actually pretty crappy, now that I think about it.

Looks like the misleading picture has the XB1s 40% smaller in each dimension (length, width and height)

The 2nd image doesn't show a clear picture. Should have been taken looking down at the consoles not looking straight at the consoles.

Edit- Here are some comparisons
