Xstation, the result of a torrid love affair between an Xbox One and a PlayStation 4

The fan of consoles and video games, edsjunk, has merged the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4 into a single platform, of reduced dimensions and allowing more portability and has called it Xstation.

Crossing the web and searching the internet margins, that dark area full of dangers, has surprised us with a combination, a unification at the same point that has left us almost speechless. A user named edsjunk He had a problem, his consoles took up too much space and the set of his two favorite consoles, which were uncomfortable to carry from one place to another and therefore, he decided to unify them and we found it. What consoles have you unified? Well, the XBOX One and the PlayStation 4 and he has called it Xstation.

This user, who clearly only wants to see the world burn, began to develop this console that internally combines the two consoles, approximately two weeks ago and the idea was to introduce the two consoles in the same system, the same case. He assures that he was not sure how to achieve it, but his faith was unwavering and he launched with the project, first destroying the two consoles, to extract the hardware and see how to assemble the puzzle that involves integrating the two consoles in the same system. After thinking about it, he developed the specific idea that led him to cut the acrylic and the pieces for the general system and the chassis. After two weeks of work and troubleshooting, the Xstation was born.

He comments that it has been quite complex to fit the two systems into a computer not much larger than the standard measurements of the Xbox One S and practically the same size of the Xbox One, which must be recognized that it does not seem easy. This system does not have a power supply outside, it is outside the systems. The two consoles work only a single HDMI connector. Specifically, this console unifies the two HDMI connectors in one which is controlled by an Arduino board. The Arduino board has a status led to verify that everything is working correctly and it has an auxiliary relay inside to make the switching.

The console has a special switch that switches between the two systems, making the appropriate video connector work for each moment. We must emphasize that internally it only has one power supply, which is also switched to power the console that is going to be used at all times, therefore, both cannot work at the same time. Its creator, edsjunk assures that it has done this because if not the system will be very hot and it would be unbearable to have both consoles operating at the same time.

If you want to see the console in more detail, there is a very complete video of it and some general images of the console itself have been arranged. This is an interesting solution that allows you to take your two favorite entertainment centers anywhere.

  1. It would be great ... If in addition to that, a single optical unit was shared and the XBO control on both consoles !! .. hahaha.

    Although they basically have the same HW

  2. A very good job and a great idea. It is a pity that the companies themselves, although of course independently, do not do similar things.
